About BoB LiteTM 4 port integrated wireless modem
BoB LiteTM - 4 port
integrated wireless modem
Compatibility with both PC’s
and Mac® Computers
The modem supports a variety of
networking environments including
Mac OS®8.x, 9.x & v10.x, Linux®,
Windows®98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP and
Vista and Windows 7. You will need
an Internet browser and a network
adapter that supports TCP/IP (the
standard language of the Internet).
Internet Access
This device supports Internet access
through an ADSL connection. Since
many ADSL providers use PPPoE or
PPPoA to establish communications
with end users, the modem includes
built-in clients for these protocols,
eliminating the need to install these
services on your computer.
Front-Panel LED Display
Light LED’s on the front of the
modem indicate which functions
are in operation. You’ll know at-
a-glance whether your modem
is connected to the Internet. This
feature eliminates the need for
advanced software and status-
monitoring procedures.
Web-Based Advanced User
Interface
You can set up the modem
advanced functions easily through
your web browser, without having
to install additional software onto
the computer. There are no disks
to install or keep track of and, best
of all, you can make changes and
perform setup functions from any
computer on the network quickly
and easily.
Built-in Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes
for the easiest possible connection
of a network. The DHCP server
will assign IP addresses to each
computer automatically so there
is no need for a complicated
networking setup.
DMZ Host Support
DMZ Host Support allows a
networked computer to be fully
exposed to the Internet. This
function is used when NAT and
firewall security prevent an Internet
application from functioning
correctly.
NAT IP Address Sharing
Your modem employs Network
Address Translation (NAT) to share
the single IP address assigned to you
by your Internet Service Provider
while saving the cost of adding
additional IP addresses to your
Internet service account.

Page 6
SPI Firewall
Your modem is equipped with
a firewall that will protect your
network from a wide array of
common hacker attacks including:
IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of
Death (PoD), Denial of Service
(DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf
Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN f lood,
UDP f looding, Tear Drop Attack,
ICMP defect, RIP defect, and
fragment f looding.
Universal Plug-and-Play
(UPnP) Compatibility
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is
a technology that offers seamless
operation of voice messaging,
video messaging, games, and
other applications that are UPnP-
compliant.
USB/3g/Charge Ports
Your modem is equipped with two
USB ports. One on the side of the
modem for storage or for charging
USB devices such as mobile phones
or for plugging in a 3G device; the
second USB slot is situated in the
back of the modem for 3G USB
modems. The Storage port currently
supports FAT16/32 & NTFS USB Mass
Storage Devices. With a mass
storage device connected you can
easily share your files to anyone on
the network.
The ‘Charge’ port will supply a
maximum 5V 500mA. Connecting
a USB device which requires more
than 500mA may result in damage
to your equipment.
QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) limits the
traffic being sent from the modem
(upstream) when using VoIP at
the same time. If QoS is disabled,
the quality of the VoIP call can
suffer due to excessive traffic from
another source, such as a PC. When
QoS is enabled, it limits the upstream
traffic and sets it aside for VoIP,
increasing the call quality.
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you
can set the modem to act as a
virtual host for network address
translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using
a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested
service (or port number), the
modem can route the request to
the appropriate server (at another
internal IP address).This secures
your network from direct attack
by hackers, and provides more f
lexible management by allowing
you to change internal IP addresses
without affecting outside access to
your network.
Support for VPN Pass-Through
If you connect to your office
network from home using a VPN
connection, your modem will allow
your VPN-equipped computer to
pass through the modem and to
your office network. This modem
supports 1 VPN session at any one
time
Chapter 2 : Product Overview

Page 7
This modem supports three of the
most commonly used VPN protocols
– PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN
protocols supported by the modem
are brief ly described below.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol –
Provides a secure tunnel for remote
client access to a PPTP security
gateway. PPTP includes provisions
for call origination and flow control
required by ISPs.
L2TP merges the best features
of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP, L2TP
requires that the ISP’s modems
support the protocol.
IP Security – Provides IP network-
layer encryption. IPSec can
support large encryption networks
(such as the Internet) by using
digital certificates for device
authentication.
Wired & Wireless LAN
The modem provides access for up
to 4 by 10/100 Mbps wired devices
and up to an additional 32 wireless
devices, making it easy to create a
network in small offices or homes.
802 11b, 802 11g & 802 11n wireless
standards are supported.
Computer Filter Rule
For added security, you can set
up a list of MAC addresses (unique
client identifiers) that are allowed
access to your network Every
computer has its own MAC address.
Simply enter these MAC addresses
into a list using the web-based user
interface and you can control
access to your network.
WEP, WPA and WPA 2
Encryption protocols
The modem features WPA2, which
is the second generation of the
WPA-based 802 11i standard. It
offers a higher level of wireless
security by combining advanced
network authentication and
stronger Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) encryption methods.
It also supports the legacy security
standard called Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) in order to allow you
to activate security with any legacy
devices you may have on your
network.
VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
adds the ability to manage multiple
networks with the one modem. The
modem is designed to be placed
on a desktop. All of the cables exit
from the rear of the modem for
better organisation and utility. The
LED indicators are easily visible on
the front of the modem to provide
you with information about network
activity and status.
