Page 3: Introduction
Introduction What is a Boostbox? A Boostbox is a small, low power 3G cell site for home or office locations. It provides both voice, text and data service. A Boostbox does not require any existing O2 coverage in the local area for it to work. This is because it generates its own 3G coverage signal and connects back into the O2 network via the internet. -
Page 4: Power Requirements
If your router or IT network has PoE* enabled then the ethernet connection will power the Boostbox. If you do not have PoE available, then you should use the supplied PoE injector. The unit cannot be powered from an AC power adaptor. -

Page 6: Backhaul Protocol And Port Requirements
• UDP port 500 (IPSec IKE) • UDP port 4500 (IPSec IKE NAT-Traversal) • UDP port 123 (NTP) Some routers do block IPSec by default - this can usually be overcome by activating "IPSec Pass through" Boostbox – Setup and Installation Guide V3.5... - Page 7 • The internet access gateway must be located in the UK. IMPORTANT: If none of your Boostbox units are able to connect then ask customer service to check the public IP range you have assigned isn’t barred. If it is barred then as long as it’s in the UK, we can add it to the approved list.

Page 9: Boostbox Message Flow
Local IP Address, a Local netmask, a default gateway and a public DNS IP Address. The Boostbox uses the IP Address of the public DNS to request the IP Address of the IPSec Router of the O2 network interface. Now the Boostbox can reach the Security Gateway (SeGW)/IPSec Router that will be the Tunnel Endpoint for the secure IP connection. -
Page 10: Bandwidth Requirements
Bandwidth Requirements The following two tables show the typical data speeds required to support Boostbox deployments. It should be noted that if you provide a completely separate connection for each unit, e.g. 2 standalone broadband lines for 2 units, then this classes as 2 separate installations of 1 unit NOT 1 installation of 2 units. -
Page 11: Positioning Of Boostbox Units
5mm spacing when wall mounting. When wall mounting, we would also recommend leaving a 0.5 metre gap between the top of the unit and the ceiling. The Metro Boostbox unit will typically be installed by our contractors. Where it is to be self installed we will provide guidance. -

Page 13: Hard Reset Procedure
Hard Reset Procedure If a Boostbox fails to initialise having switched the power off and on and with a known working internet connection, the following hard reset should be performed to see if it fixes the issue. IMPORTANT: This should only be tried once in any 24 hour period. In most cases, if this doesn’t work first time then there is something else wrong and you should contact customer service.
