A
Overview
The V3 is a gateway/router with a TelePort™ VoIP phone port.
You use the V3 in conjunction with an Ethernet cable modem or
Ethernet ADSL modem to connect to the Internet. The
gateway/router provides an interface between the Internet and
your local area network (LAN). It also includes an advanced
firewall, which allows you to control Internet access from your
local network and which protects your local network from
unwanted Internet traffic. The TelePort lets you use an ordinary
telephone to make VoIP calls over the Internet and regular calls
through the familiar Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
This User Guide contains installation instructions and explains how
to configure the V3 for some popular applications. Most users
should go now to the next chapter, Installation Instructions.
Note:
If you are an Internet service provider, a VoI P service provider, or a system
administrator, additional information is available in the Technical Reference
Manual at
The Technical Reference manual includes information such as voice parameters
and dialing plan configurations.

If your computer has an available Ethernet jack, we recommend
that you use it instead of the USB jack. This will simplify
installation.

this jack should have a DSL phone filter installed on it. Phone
filters block the DSL frequencies so that someone making a
normal phone call won’t hear noise on the line. They also keep
phone conversations from interfering with DSL performance.

If you selected DSL PPPoA or DSL 1483:
To make the V3 work with DSL PPPoA or 1483, you will have
to configure your DSL modem. For PPPoA, you need to “pass
through” your DSL modem’s IP Address to the V3. For DSL
1483, you need to “turn off NAT.” NAT is a kind of firewall.
You will have to do this through your DSL modem
configuration software. Unfortunately there are many different
DSL modem manufacturers and each one handles this a little
bit differently, so we can’t give specific instructions for your
modem. You should find these settings in your DSL modem

Note:
Call forwarding works only for calls that arrive over VoIP. The V3
cannot forward calls from the PSTN. However, if you have VoIP
to PSTN service, you can forward VoIP calls from the V3 to the
PSTN.
The command sequence to control call management is simple. We
have included a sample table below. On your telephone keypad,
enter
# <Forward code> <Forward Number> #
The V3 will attempt to place a call to the Forward Number.
If someone answers within 15 seconds, the forwarding feature will
become active. If not, you need to re-enter the command:
# <Forward code> <Forward Number> #
Then the forwarding feature you have selected will become active.
You will hear a stutter dial tone while call forwarding is active.
Deactivating call forward from the keypad only deactivates the last
phone number programmed—that is, the currently active
forwarding function. It does not turn off the V3’s call forwarding
capability. This must be done from the V3’s

Find out which ports need to be opened for gaming.
Most peer-to-peer and multiplayer game manuals will tell you
exactly which port or ports need to be opened. If yours didn’t, you
may be able to look up the information at:

Different games require different numbers of ports to be open.
This can be a single port, or it can be a hundred ports or more.
Each required port needs to be set individually, so the more
ports that your game requires, the more time it will take to do
the configuration.

so you can’t set the ports.

There is a setting that opens all your ports for gaming

on the web site shown above, or if you have to open more than 20
ports (which is the maximum allowed by the V3), or if your game
documentation says that the game uses dynamic ports, or if you
don’t want to spend the time to open multiple ports, refer to the
DMZ instructions on page 44.
Warning!
Every time you open an additional port, it decreases the
effectiveness of your firewall, so the less ports you open the better.

3.5 Setting Up a DMZ
If you are playing a game or using an application that requires a
specific port or ports to be open
on setting up a Virtual Server. A virtual server can have a
maximum of 20 ports open.
If you need more than 20 ports open, or you don’t know which
ports to open (some games or applications like NetMeeting use
“dynamic” ports, meaning that the ports used by the game are
constantly changing, so it is not possible to set specific ports), you
have to set up what is called a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone).
To set up a DMZ, you need to make all four of the settings in the
chart below. You make these settings on the computer where you
set up the DMZ, no matter whether the computer is a Windows,
Macintosh, or Linux computer.
Important!
If your computer already has firewall software installed:
you have third-party firewall software installed on your
computer, such as the Windows XP firewall, you may need to
deactivate it before opening ports by setting up a virtual server or
a DMZ. If you don’t, your computer may block the ports you are
trying to open.
If you do not know how to deactivate the software, consult your
Windows Help or the documentation that came with your

Using the V3’s Advanced
Firewall
This chapter describes the V3’s advanced firewall and the types
of protection it offers. If you are like most users, you probably
will not need to modify your firewall settings. If, however, you
are an administrator or an expert user who wants to customize
the firewall to protect a network against specific threats, you
should refer to this chapter.
You can think of the firewall as playing a role like that of a guard at
the gate of an ancient walled city. The guard has a great scroll,
which lists allowed and proscribed traffic. In one possible set of
rules, visitors may enter only if they show an invitation from a
citizen of the city. Children may not leave the city. The guard may
allow entry of carts of flour, but only for delivery to the bakery.
Any messenger who doesn’t know the password to the city is
thrown in the moat, and can’t pass through the gate.
You may set the policies of your firewall, which is like writing the
rules on the great scroll in the example. The firewall will then
follow the rules, acting like the guard. Instead of controlling entry
and exit of goods and people, you control entry and exit of
particular types of IP packets. In general, you will want to do this
to prevent unwanted packets from entering your network (this is
the purpose of the wall in the first place).
50Zoom V3 User’s Guide
By default, the firewall will allow only those packets to enter that
you are likely to need; for example, in response to a request for a
web page, or as part of a VoIP call you make. You may want to
accept other, specific packets, perhaps to facilitate Internet gaming,
or because you want people outside your network to access a server
you have set up. You may want to prevent some users from
accessing the Internet at all.
To access the V3’s firewall settings, from the
page, click the
Firewall
button. (If you have exited from the V3

to page 15.)

