Do not use or install this product near water to avoid fire or shock hazard. For example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, laundry tub, or near a swimming pool. Also, do not expose the equipment to rain or damp areas (e.g. a wet basement). Do not connect the power supply cord on elevated surfaces. Allow it to lie freely. There should be no obstructions in its path and no heavy items should be placed on the cord. In addition, do not walk on, step on or mistreat the cord. To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all openings in the unit that offer exposure to air are unobstructed. WARNING Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing. Transport and Handling When transporting the 4GM3W, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures the product will not be damaged. In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent damage during courier transport. www.netcommwireless.com NetComm Wireless 4GM3W User Guide 10 Installation and Configuration of the 4GM3W Placement of your 4GM3W The wireless connection between your 4GM3W and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your 4GM3W. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your 4GM3W 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 networks performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between three to five meters from the 4GM3W in order to see if distance is the problem. 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 4GM3W, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the 4GM3W on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing the 4GM3W on an upper floor. Try not to place the 4GM3W near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the 4GM3W
(2.4GHz). Avoid obstacles and interference Avoid placing your 4GM3W 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 signals path (between your devices and the 4GM3W). 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 4GM3W and your wireless-enabled computers. Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturers information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the 4GM3W. 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 4GM3W to channel 11. See your phones 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 adapters user manual), and switch your Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible. Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

Click on any of the menu items on the left to access the respective settings page. Forwarding rules are a necessary feature as by default NAT (Network Address Translation) will automatically block incoming traffic from the Internet to the LAN unless a specific port mapping exists in the NAT translation table. Because of this, NAT provides a level of protection for computers that are connected to your LAN. However this also creates a connectivity problem when you want to make LAN resources available to Internet clients. For example, to play network games or host network applications. There are three ways to work around NAT and to enable certain LAN resources available from the Internet:
Port Forwarding (available in the Virtual Server page) Port Triggering (available in the Special AP page) DMZ Host (available in the Miscellaneous page) Virtual Server A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP. Virtual Servers can also work with Scheduling Rules, and give you more flexibility on Access control. Please note: For further instructions on scheduling rules, please refer to the Scheduling section later in this guide NetComm Wireless 4GM3W User Guide 33 www.netcommwireless.com For example, if you have an FTP server (the default port is 21) at 192.168.20.10, a Web server (the default port is 80) at 192.168.20.40, and a VPN server (the default port is 1723) at 192.168.20.60, then you would need to specify the following virtual server mappings:
Please note: At any given time, only one IP address can bind to a particular Service Port. SERVICE PORT 21 80 1723 SERVER IP ENABLE 12.168.1.10 192.168.20.40 192.168.20.60

The ultimate goal of QoS is to guarantee that the network delivers predictable results for availability, throughput, latency and error rate. QoS is especially important in ensuring the smooth operation of real-time streaming applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP), IPTV and online games. As part of a strategy to provide Quality of Service, the 4GM3W supports Type of Service (ToS), the Differentiated Services
(DiffServ) architecture and IEEE P802.1p priority tags (specified in the IEEE 802.1Q standard). DiffServ is a mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic by marking each packet on the network with a Differentiated Services Code Point
(DSCP) which is a field in an IP packet used for classification purposes and operates at the IP layer. The 4GM3W also supports 802.1p priority tags which operate at the media access control (MAC) level. ToS, like DSCP, is a field in the header of IP packets that marks packets with different types of service such as minimize delay, maximize throughput, maximize reliability, minimize cost or normal service. OPTION QoS WAN Interface QoS Mode Bandwidth of Upstream Bandwidth of Downstream Flexible Bandwidth Management DEFINITION Use the drop down list to Enable or Disable QoS. Use the drop down list to select the interface to which QoS should apply. Use the drop down list to select the type of QoS to apply. Smart-QoS lets the router decide on the best settings based on the types of service you select below and the percentage setting assigned to each type of service. Higher percentages give a higher quality of service for that service type. Enter the upstream bandwidth in Kilobits per second of your connection so that the router can calculate the best QoS settings. Enter the downstream bandwidth in Kilobits per second of your connection so that the router can calculate the best QoS settings. In Smart-QoS mode, when Flexible Bandwidth Management is enabled, you are able to select certain types of traffic to prioritise. The bandwidth allocated to each type of traffic is automatically divided by the number of types selected, for example, if you select Game, VoIP and Video, the router reserves 10% of bandwidth for other types of traffic and splits the remaining 90% of bandwidth equally among the 3 selected types, allowing each type 30% of bandwidth when each type of traffic is concurrently in use. If, for example, only two types of that traffic are in use, the 30%
bandwidth allocated to the type of traffic not in use is re-distributed to other applications. When Flexible Bandwidth Management is disabled, you are able to manually specify the percentage of bandwidth to allocate to each type of traffic, however, you must still allow for 10% of bandwidth to be reserved for other types of traffic. NetComm Wireless 4GM3W User Guide 45 www.netcommwireless.com Basic QoS configuration To configure QoS:
configuration applies. 1. Set the QoS item to Enable. 2. The WAN Interface item displays the current WAN interface in use by the router and therefore to which interface the 5. 3. Use the QoS Mode drop down list to set the QoS mode to Smart-QoS. 4. In the Bandwidth of Upstream field, enter the total upstream bandwidth of your broadband connection in Kilobits per second. In the Bandwidth of Downstream field, enter the total downstream bandwidth of your broadband connection in Kilobits per second. 6. The Flexible Bandwidth Management option, when enabled, stipulates that you would like the router to manage the prioritisation of the selected traffic types on your behalf. When it is disabled, you have a greater degree of control by specifying a percentage of bandwidth that should be dedicated to a particular type of traffic. Choose whether you want it enabled or disabled and then select the types of traffic you want to give priority to. If you chose to disable flexible bandwidth management, in the Setting column you must also specify the percentage of bandwidth you wish to allocate for each type of traffic. Note: The Setting columns percentage figures must add up to 90%. The remaining 10% of bandwidth is reserved for other types of network traffic. Advanced QoS configuration To configure QoS:

