BB005x Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 1: Introduction
General
Welcome to the Gnet BB005x series of high performance external Ethernet
ADSL Modem/Routers. The BB005x series includes two models: the BB0050
single port model and the BB0055 four port model. Both use GlobesapanVirata
chip-set technology and have a common set of features. Both models are ideal
for home or office installation, delivering high-speed connectivity,
comprehensive ADSL standards support and powerful network security
features.
Features Overview
The BB005x modem/routers are able to operate at speeds of up to 8Mbps
downstream and 1 Mbps upstream while supporting the T1.413, G992.1
(G.dmt) and G992.2 (G.lite) standards. Their advanced functionality includes:
•
Support for all major ATM based ADSL network protocols including RFC
1483 (MPoA) Bridging, RFC 1483 (MPoA) Routing, RFC 1577 (IPoA)
Routing, RFC 2516 (PPPoE) Routing and RFC 2364 (PPPoA) Routing
•
Software support for DHCP server/relay/client, NAT and PPPoE internal
client
•
Firewall capability with support for flexible security policies and intrusion
detection
•
Built in Application Layer Gateways (ALGs) and firewall triggers that
enable popular applications such as NetMeeting, FTP, VPN, etc. to
operate across NAT based network configurations
•
Easy configuration and administration through the Web interface or the
CLI interface using telnet or serial port access
•
Support for UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) standards when connected to
hosts running UPnP enabled operating systems
About this manual
Because of the commonality in features between BB0050 and BB0055, the
features and configuration procedures described in this manual apply to both
models. As such, except when explicitly stated otherwise, this document
describes the two units as one model: the BB005x.
