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.

Configuration Methods
The BB005x can be configured and administered through the Web interface or
through the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Web Interface
The recommended and most efficient way to configure the BB005x
modem/router is by using a Web Browser to access the Web interface. Most
features and operation modes can be enabled through this interface. Chapter 3
of the manual contains step-by-step instructions on how to configure the
BB005x for some of the most popular ADSL configurations modes while using
the Web interface
7
BB005x Installation and Configuration Guide
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The BB005x can also be configured through the Command Line Interface (CLI),
accessible via Telnet or locally through the RS-232C serial port. This method is
only recommended when more complex features and settings are required. The
following paragraphs briefly describe how to initiate access to the CLI interface
of the BB005x. For detailed information regarding the available CLI commands
and their syntax, please contact your Internet Service Provider or please refer to
the CLI Reference Manual on the CD-ROM. .
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please use the CLI only when the intended operation
cannot be performed via the BB005x Web interface.
CLI access via Telnet
You can access the CLI interface via Telnet from a computer connected to the
local LAN by going through the following procedure:
You must set up the TCP/IP properties for your LAN card to be on the same
subnet as the BB005x (192.168.7.2 and 255.255.255.0).
Turn on the modem. From the MS-DOS prompt, telnet into the Ethernet port of
the BB005x by typing the word telnet followed by the IP address of the Ethernet
interface. Example: “telnet 198.168.7.1”
You will be prompted for the Login Name and the Password. Please type the
following for both the Login Name and the Password:
admin
The “Login Successful” message will appear followed by the BB005x prompt:
-->
You can begin to enter the CLI commands.
CLI Access via serial console port
You can also access the CLI interface from a computer or a terminal connected
to the serial console port of the BB005x through an RS-232C serial cable.
Turn on the modem. Open HyperTerminal (available with Windows systems) or
an equivalent terminal emulation application program. Select the appropriate
COM port and ensure that the COM port settings are: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, No Parity, No Flow Control
8
BB005x Installation and Configuration Guide
Turn on the modem. In the HyperTerminal window, press the Enter key a
couple of times until you are prompted to enter the Login Name and the
Password. Please type the following for both the Login Name and the Password:
admin
The “Login Successful” message will appear followed by the BB005x prompt:
-->
You can begin to enter the CLI commands.
Changing the settings of your computer.
In order to configure the BB005x or to access the Internet through the modem
after the configuration is complete, the network card in the user’s computer
must be configured with the appropriate settings. Those settings are mainly
related to whether the IP address of the network card will be set to a
predetermined value or if it is going to be obtained automatically every time the
computer connects to the network. The steps that need to be taken also depend
upon the operating system running on the computer.
Systems running Windows 95/98/Me
