• Codecs - G.711, G.729
• Quality of Service
B
ANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS
The BROADBAND MODULE and BROADBAND MODULE PLUS support two different codecs,
each with different bandwidth requirements. In addition to the bandwidth used by a codec, there
is also an overhead imposed by the various protocols used in transporting the IP packets as well
as signalling. When this is taken into account, the actual bandwidth required for each codec
increases significantly.
In order to ensure good voice quality, it is recommended that the following bandwidth is
available on the broadband connection for IP trunks and extensions

Codec IP Trunk or Extension
G.711 100 kb/s
G.729 50 kb/s
NUMBER OF VOIP CHANNELS
The following chart shows the bandwidth required to support up to 12 VoIP channels. When
calculating the number of VoIP channels that can be used over ADSL, always use the lower
(upload) data rate. Note that data applications for browsing etc., will require additional
bandwidth.

Security Level
There are four pre-defined security levels (high, medium, low and none) that contain different
security filters for each interface (WAN/LAN, WAN/DMZ, DMZ/LAN). When None is selected, all
traffic is blocked. Additional filters can be added to each security level as required.
The default setting is High Security Level.
The Medium Security level has additional filters. For example it is set up to allow access to a web
server or a mail server on the DMZ from the External interface.
The Low Security level adds more filters. For example, as well as allowing access to a web server
or a mail server on the DMZ, it also allows Telnet and FTP access from the External interface.

Security Policy
Three types of filters can be defined in the firewall:
Port Filters are used to allow or block a specific TCP/IP application level protocol. The
parameters used to specify this filter are source and destination IP address or range of
addresses, a transport level protocol TCP/UDP/ICMP), and a port or range of ports which define
the application level protocol.
Raw IP Filters are used to allow or block a specific protocol (non TCP/IP) carried within an IP
packet. The parameters used to specify this filter are source and destination IP address or range
of addresses, and a protocol number which identifies the protocol carried in the IP packet.
Host Validators are used to block all traffic from a specific host. The parameter used to specify
this filter are an IP address or range of addresses.
Note that if invalid filter entries are added, an error message will be displayed when the
configuration is saved.

Application Level Gateways
There are certain applications that NAT and Firewall configurations cannot manage. In many
cases, ALGs (Application Level Gateways) are needed to translate and transport packets
correctly. An ALG provides a service for a specific application such as FTP (File Transfer
Protocol). Incoming packets are checked against existing NAT rules or Firewall filters, IP
addresses are evaluated and detailed packet analysis is performed. If necessary, the content of a
packet is modified, and if a secondary port is required, the ALG will open one. The ALG for each
application does not require any configuration.
ALG support is provided for the following applications. If support is required for additional
applications, security triggers can be configured for these.
Application TCP Port UDP Port
AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) 5190 N/A
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) 21 N/A
IKE (Internet Key Exchange) N/A 500
ILS (Internet Locator Service) 389 (+1002) N/A

Security Trigger
A security trigger can be defined for applications that are not supported by the ALGs listed
above. A security trigger allows the firewall to dynamically open and close secondary ports

remains open.

Backup Telephone Number If the ISP provides a secondary telephone number for Internet
access in case the primary number is unavailable, it can be
entered here.
Number of Retries If the first attempt to establish an ISDN connection is
unsuccessful, the module automatically redials the number. The
user configures the number of times the number is redialled
within the range 1 - 255. The default setting is 30 retries. The
number of retries applies first to the main telephone number and
then to the backup telephone number if it is enabled. If a
connection cannot be established on the backup number after the
last retry, no further attempt is made to establish a connection.
No limit is placed on the number of retries if ' 0' (zero) is specified
as the number of retries.
Retry Interval This defines the time interval between retry attempts and is
programmable within the range 5 - 60 seconds. The default
setting is 10 seconds.
Initial Period During an ISDN call a timer is set to disconnect the call if no data
is sent or received for a period of time.
Three timers are used:
The Initial Period defines the period from the start of the call to
the end of the initial billing period. This can be set by the user to
the initial billing period of the ISDN call. This information is
available from the service provider. The range is between 0 and
60 minutes. The default setting is 3 min.
Recurring Period The Recurring period defines the recurring billing period. The
range is between 0 and 60 minutes. This can be set by the user to
the recurring billing period of the ISDN call. This information is
available from the service provider. The range is 0 to 60 minutes.
The default setting is 3 min.
Idle Timer The Idle timer monitors the call for a period before the expiry of
the initial billing period and subsequent recurring periods. If no
data is present during the idle timer period, the call is
automatically disconnected at the end of that billing period. The
default setting is 30 secs and the range is 0 - 120 secs.
If the Initial Period and the Recurring Period are set to zero, no
cost control is applied and the call will always remain connected
BT Versatility
Broadband Module/Broadband Module Plus Manual
80
regardless of whether data is present or not until the call is
manually disconnected.
If the Initial Period is set to zero, and the Recurring period is set
to a non-zero value, then the call is only monitored for idle
periods during the Recurring Period.
If the Initial Period is set to a non-zero value, and the Recurring
Period is set to zero, then the call is only monitored for idle
periods during the Initial Period. If the call is still connected after
the Initial Period, it will remain connected until manually
disconnected.
Maximum Calls/day A call counter sets a threshold on the maximum number of ISDN
calls allowed per day. When this threshold is exceeded, ISDN is
disabled. This is designed to control the number of calls
inadvertently made by applications without the knowledge of the
user. The range is 0 -1000. When this is set to 0 (the default
setting), there is no limit on the number of calls that can be made.
The counter is automatically set to zero at midnight each day.
Auto Recovery On When enabled, the auto recovery timer becomes active.
Auto Recovery Timer A timer option is provided to automatically re-enable the ISDN
after the retry threshold is reached. The timer range is 1 - 120
minutes. The default setting is 30 minutes.