When the Class field is set to TCPPORT, UDPPORT, MAC, TOS or VLANPRI, you are able to add a conjunction rule. Click the Add A Conjunction (AND) Rule button that appears at the bottom of the page to add a conjunction rule. OPTION DEFINITION Rule Class Class Info IP mask Protocol DiffServ CodePoint Service Type Type of Service Function Function data Direction Schedule And Rule Class And Rule Class Info Select to enable or disable the QoS rule. Select the class of traffic you would like to prioritise. This may be IP, TCP Port, UDP Port, MAC address, DSCP, ToS or VLAN Priority field. This field is only displayed when you select the Class field to be IP, TCPPORT, UDPPORT, MAC or VLANPRI. Enter the appropriate details for the class you have chosen e.g. an IP address, a TCP or UDP port number, a MAC address or a VLAN Priority flag. Only displayed when Class is set to IP. Enter the subnet mask of the IP address specified in the Class Info IP field. Use the drop down list to select the protocol to which the rule should apply. This may be TCP, UDP or ICMP. Use the drop down list to select the DiffServ CodePoint that will be marked in the header of IP packets. There are 7 IP Precedence classes which are used in Type of Service headers but are also backwards compatible with DiffServ routers. The IP Precedence codes mark priority traffic. Assured Forwarding (AF) marks are also available. AF marks assign a drop precedence to each packet which defines the likelihood that a packet is dropped if traffic exceeds the subscribed rate. The last type of code is the Expedited Forwarding (EF) code. Packets marked EF have the properties of low delay, low loss and low jitter. This makes EF packets desirable for real-time streaming services for voice and video. This field is only displayed when the Class field is set to DSCP. The Service Type field specifies the type of packets to which the rule should apply. Use the drop down list to select the service type. The TCP/UDP port numbers are listed in brackets after each item. The Type of Service field is only displayed when Class is set to TOS. Use the Type of Service drop down list to specify whether the QoS rule should minimize delay, maximize throughput, maximize reliability, minimize cost or just provide normal service. Select the function of the rule. You can select from Priority, Marking, Max Rate, Min Rate, Session, Drop, Log or Alert. This field changes depending on the selected function. When Function is set to PRI (Priority), the Function data field should contain a priority value from 1 to 6 with 1 being the highest priority. When Function is set to MARKING, the Function data field allows you to specify a DiffServ Code Point marking for the packets. When the Function field is set to MAXR (Max Rate) or MINR (Minimum Rate), the Function data field should contain a data transfer rate in either Kilobits per second (KBps) or Megabits per second (MBps). This represents the minimum or maximum rate that the packet should expect to achieve on the network. When the Function field is set to SESSION, the Function data field should contain an integer representing the maximum number of sessions. Select the direction of traffic to prioritise. Available options include In, Out or Both. Select a schedule for the new rule to apply. Previously created schedules are visible here or you can select the rule to always apply. This field is displayed only when you have selected to add a conjunction rule. A conjunction rule allows you to add a second set of criteria with which the packets will be marked. Use the drop down list to select a second class of traffic for the rule. The only classes that will show up are MAC, TCPPORT, UDPPORT, TOS or VLANPRI. This field is only displayed when you select to add a conjunction rule. Enter the appropriate details for the class you have chosen e.g. a MAC address, a TCP or UDP port number, a Type of Service or a VLAN Priority flag.
