Installation and Configuration of
the NF1ADV
Placement of your NF1ADV
The wireless connection between your NF1ADV and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to
your NF1ADV. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your NF1ADV and connected
devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the NF1ADV in order to see if distance is the problem.
Please note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless
network from functioning. If you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this
checklist may help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NF1ADV, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the NF1ADV on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may
mean placing the NF1ADV on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NF1ADV near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NF1ADV
(2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NF1ADV near devices that may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
Refrigerators.
Washers and/or dryers.
Metal cabinets.
Large aquariums.
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows.
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking
the signal’s path (between your wireless devices and the NF1ADV).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your NF1ADV and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NF1ADV.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NF1ADV to channel 11. See your phone’s user
manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible. Alternately try using a different wireless band.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels and bands, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference
from neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

The option to provide wireless Internet access only to clients who are operating at 802.11n
speeds.
RIFS Advertisement
Reduced Inter Frame Spacing (RIFS) is a required 802.11n feature that improves
performance by reducing the amount of dead time required between transmissions. We
recommend this option Off unless your network administrator advises otherwise.
OBSS Co-Existence
Overlapping Basic Service Sets (OBSS) co-existence provides a method for basic service
sets to share a single frequency.
Rx Chain Power Save
This option provides a means to save power on the receiving wireless signal.
Rx Chain Power Save Quiet
Time
The time interval before Rx Chain Power Save is implemented.
54g Rate
In Auto (default) mode, your Router uses the maximum data rate and lowers the data rate
dependent on the signal strength. The appropriate setting is dependent on signal strength.
Other rates are discrete values between 1 to 54 Mbps.
Multicast rate
Setting for multicast packet transmission rate. (1-54 Mbps).
Basic Rate
Sets basic transmission rate.
Fragmentation Threshold
A threshold (in bytes) determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size.
Packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold of an 802.11 WLAN will be split into smaller
units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold
value however are not fragmented.
Values between 256 and 2346 can be entered but should remain at a default setting of 2346.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold
Request To Send (RTS) specifies the packet size that exceeds the specified RTS threshold,
which then triggers the RTS/CTS mechanism. Smaller packets are sent without using
RTS/CTS. The default setting of 2347 (max length) will disables the RTS Threshold.
DTIM Interval
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is also known as Beacon Rate. The entry range is
a value between 1 and 65535. A DTIM is a countdown variable that informs clients of the
next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages. The default value is 1.
Beacon Interval
The amount of time between beacon transmissions in is milliseconds. The default is 100 ms
and the acceptable range is 1 – 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the presence of an
access point. By default, network devices passively scan all RF channels listening for
beacons coming from access points. Before a station enters power save mode, the station
needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon.
Global Max Clients
Here you have the option of setting the limit of the number of clients who can connect to your
wireless network.

default value is disabled.
Transmit Power
The option of decreasing the transmitting power of your wireless signal
WMM (WiFi Multimedia)
WMM is a standard created to define quality of service (QoS) in WiFi networks. WMM adds
prioritized capabilities to WiFi networks and optimizes their performance when multiple
concurring applications, each with different latency and throughput requirements, compete
for network resources.
WMM No Acknowledgement
WMM No Acknowledgement gives you the option of whether to send acknowledgement
frames with WMM data packets.

Egress Gain
The outgoing signal amplitude can be controlled with this field. Combined with the Ingress gain a ratio can be
expressed of input to output. The Egress Gain setting can help improve the quality of the VoIP line, and can
influence call volumes and help eliminate echoes.
Table 15: VoIP - Debug Settings
Adjusting Call Quality with the Ingress/Egress Gain Settings
If your call quality is poor with heavy echo and lag times try setting the Ingress Gain value to less than 0. With less ingress the sound
volume will be lower but should reduce line echo. The optimum quality to try to attain is clarity of audio signal both incoming and
outgoing, with good call volume and little perceived echo or distortion. However the values to use will vary and are dependent on
network bandwidth, associated hardware and software codecs used.
Carry out test call trials starting with both the Ingress and Egress Gain set to about –10. Values of -1 to -11 should provide
a clear audio stream with low echo and distortion.
Continue to lower the value one setting at a time, using increments of two or three.
Make test calls until the echo is moderated.

IPv6 LAN Application
Enable IPv6 DHCP server
Stateless address
autoconfiguration
IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to a routed IPv6 network using Internet
Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) router discovery messages. This type of configuration is suitable
for small organizations and individuals. It allows each host to determine its address from the contents of
received user advertisements. It makes use of the IEEE EUI-64 standard to define the network ID portion of the
address.
Stateful Address Configuration
This configuration requires some human intervention as it makes use of the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) for installation and administration of nodes over a network. The DHCPv6 server
maintains a list of nodes and the information about their state to know the availability of each IP address from
the range specified by the network administrator.
Enable RADVD
The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is an open-source software product that implements link-local
advertisements of IPv6 router addresses and IPv6 routing prefixes using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
as specified in RFC 2461. The Router Advertisement Daemon is used by system administrators in stateless
auto-configuration methods of network hosts on Internet Protocol version 6 networks.
When IPv6 hosts configure their network interfaces, they broadcast router solicitation (RS) requests onto the
network to discover available routers. The radvd software answers requests with router advertisement (RA)
messages. In addition, radvd periodically broadcasts RA packets to the attached link to update network hosts.
The router advertisement messages contain the routing prefix used on the link, the link maximum transmission
unit (MTU), and the address of the responsible default router.