Inspects so-called “trusted” IP addresses to ensure
legitimacy.
Prevents oversized ping packet fragments (totaling
more than 65,536 bytes) from getting through—
which cause the computer to hang or crash.
Guards against attackers who mimic source and
destination ports and IP addresses, causing infinite
loops and system crashes.
Ensures correct reassembly of datagrams—
prevents attackers from sending a continuous
stream of identical, invalid datagram fragments that
can cause system state problems.
Prevents attackers from flooding the system with
incomplete synchronizat ion connection requests,
which can exhaust server resources and cause
operating system crashes.
Keeps route information hidden, ensuring that ICMP
messages cannot be compromised, or forged, and
redirected to the attacker’s destination of choice.
Prevents attackers from illegally obtaining network
data by stipulating that data packets must follow
strict source routing.
Only applicable to Windows 95, NT, and 3.11
systems. Prevents OOB (out of band) data from
reaching an IP address, which can cause lost
connections and system crashes.

Internet traffic to increase security. Your V3 comes with three

Tip:
When setting up policies, it may help to think of inbound
and outbound policies as mirror images of each other. In
each case, the source and destination IP addresses, subnet
masks, and ports are reversed. That is, for an inbound policy,
the source address appears on the WAN side, and the
destination appears on the LAN side; for an outbound
policy, the source is on the LAN side and the destination is
on the WAN side.

4.3 Setting Up Firewall
Databases
The V3 includes options to set up databases of user information,
so you can create different combinations of user groups. Drawing
from these groups, or databases, you can then create and apply
certain inbound and outbound policies and restrict Internet traffic.
For example, if you don’t want your children accessing the Internet
during the day, you can set up a time group that blocks access from
8am to 5pm. For instructions on how to create inbound and
outbound policies, refer to the section above.
•

and assign a group name to them. That way, you can create a set of
inbound and outbound firewall policies pertaining to multiple
individuals simultaneously. For example, if you have a small office
and you don’t want certain computers (or users) to have Internet
access, you can set up an IP group that includes those computers
and then set up an outbound policy that blocks Internet access for
that IP group.

your service provider labeled (1) is the most commonly used
setting and should be tried first. The next most common is

Plug Multiple Phones Directly into
the V3
If you want more than one phone near the V3—in a small office,
for example—you can use standard telephone adapters to connect
multiple phones. These adapters are called T-adapters or 2-jack
modular adapters; many people use them to plug in their answering
machines. You can plug in as many phones as you’d like. (If you
plug multiple phones directly into the V3, just be sure that when
you add up all their Ringer Equivalence Numbers (RENs), the total
is 5 or lower. Virtually all phones show the REN somewhere. Most
phones have a REN that’s 1 or lower.)

You will have to precede your call by dialing a code for that

In some cases, there may not be a way to make direct VoIP
calls from your service to people subscribing to another VoIP
service. Check the web site, or email your provider.
When I try to make a VoIP call to a standard PSTN number,
the call doesn’t go through.
Make sure that:

You have signed up for PSTN service with your VoIP service
provider. Contact your provider’s customer support
department if necessary.

•
You are dialing according to the guidelines your service
provider gave you. Your provider’s web site should provide
instructions and examples. For instance, you may need to dial
local calls as though they were long distance. Or, you may need
to dial a call within your country as though you were calling
from outside the country—beginning with an international
prefix such as 00, followed by the country code, city code or
area code, and local number.
•
You aren’t taking too long between digits when you dial a
number. If you take a very long time, the V3 may register that
you have completed dialing before you are through. If this is a
possibility, hang up and try again.
When I pick up the phone, I don’t hear a dial tone.
For aV3 used normally, the dial tone you hear when you first pick
up your phone comes from the local phone company. Check that:
•
You have installed any phone adapters required for your
country.

If you have another phone jack for the same phone line, plug your

don’t, contact your local phone service provider. If you do, then
check that:
When some people call me, my Caller ID display doesn’t

ACTA. The unit bears a label on the back which contains among other information a
product identifier in the format US: AAAEQ## T XX XX. If requested, this number must be
provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following standard jack types for network connection: RJ11C.
This equipment contains an FCC compliant modular jack. It is designed to be connected to
the telephone network or premises wiring using compatible modular plugs and cabling
which comply with the requirements of FCC Part 68 rules.
The Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN, is used to determine the number of devices
which may be connected to the telephone line. An excessive REN may cause the equipment
to not ring in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all
equipment on a line should not exceed five (5.0).
In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company can temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company will try
to warn you in advance of any such disconnection, but if advance notice isn't practical, it
may disconnect the service first and notify you as soon as possible afterwards. In the event
such a disconnection is deemed necessary, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FC C .
From time to time, the telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, or
operations which could affect the operation of this equipment. If this occurs, the telephone
company is required to provide you with advance notice so you can make the modifications
necessary to obtain uninterrupted service.
There are no user serviceable components within this equipment. See Warranty flyer for
repair or warranty information.

electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile unless such message clearly
contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of
the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other
entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine
or of such business, other entity, or individual. The telephone number provided may not be
a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long distance
transmission charges. Telephone facsimile machines manufactured on and after December
20, 1992, must clearly mark such identifying information on each transmitted message.
