NetComm NB5 User manual

FASTER AND GREATER REACH
NetComm brings you the Next Generation of ADSL technology with
ADSL-2*. ADSL-2* and 2+* boosts ADSL’s performance, improves
interoperability, and supports new applications, services and
deployment conditions.
NetComm’s implementation of ADSL-2* and ADSL-2+* ensures that
the NB5 operates with existing ADSL services while delivering
optimal performance in all modes of operation. Powered by the
latest ADSL-2* TI chipset, NetComm’s NB5 increases downstream
data rates by up to 50% (12Mbps) and 100% (25Mbps) for Plus
mode ensuring that you can surf the net or download your files
quicker than ever before.
With support for RE-ADSL-2* (Reach Extended), the NB5 caters for
those users who are outside the current range of an ADSL
exchange by providing greater reach of ISP services. NetComm’s
NB5 is truly there for your ADSL future.
ADVANCED SECURITY FIREWALL & VPN PASS-THROUGH
Security is a key issue with Broadband users and NetComm’s NB5
does not leave you exposed. Employing the latest Active Firewall
technology, the NB5 checks every packet of data that comes in,
ensuring your defenses are rock-solid against hackers,
unauthorised entries, probes and even Denial of Service attacks.
What’s more, the NB5 is equipped with a VPN pass-through feature
allowing you to use a standard VPN client for Point-to-Point
communication even while your Firewall is active.
VERSATILE & EASY TO CONNECT
The NB5 delivers the connection versatility needed to cater for
today’s ADSL users. You can simply attach the NB5 to a single PC
by using the USB port. Alternatively, should you wish to share your
Internet connection with up to 253 users, the NB5 is equipped with
an in-built Router and a 10/100 Ethernet port for connection to a
network system. Best of all, when your ADSL service is upgraded
to ADSL-2, you can upgrade your NB5 with a simple download.
PORT FORWARDING, UNIVERSAL PLUG & PLAY & QoS
The NB5’s Port Forwarding and UPnP functions have made it easier
for today’s Internet users to configure and setup the myriad of
Network Port Rules that Internet applications such as Online
Gaming, Peer-To-Peer file sharing and Messenger services need to
operate. The NB5 has a number of pre-configured rules for several
games – just click on the game you wish to play online and the rest
is done for you.
Added to this, the NB5 introduces a QoS (Quality of Service)
feature that gives you control over which types of outgoing data
are given priority by the Router. With QoS, you can tailor your
router settings to ensure that you can keep gaming or browsing
even though your upstream bandwidth may be saturated by
applications such as Peer-To-Peer file sharing.
* Your ISPmust support and provide you with an ADSL-2, ADSL-2+ or RE-
ADSL-2 service for these features to be available. This product will
operate as a standard ADSL Modem Router when an ADSL-2 service
is not available.
