adapter this LED will be off.
Battery LED Definition:
Green LED: UPS AC power is working; UPS battery is also working well
Orange LED Only UPS AC power is working. Battery failure- need a new battery replacement
Orange LED: UPS AC power failure; UPS battery is working
Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling. Make sure that all connected devices are
turned on. On the front panel of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and LEDs are
lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.
Make sure that all other devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the
same telephone line as your BEC router have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket
(unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed
electrician), and that all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If the line filter is not correctly
installed and connected, it may cause problems to your connection or may result in frequent
disconnections.

CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Windows 98 / NT /2000 / XP / ME / 7 / Vista, Linux, Mac
OS, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly
or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any
attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically
from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interf ace it
may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause
problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own
decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check
your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be
installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the BEC 6300VNL. To configure other types of workstations,
please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.

With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that
group.
Dynamic Route: Select the RIP version from RIP1 or RIP2.
DHCPv4 Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration
at start-up from a server.
DHCPv4 Server: If set to Enabled, your BEC 6300VNL can assign IP addresses, default gateway and
DNS servers to the DHCP client.
If set to Disabled, the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to Relay, the BEC 6300VNL acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests
and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual,
remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set.
Start IP: This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
IP Pool Count: This field specifies the count of the IP address pool.
Lease Time: The current lease time of client.
Physical Ports: Select to determine if the DHCPv4 server is applicable to the specific port or ports. By
default, all ports can obtain local IP from DHCPv4 server.
DNS Relay Select Automatically obtained or Manually set (if selected. Please set the exactly
information). If you set Static IP in the ISP Connection Type field, then select Manually here and set
the specific DNS information.
Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the
DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to
the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Fixed Host

IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110.
MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED
When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below:
IPv6 parameters
The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter a static LAN IPv6 address. If you are not sure what to do
with this field, please leave it empty as if contains false information it could result in LAN devices not
being able to access other IPv6 device. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field
is empty.
MLD Snooping: Similar to IGMP Snooping, but applicable for IPv6.
DHCPv6 Server
There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful.
Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any)
configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate
its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information
(prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a
link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An
address is formed by combining the two. W hen using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure
anything on the client.
Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.)
In the stateful auto configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration
information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track
of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.
DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.
Page 59
Device Configuration /
Interface Setup
55
BEC 6300VNL User Manual
DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is
available.
Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN
are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a
combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised
by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses
and DNS information from DHCPv6 server.
Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the
prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.
End interface ID: enter the end interface ID.
Leased Time (hour): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to
clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.
Router Advertisement: Check to Enable or Disable the Issue Router Advertisement feature. This
feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix
information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We
suggest enabling this field.

WPS Settings
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature
greatly simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi network for a residential or an office setting. WPS
supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN
Method (Personal Information Number) & PBC Method (Push Button Configuration).
Use WPS: Enable this feature by choosing the ”YES” radio button.
WPS State: Display whether the WPS is configured or unconfigured.
WPS Mode: Select the mode which to start WPS, choose between PIN Code and PBC (Push Button).
Selecting Pin Code mode will require you to know the enrollee PIN code.
To future understand the two modes of configuration; please refer to the example of the Wi-Fi

Security Settings
Security Type: You can disable or enable wireless security for protecting wireless network. The
default type of wireless security is OPEN and to allow all wireless stations to communicate with the
access points without any data encryption.
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router
offers secure data encryption, known as WEP and WPA.
There are five alternatives to select from: WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and
Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK. If you require high security for transmissions, please select WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK.

Firewall
Your router includes a firewall for helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when
using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs
on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.

