The ADSL standard my modem is using is -

There are various standards that BoB2

TM

can use to connect to the

Internet. You may have signed up to iiNet for ADSL2 or ADSL1. Here’s a brief description of each of the standards

that BoB2

TM

may be using. Automatic – the modem will determine the best speed to connect to the Internet

depending on your line quality and distance from the local telephone exchange.

•

G.992.1 (G.DMT) –

ADSL1 speed, usually the lowest speed offered by an ISP

•

G.992.3 (ADSL2) –

indicates your speed could be up to 12mbps

•

G.992.5(ADSL2+) -

indicates that your speed could be up to 22mbps

•

G.992.5_M(ADSL2+M)

- indicates you have access to faster upload speeds. It’s only offered in selected areas

and on selected plans.

My SIP sever is connected to which Australian state?

iiNet’s Netphone service means you can take advantage

of making affordable phone calls over your Internet connection. We use a SIP server so you can make calls on our

network. The example in Image 2 shows that

BoB2

TM

My primary netphone account is set up correctly?

If you’ve subscribed to Netphone and the service is ready to

go, you’ll see a ‘yes’ in this box.

9.

My secondary Netphone account is set up correctly?

Currently, secondary Netphone accounts are not

available. This box will say ‘no’ until we release this option.

What does the information on the home page mean?

On BoB2

TM

’s home page, you’ll see nine points listed. The following information explains what these points mean.

1.

You will either see ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in this box.

If ‘yes’ is displayed this means you

have an active ADSL line running and BoB2

TM

your ADSL line is not active or BoB2

TM

is not connected to your phone line.
