Product Overview 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 VoIP Router 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 VoIP Router 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 flexible 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 VoIP Router supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols - PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN protocols supported by the VoIP Router are briefly 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 routers 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. 4 Product Overview Belkin Broadband Voice Modem with Wireless Router - 4 Port 1 Part # F1PI242EGau (Wireless) 2 Has all the features above but also has: 3 Wired & Wireless LAN 4 The VoIP Router provides access for up to 4 by 10/100 Mbps wired devices and up to an additional 32 5 wireless devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes. 6 Tomizone Hotspot A public hotspot is a feature that you can enable to share your 7 broadband connection securely and make money. When enabled, this additional Wireless Signal is available for devices to connect to the Internet. Users either pay or get free access away from your internal network with all billing done by Tomizone. MAC Address Filtering 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 Router 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 in your network. VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) adds the ability to manage multiple networks with the one modem. 5 section
