NetComm NB5PLUS4 User manual

Faster and greater reach
NetComm delivers access to the Next Generation of ADSL technology in ADSL2.
ADSL2/2+ boosts broadband internet performance, improves interoperability, and
supports new applications, services and deployment conditions.
NetComm’s support of ADSL2/2+ ensures that the NB5Plus4 operates with
existing ADSL services while delivering optimal performance in all modes of
operation. Powered by the latest ADSL2/2+ Texas Instruments (TI) chipset,
NetComm’s NB5Plus4 increases downstream data rates by up to 50% (12Mbps)
and 100% (24Mbps) for the 2+ mode ensuring that you can surf the net or
download your files quicker than ever before.
Advanced security firewall & VPN pass-through
Security is a key issue with Broadband users and NetComm’s NB5Plus4 does
not leave you exposed. Employing the latest Active Firewall technology, the
NB5Plus4 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 NB5Plus4 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 and easy to connect
The NB5Plus4 delivers the connection versatility needed to cater for today’s
ADSL users. You can simply attach the NB5Plus4 to a single PC by using the
USB port. Alternatively, should you wish to share your Internet connection with
up to 253 users, the NB5Plus4 is equipped with an in-built Router and four
10/100 Ethernet ports for connection to a network system.
Port forwarding, Universal Plug & Play and QoS
The NB5Plus4’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 NB5Plus4 has a number of pre-
configured rules for several online games – just click on the game you wish to
play and the rest is done for you.
Also, the NB5Plus4 introduces a QoS (Quality of Service) feature that gives you
control over which types of outgoing data are given priority by the Router. For
example, you can give data priority to voice packets, making the NB5Plus4 ideal
for use with VoIP.
* Your ISP must support and provide you with an ADSL2 or ADSL2+ service for these features to be available. This
product will operate as a standard ADSL Modem Router when an ADSL2 service is not available.
