SPI Firewall

BoB Lite™ is equipped with a firewall that protects your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility

Universal Plug-and-Play is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messages, games 
and other applications that are UPnP-compatible.

USB/3G Charge Ports

BoB Lite™ has three USB ports. The first USB port on the right-hand side of the modem (labelled storage/charger) is 
for charging USB devices such as mobile phones, or for plugging in a USB hard drive. This port is not designed for a 
full Network Attached Service (NAS) storage function. It’s designed for backing up or sharing files around your home 
network. The storage port currently supports FATI6/32 and NTFS USB Mass Storage devices.
The second USB port (labelled 3g) is situated under the cover on the back of BoB Lite™. It’s designed for 3G USB 
modems. This port will supply a maximum of 5V 500mA. Connecting a third party USB device which requires more 
than 500mA of power for charging may result in damage to your equipment.
The third USB port is situated on the lower left-hand side of BoB Lite™ (labelled handset charge only) It’s a designated 
port for charging the BoB Lite™ handset and is not for any other devices.
    

Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) limits the traffic being sent from the modem (upstream) when using a Netphone service 
(VoiP) at the same time as your broadband connection. If QoS is disabled, the quality of the phone call can suffer due 
to excessive traffic from another source, such as a computer. When QoS is enabled, it limits the upstream traffic and 
sets it aside for phone calls, which will maintain call quality.

Virtual Server

If you have a static IP address, you can set BoB Lite™ up to act as a virtual host for Network Address Translation. 
Remote users access various services at your site using an unchanging IP address. Then, depending on the requested 
service (or port number), BoB Lite™ can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). 
This secures your connection from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible network management by 
allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
