Boostbox 

– Setup and Installation Guide V3.5 

Backhaul Protocol and Port Requirements (cont.) 

The pre-requisites for any access network technology to support Boostbox are as follows:  

Public internet access (or access to the public IP addresses used by the Boostbox 

– see next slide)  

The internet access gateway must be located in the UK. 

I

MPORTANT

: If none of your Boostbox units are able to connect then 

ask customer service to check the public IP range you have assigned isn’t barred. If it is barred then as long as it’s in the UK, 
we can add it to the approved list. 

DHCP capability for allocation of local IP address, default gateway and domain name servers to Boostbox CPE. 

NB

Boostbox CANNOT be configured with a static IP. 

Access to public DNS to resolve FQDN associated with Boostbox Cluster: 

 

 

 

 

(

initial-ipsecrouter.femto2.o2.co.uk, brick4-prod2.femto2.o2.co.uk, brick5-prod2.femto2.o2.co.uk, brick6-prod2.femto2.o2.co.uk)

  

Sufficient bandwidth in the uplink and downlink, taking into account the number of concurrent users, number of simultaneous 
voice & data calls, and other applications in use. A single Boostbox requires a minimum of 1Mb/s download and 0.5Mb/s 
upload. 

Any firewalls/routers must support ICMP, IPSec & NTP.  

Latency must not exceed 240ms 

 Additional Corporate LAN requirements/recommendations:   

Boostbox must be directly connected to external router or Boostbox traffic should be contained in a dedicated VLAN (802.1q) 
and must be prioritized across corporate LAN (802.1p) 

External router must support IP TOS (prioritization of Boostbox traffic).
