Overview
This chapter will give you an overview of the capabilities of BoB2
TM
.
BoB2
TM
- 4 port integrated wireless modem
Compatibility
BoB2
TM
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 BoB2
TM
indicate which functions are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether BoB2
TM
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 BoB2
TM
’s 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) makes for the easiest possible connection. The DHCP server will
assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated setup.
DMZ Host Support
DMZ Host Support allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when
Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.
NAT IP Address Sharing
BoB2
TM
employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP address assigned to you by iiNet. This saves
the cost of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet service account.
SPI Firewall
BoB2
TM
is equipped with a firewall that protects your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks.
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
BoB2
TM
has three USB ports.
The first USB port on the right hand side of the modem (labelled
storage/charger)
is for
charging USB devices such as mobile phones, or for plugging in a USB hard drive/thumb drive. This port is not designed
for a full Network Attached Service (NAS) storage function. It’s designed for backing up or sharing files around your
home network. The storage port currently supports FAT16/32 and NTFS USB Mass Storage Devices.
The second USB slot, (labelled 3G), is situated under the cover on the back of BoB2
TM
. It’s designed for 3G USB modems.
This port will supply a maximum 5V 500mA. Connecting a third party USB device which requires more than 500mA for
charging may result in damage to your equipment.

The third USB port is situated on the lower left hand side of BoB2
TM
(labelled handset charger only). It’s a designated
port for charging the BoB2
TM
handset and is not for any memory devices or third-party charging options.
QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) limits the traffic being sent from the modem (upstream) when using iiNet’s Netphone service
(VOIP) at the same time. If QoS is disabled, the quality of the phone 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 phone calls, which
will maintain call quality.
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set BoB2
TM
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), BoB2
TM
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, BoB2
TM
will allow your VPN-equipped
computer to pass through to your office network. BoB2
TM
supports one VPN session at any one time.
BoB2
TM
supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.
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 WPA2 Encryption protocols
BoB2
TM
features WPA2, a higher level of wireless security. It combines advanced network authentication and stronger
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption methods. It also supports the legacy security standard called Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 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. BoB2
TM
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.