NAT
The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing
multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT
break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can
cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as
SIP phones are located behind a NAT. And NAT makes it difficult for systems behind a NAT to accept
incoming communications.
In this session, there are “VPN Passthrough”, “SIP ALG”, “DMZ” and “Virtual Server” provided to solve
these nasty problems.
NAT Status: Enabled. It depends on ISP Connection Type in Internet settings.
VPN Passthrough: VPN pass-through is a feature of routers which allows VPN client on a private
network to establish outbound VPNs unhindered.
SIP ALG: Enable the SIP ALG when SIP phone needs ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable the SIP
ALG when SIP phone includes NAT-Traversal algorithm.
Interface: Select to set DMZ/Virtual Server for “EWAN”, “3G/4G-LTE” or “3G/4G-LTE USB”.
Service Index: Associated to EWAN interface marking each EWAN service (0-7), to select which
EWAN service the DMZ and Virtual server are applied to.
Click DMZ or Virtual Server to move on to set the DMZ or Virtual Server
parameters, which are represented in the following scenario.

DMZ
NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode.
The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP
address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms
then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other
Virtual Server entries.
DMZ for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and
communicate. Note: Here you can see the Multiple IPs Account/EWAN Service ID 0. It is the interface
set in the previous NAT page.
DMZ:
Enabled: It activates your DMZ function.
Disabled: It disables the DMZ function.
DMZ Host IP Address: Give a static IP address to the DMZ Host when Enabled radio button is
checked. Be aware that this IP will be exposed to the WAN/Internet.
Select the Save button to apply your changes.

BEC 6300VNL User Manual
Virtual Server
NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode.
In TCP/IP networks, a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a
server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned
to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as
“well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them.
If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other
machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept
incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and
P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually
need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the
PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to
host an online game server.
The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and
point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs.
Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.
The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web
or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the
LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the
external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
Virtual Server for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and
communicate.
Protocol: Choose the application protocol.
Start / End Port Number: Enter a port or port range you want to forward.
(Example: Start / End: 1000 or Start: 1000, End: 2000).

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be
able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use
specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires,
instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN
attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified.
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server
function will hence be invalid.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning
the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest
way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to
each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP
addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the
virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the
router.

Static DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for
computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various
information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it
translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with
networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the
Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the
domain name www.example.com can be translated into the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS, in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static without
change.

Interface Grouping
Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known
as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were
attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same
attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not
located on the same network switch. Similarly, they may also have been split into two different groups,
even if they are on the same switch.

serves as a SNMP agent which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the router through
the network.
SNMP: Select to enable SNMP feature.
Get Community: Type the Get Community, which is the password for the incoming Get-and-GetNext
requests from the management station.
Set Community: Type the Set Community, which is the password for incoming Set requests from the
management station.
Trap Manager IP: Enter the IP of the server receiving the trap message (when some exception occurs)
sent by this SNMP agent.
SNMPv3: Enable to activate the SNMPv3.
User Name: Enter the name allowed to access the SNMP agent.
Access Permissions: Set the access permissions for the user; RO--read only and RW--read and
writer.
Authentication Protocol: Select the authentication protocol, MD5 and SHA. SNMP agent can
communicate with the manager station through authentication and encryption to secure the message
exchange. Set the authentication and encryption information here and below.

Universal Plug & Play
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control
and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers
through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much
easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control
advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the
router. Windows XP and Windows ME natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and
Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to
support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
UPnP: Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to
open the web configuration’s login screen without entering the BEC 6300VNL' IP address
Auto-configured: Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically
configure the BEC 6300VNL so that they can communicate through the BEC 6300VNL, for example by
using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to
communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port
forwarding for the UPnP enabled application.

Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing
users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your internet connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may
use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time
to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your
ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es). But note that first users have
to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account.
Dynamic DNS: Select this check box to activate Dynamic DNS.
Service Provider: Select from drop-down menu for the appropriate service provider, for example:
www.dyndns.org.
My Host Name: Type the domain name assigned to your BEC 6300VNL by your Dynamic DNS
provider.
Username: Type your user name.
Password: Type the password.
Wildcard support: Select this check box to enable DYNDNS Wildcard.
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS
server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when
your dynamic IP address changes.

By default, the “Access Control” has two default rules.
Default Rule 1: (Index 1), a rule to allow only clients from LAN to have access to all embedded
applications (Web, FTP, etc). Under this situation, clients from WAN cannot access the router even
from Ping.
Default Rule 2: (Index 2), an ACL rule to open Ping to WAN side.
