will be able to connect to the internet and make Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone calls. The following
is a list of features that make BoBTM an ideal solution for your home or small office and will contain important
information on how to get what you want out of BoBTM, so please read carefully before setting him up.
Chapter 1 : Introduction
BoBTM 4 port integrated wireless router
Page 2
Product Overview
BoBTM - 4 port integrated wireless router, excluding
BoBTM handset
Compatibility with both PC’s and
Mac® Computers
The router supports a variety of networking
environments including Mac OS® 8.x, 9.x & v10.x, Linux®,
Windows® 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Vista. 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 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 router indicate which
functions are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance
whether your router 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 router 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.
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 router 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 router 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 f lood, UDP f looding, Tear Drop Attack,
ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment f looding.
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
Your router is equipped with two USB ports, Storage/
3g and Charge. The Storage/3g port currently supports
FAT16/32 & NTFS USB Mass Storage Devices. With a
mass storage device connected you can easily share
your files to anyone on the network.
Future planned firmware upgrades will allow the router
to support 3g USB wireless adapters as a backup if your
ADSL connection is down. For more information on this
feature and a list of support USB adapters, visit http://
www belkin com au/support
Chapter 2 : Product Overview
About BoBTM 4 port integrated wireless router
Page 3
The ‘Charge’ port on your router is dedicated to
charging USB powered devices, such as mobile phones,
iPods, etc. The charge port will supply a maximum 5V
500mA. Connecting a USB device which requires more
than 500mA may result in damage to your equipment.
QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) limits the traffic being sent
from the router (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 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 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
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, your router will allow your VPNequipped computer to pass through the router and to
your office network. This router supports 1 VPN session
at any one time
This router supports three of the most commonly
used VPN protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The
VPN protocols supported by the router are brief ly
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.
Wired & Wireless LAN
The 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. 802 11b, 802 11g & 802 11n wireless
standards are supported.
•
•
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 on your network.
VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) adds the ability to
manage multiple networks with the one router. The
router is designed to be placed on a desktop. All of
the cables exit from the rear of the router for better
organisation and utility. The LED indicators are easily
visible on the front of the router to provide you with
information about network activity and status.
BoBTM Handset
The BoBTM handset is an optional device which slots
into the front of the BoBTM router and allows you to
make voice calls (including VoIP where available).
The BoBTM router can support up to 5 DECT-compatible
handsets and the handset cradle also functions as a
charger for the BoBTM handset when it is not in use.

Step 1. Find a suitable location
Your BoBTM - 4 port integrated wireless router can be
positioned at any convenient location in your office
or home where there is easy access to a phone jack
and power point nearby. No special wiring or cooling
requirements are needed and there is no necessity to
keep the unit connected directly to a computer.
You should, however, comply with the following
guidelines:
Keep the router away from any heating devices
Do not place the router in a dusty or wet
environment
You should also remember to turn off the power,
remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep
your hands dry when you install the router.
Step 2. Connect the ADSL Line
Phone line configuration
Run a standard telephone cable from the wall jack
providing ADSL service to the RJ-11 (‘ADSL’) port on
your router. When inserting an ADSL RJ-11 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure
that it is properly seated. If you are using a splitter
less ADSL service, be sure you add low-pass filters
between the ADSL wall jack and your telephones
(these filters pass voice signals through but filter data
signals out).
If more than 4 connections of any kind (i e faxes,
phones, modems etc) are to be used you will need to
get a central splitter.
Step 3. Attach to your network
using Ethernet cabling
The LAN ports on the router auto-negotiates the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps
Fast Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to
half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cabling to connect any of the LAN
ports on the router to an Ethernet adapter on your
PC. Otherwise, cascade the LAN port on the router
to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your
PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch.
When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab
on the connector clicks into position to ensure that it
is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an
RJ-45 port. This may damage the router. Instead, use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform to Australian standards.
•
•
Step 4. Connect the power
adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on
the rear panel of the router, and the other end into a
power outlet.
Check the power indicator on the front panel
is lit. If the power indicator is not lit, refer to
‘Troubleshooting’.
In case of a power failure, the router will automatically
restart and begin to operate once the power is
restored.
At this time we have now completed connecting the
router and may now move to the actual configuration
of your connection.
*Time needed to obtain line sync will vary depending
on various factors such as line noise and attempted
sync speed.
Notes:
Use 100-ohm shielded
or unshielded twisted-
pair cable with RJ-45
connectors for all
Ethernet ports. Use
Category 3, 4, or 5
for connections that
operate at 10 Mbps,
and Category 5 for
connections that
operate at 100 Mbps.

ATM PVC
Clone MAC
•
•
Note:
If you check ‘Enabled’
and specify an IP address
of 0.0.0.0, any host can
manage the router.
For remote
management via a WAN
IP address you need
to connect using port
8080.Simply enter WAN
IP address followed by
:8080 in the address
field of your web
browser, for example,
http://212.120.68.20:8080.
This applies unless you
change the port setting,
in which case you need
to substitute the 8080
for whatever port you
have assigned.