Multicast – IGMP Configuration
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IP networks
to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP is a protocol only used on the network between a host and the router. It allows a

FIELD
DEFINITION
Default Version
The version IGMP in use by the router.
Query Interval
The hosts on the segment report their group membership in response to the router’s queries. The query interval
timer is also used to define the amount of time a router will store particular IGMP state if it does not hear any
reports on the group. The query interval is the time in seconds between queries sent from the router to IGMP
hosts.
Query Response Interval
When a host receives the query packet, it starts counting to a random value, less the maximum response time.
When this timer expires, the host replies with a report, provided that no other host has responded yet. This
accomplishes two purposes:
a) Allows controlling the amount of IGMP reports sent during a time window.
b) Engages the report suppression feature, which permits a host to suppress its own report and conserve
bandwidth.
Last Member Query Interval
IGMP uses this value when router hears IGMP Leave report. This means that at least one host wants to leave
the group. After router receives the Leave report, it checks that the interface is not configured for IGMP
Immediate Leave (single-host on the segment) and if not, it sends out an out-of-sequence query.
Robustness Value
The robustness variable is a way of indicating how susceptible the subnet is to lost packets. IGMP can recover
from robustness variable minus 1 lost IGMP packets. You can also click the scroll arrows to select a new
setting. The robustness variable should be set to a value of 2 or greater. The default robustness variable value
is 2.
Maximum Multicast Groups
The maximum number of multicast groups that the router can control at any one time.
Maximum Multicast Data
Sources
The maximum number of data sources a multicast group can have.
Maximum Multicast Group
Members
The maximum number of hosts a multicast group can have.

from the highest level “Emergency” down to the lowest “Debugging” level and are stored in the router’s
SDRAM memory. When the log buffer is full the newest event will wrap up to the top of the log buffer
and overwrite the lowest event. By default the log level is “Debugging” which is the lowest critical level.
The log levels are defined as follows:
Emergency is the most serious event level whereas debugging is the least important. For instance if the
log level is set to debugging, all the events from the lowest debugging to the highest Emergency level
will be recorded. If the log level is set to Error level only error level logs will be able to be viewed.
Display
Allows you to select the log events and displays in the View System Log window. For events from
debugging level and above to the highest Emergency level.
Level
Allows you to select the logged events and display in the View system Log window, per log level.
Mode
Allows you to specify whether events should be stored in local memory, be sent to a remote system log
server or both simultaneously.
If remote mode is selected the view system log windows will not be able to display events saved to the
remote system log server. When either Remote mode or both mode are selected you will be prompted
for the system log server IP address and UDP port.

Using the NF1ADV to make and receive telephone calls
The NF1ADV provides circuit switched voice services via two telephony line interfaces offering the ability to make and receive
telephone calls via a regular analogue telephone using the local voice network.
Please note: Please refer to your mobile service provider for activation of your voice service and information about the call
charges that apply.
It’s important to note that the NF1ADV has two separate line interfaces that share a single outbound/inbound telephone line. This
means that handset(s) connected via one port will not be able to use the line at the same time as handsets connected via the other
port.
If a call is already in progress via the first port, the user on the handset(s) connected to the second port will receive a busy signal.
Incoming calls will ring and can be answered on either port, however once a call is answered from one port, handset(s) on the
second port will receive a busy signal.
Handset requirements
The NF1ADV allows you to make telephone calls over the VoIP network using a standard analogue telephone via the built in RJ-11
Phone ports and up to 4 cordless phones using the built in DECT module . Please refer to the documentation provided by the
manufacturer of your analogue or cordless telephone for assistance with the operation of your telephone handset.
Maximum REN Loading
Please note that each of the line interfaces on the NF1ADV is capable of supporting multiple analogue telephones connected via
splitters. The ringer equivalence number (REN) for each line is 5. Therefore, a maximum of 5 handsets each with a REN number of 1
can be connected to each line port.
Before you start make any phone call, make sure you checked the following:
1. You have a WAN connection to the internet.
2. Your NF1ADV is powered on and in running condition.
3. Your SIP settings have successfully registered to your VoIP provider’s network.
4. A working analogue telephone connected into either the Line 1 or Line 2 port.
5. You hear the dial tone and the Phone 1 or 2 LED on the front of your NF1ADV should light up after lifting the handset.
How to place a call
To make a call, simply lift the handset and dial the number following the instructions provided by your telephone handset
manufacturer.
How to receive a call
When an incoming call is received, both Line 1 and Line 2 lights will start flashing and any phones connected to the NF1ADV will
ring. Answer the telephone following the instructions provided by your telephone handset manufacturer to conduct the call.
Please note: If the call is answered from a telephone connected to Line 1, telephones connected to Line 2 will receive an
engaged tone for the duration of the call.
If there is no phone connected to the NF1ADV, all incoming calls will be transferred to Voicemail (if enabled on the device).
Answering an incoming call when on a call
Call waiting enables a 2nd incoming call to be received while you are on a call. To answer a call waiting call, perform a hook-flash
(briefly depressing the hook button). The incoming call should then be answered. Upon hanging up or performing another hookflash, you will be returned to the original telephone call.
Accessing voicemail
To access your voicemail, please dial *98 and follow the voice prompts.
