What do I have… Lanner FW-7541D-RE1

[brettmansdorf]

OK - I've got this red box - and a bit of searching on the internet told me its a fancy firewall…
Ebay - nothing
Amazon - nothing (actually a pair of pants)
Lanner website - its pretty much there, but the RE1 isn't..  The rest of the content on the website might as well be in Chinese type - means very little to me.

Lanner FW-7541D-RE1 (see pics)

So...  Big question for those in the know...

In laymen's terms - what is it...

I'm going to assume I'm not going to have much of a use for it...  WAY OVER MY HEAD.

Next two questions...  Is this a craigslist item or an ebay item?  And what's a reasonable price?

If I had to guess, it's a custom volume product, "Red" and variant "1".  Basically, it's a 7541D that they painted.

Yep, Lanner do rebadging or minnor moding for a lot of other companies. Many of Watchguards boxes are Lanner though not as blatantly labelled. There were quite a few Vyatta boxes on ebay a while back that were all Lanner and still marked like this one with a slightly modified model number.
That will be an FW-7541 with a paint job. It may have other mods though. Can you put pfSense on it? If it's locked down to the original OS it's going be worth less, worthless to me.  ;)

Hello,

the FW-7541 is a Lanner device and the following D I was only seeing twice together
at MiniITX.de as a real product name and the together with AstLinux in a documentation.
The RE1stands only for Revision 1 of this hardware type.

I just noticed there's a partial logo on the front in your photo.  What company is it?

[stephenw10]

Yeah I was trying to guess.  :)

Logo says Reliant

I thought it was just a product logo…

Reliant "REDBOX" makes sense now...  I got this from a failed sales office who had their hands in multi-lane retailers.

Is there any 'simple' testing I can do with just a laptop?

And thanx to all that responded.

[stephenw10]

Hard to say, I can find almost no information on it.
Boot it up. Plug a laptop into port1. See if it gives you an IP address. Try the console port if you've got a console cable.
If it were me I'd just open it up and flash the boot media with pfSense.

Yeah test it right out! But before open it and se  insite for a bootmedium
and for RAM inside. Lanner FW-7541 Website
In the case that some things are not there you need only;
1 x 4 GB RAM SODIMM - DDR3 667/800 MHz
1 x Industrial CF Card 4 GB
and perhaps a console cable from Cisco

And perhaps if WiFI is needed a UBNT SR71-E or a Compex card.
Under the link you will be able to see what the D means in the product name.