ATM Interface
Clicking on the ATM VC brings up the following screen. The router uses ATM as its WAN interface. Protocols
including 1483 Routing, 1483 Bridging, MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER), PPPoA and PPPoE with LLC-SNAP and VCMUX encapsulations are supported for each ATM PVC.
When you have finished entering your connection parameters, click ‘SAVE SETTINGS’. You can verify that you
have established an ADSL connection by clicking ‘Status’ at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
See below for a description of the parameters.
Parameter Description
Protocol
Disable: Disables the connection
1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer
2 technology. It is typically used in corporate
networks to extend the physical reach of a single
LAN segment and increase the number of stations
on a LAN without compromising performance.
Bridged data is encapsulated using the RFC1483
protocol to enable data transport. Please note
that setting the router to bridged mode disables
all advanced features such as VoIP, Firewall, and
QoS, etc
PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a
method of encapsulating data for transmission to
a far point
1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-cost
connection to the Internet via a standard Ethernet
port. The router looks up the network address for
each packet seen on the LAN port. If the address
is listed in the routing table as local, it is filtered.
If the address is listed under the ADSL port, it is
forwarded. Or if the address is not found, then it is
automatically forwarded to the default router (i.e.,
the router at the head end)

PPPoE: Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a common
connection method used for xDSL
MAC Encapsulated Routing: If your ADSL service
is a Bridged mode service and you want to share
the connection to multiple PC’s, please select MAC
Encapsulated Routing. MER is a protocol that allows
you to do IP routing with NAT enabled
VPI/VCI
Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI). Data flows are broken up into fixed
length cells, each of which contains a Virtual Path
Identifier (VPI) that identifies the path between
two nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that
identifies the data channel within that virtual path.
Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of cells
between the two end points. When there is no data
to transmit, empty cells are sent. When data needs
to be transmitted, it is immediately inserted into the
cell flows.

Encapsulation
Shows the packet encapsulation type.
Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle
multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.
VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual
Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only
one protocol running per virtual circuit with less
overhead
LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link
Control allows multiple protocols running over one
virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead)
QoS Class
ATM QoS classes including CBR, UBR and VBR.
PCR/SCR/MBS
QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR
(Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size)
are configurable.
•
•
Connect Type
Sets connection mode to always connected,
automatic or manual connection.
Idle Time: Enter the maximum idle time for the
Internet connection.(in minutes) After this time has
been exceeded the connection will be terminated.
Username: Enter user name
Password: Enter password
Confirm password: Confirm Password
MTU
Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) at the
default value (1500) unless you have a particular
reason to change it.

Clone MAC Address
Clicking on the Clone MAC Address brings up the following screen.
Some ISPs may require that you register your MAC address with them. If this is the case, the MAC address of the
router must be changed manually to the MAC address that you have registered with your ISP.

LAN
Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address
allocation.
Parameter Description
LAN IP
IP Address: The IP address of the router
IP Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the router
Host Name: If your ISP requires a hostname specified
enter it here, otherwise leave blank
DHCP Server: To dynamically assign an IP address to
client PCs, enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) Server
VLAN Binding
In this section you can assign VLAN’s that you have
created in the VLAN page to certain ports such as
LAN port 1, 2, 3 or 4 and the WLAN connection. For
instance if you have created a VLAN Binding called
‘Test’, and you want anything connected to the
wireless to be on that VLAN, then you would change
the WLAN setting on this page from ‘Default’ to the
one you created called ‘Test’.
DHCP SERVER
DHCP Option 60 Vendor ID: If you wish you can
specify the Name of your DHCP Server (Optional).
Lease Time: Specify the length of time that the
DHCP will assign an IP address to a computer for.
IP Address Pool
Start IP: Specify the start IP address of the DHCP pool
Do not include the gateway address of the router in
the client address pool (see ‘TCP/IP
Configuration’). If you attempt to include the router
gateway address (10.1.1.1 by default) in the DHCP pool,
an error dialog box will appear. If you change the pool
range, make sure the f irst three octets match the
gateway’s IP address, i.e.10.1.1.xxx
End IP: Specify the end IP address of the DHCP pool.
Domain Name: If your network uses a domain name,
enter it here. Otherwise, leave this field blank

VLAN
VLAN Table: In this table you can click on the ‘ADD VLAN’ button to add a ‘VLAN’ binding or click on ‘EDIT’ to edit
an existing binding, or click on ‘DELETE’ to remove a binding.
VLAN Profile: This screen will appear if you click on
‘ADD VLAN’ or ‘EDIT’ from the VLAN page.
Description: detailed description of the VLAN.
IP Address: IP address of the VLAN virtual interface
on the gateway.
Subnet Mask: subnet mask of the VLAN virtual
interface.
NAT Domain: NAT addressing domain to define the
NAPT operation of the VLAN virtual interface. Public
means that this VLAN will be visible to the Internet.
Private means NAT is enabled to protect the subnet
from visibility to the Internet.
IGMP Snooping: enable/disable the feature to block
unnecessary IP multicast traffic f looding among VLAN
ports without the specific multicast membership. This
feature is working based on snooping IGMP Join/
Leave messages among the VLAN ports to update
the bridging forwarding database. IGMP Snooping
is extremely useful in saving bandwidth of flowspeed interfaces (ex WLAN) to improve the network
utilization.
IGMP Querier: enable/disable IGMP querying to
the VLAN virtual interface. The option is to control
whether to behave as an IGMP querier on the VLAN
bridging network If IGMP Querier option is disabled,
the router will act as an IP multicast compliant host
and send IGMP reports for its own joined IP multicast
groups.No IGMP query messages will be sent to the
specific VLAN.

VLAN Access Control:
In this table you can enable or disable the communication between the VLAN bindings by ticking (enable) or
un-ticking (disable) the corresponding name in the table.
The DHCP Clients List displays the IP Address, Host Name and MAC Address of each client that has requested an
IP address since the last reboot of the Router. Check the ‘Fix’ box to have the IP address and the MAC address
linked so that the IP address will always be assigned as it is on this screen.
Wireless
The router also operates as a wireless access point,
allowing wireless computers to communicate with
each other. To configure this function, you need to
enable the wireless function, and you may also setup
the security options if needed.
