DMZ Host Support

DMZ Host Support allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.

NAT IP Address Sharing

Your Modem employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet service account.

SPI Firewall

Your Modem is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:

IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment flooding.

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.

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.

Belkin Broadband Voice Modem/Router - 1 Port

Part # F1PI210ENau

Compatibility with both PC and Mac® Computers

The Modem supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS® 8.x, 9.x & v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 98SE, ME, NT, 2000 and XP and others. You 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 VoIP Router 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 the Modem indicate which functions are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Modem 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 the Modem 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) on-board makes for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated networking setup.

Belkin Broadband Voice Modem with Wireless Router - 4 port

Part # F1PI241EGau

Has all the features above but also has:

Wired & Wireless LAN

The VoIP Router provides access for up to 4 by 10/100 Mbps wired devices and up to an additional 32 wireless devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

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.

Product Overview

Belkin Broadband Voice Modem/Router - 4 Port

Part # F1PI241ENau

Has all the features above but also has:

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.

Built in 4 Port Wired LAN compatibility

The VoIP Router provides access for up to 4 by 10/100 Mbps wired devices making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

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.

VLAN

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) adds the ability to manage multiple networks with the one modem.

Recent Developments Even as streaming audio and video over the Internet became common, VoIP

quality was still sub-par. What, you may ask, is the reason for this? While it’s relatively easy to convert a song or even a video into IP-based packets and have it arrive in decent shape, the Internet was not designed as a twoway street, i.e., to support two-way communications as in your typical conversation. Early VoIP calls were much like walkie-talkie speech, halting and unsynchronized. A common trick was to let the other speaker know you had finished talking by ending your statement with the word “Over.” For example,

“How are you today? Over.” “Not too good, I think I’ve the flu. Are you busy? Over.”

This method was effective, but hardly conducive to a comfortable conversation! Therefore, substantial cost savings, although attractive, were not enough to make up for unacceptably poor call quality. Now, however, thanks to dedicated hardware processing and protocols like Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), VoIP can be as smooth as a session that uses the regular telephone network, greatly increasing its appeal.

Equally as important to VoIP’s recent surge has been the widespread adoption of broadband in both homes and businesses, which delivers the bandwidth required to come close to PSTN quality.

Features and Benefits

NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as Web, FTP, email, and Telnet) VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP) User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP compatible with all popular Internet applications.

VoIP Features and Benefits

Full Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) support Voice Activity Detection (VAD) conserves bandwidth Quality of Service (QoS) provides superior voice quality

Voice over IP (VoIP)

An Introduction

Using Voice over IP (VoIP), instead of making calls over the regular telephone network, calls are made over computer (IP) networks, either through your Internet Service Provider’s connection or through your local network. Calls made are generally cheaper than traditional calls.

The basic steps involved in VoIP include the conversion of an analog voice signal to digital, the encoding and then compression of the signal into Internet Protocol (IP) packets. The VoIP Router is equipped with a digital signal processor (DSP), which segments the voice signal into frames and stores them in voice packets. Using the industry standard codecs, G.711, G.723.3 and G.729, these packets are encoded. These IP packets are then transmitted in accordance with International Telecommunications Union specification SIP over the Internet to their destination where the process is reversed.

Advantages of Using VoIP

The main advantage of VoIP over the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is the ability to make low-cost calls over the IP network. One of the greatest benefits is cheaper long distance calls.

Past Problems

Internet-based telephony has been around for years but, until now, has not reached the mainstream market.

Products with a true cost-saving advantage over standard telephones do not have comparable call quality. Users experience a prolonged delay making conversation difficult.

Call-completion rates are very low due to firewalls and the use of Network Address Translation (NAT), which renders over 50% of residential computers unable to communicate with traditional VoIP software.

The user interface is complicated, and requires substantial configuration and technical skills.
