Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 6200NXL Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines a Broadband modem, Ethernet network switch and two USB ports to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over a 3G broadband connection.

The BiP AC 6200NXL supports 3G, PPP over Ethernet, DHCP Client and Fixed IP address to establish a connection with your ISP.

The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection, the BiPAC 6200NXL allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block internal users from accessing the Internet.

The BiP AC 6200NXL provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your network.

The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow multiple users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server and reboot. Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and assigns an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service (port mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then incoming requests for web pages that are received by the router can be rerouted to your dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address.

Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you can set the router to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

Features

3 G-based Internet connections (requires an additional 3G USB modem), with automatic fail-over to ensure an always-on Internet connection in the event that one of your Internet services fails. The setup of 3G is simplified by the web browser-based configuration. It is easy for you to access to the Internet wherever a 3G connection is available, you can even share your Internet connection with others, no matter whether you’re in a meeting, or taking a cross-country train trip.

802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support

With integrated 802.1 1n Wireless Access Point in the router , the device offers a quick and easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 300 Mbps 802.11n data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and

access control via Wireless LAN.

Fast Ethernet Switch

A 3-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built-in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports, with auto detection allowing you to use either straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.

EWAN

BiP AC 6200NXL of fers a W AN port to connect to Cable Modems and fibre optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.

USB Server

BiPAC 6200NXL supports two USB 2.0 ports, Using the integrated USB 2.0 ports, the device offers users to share a blistering wired or 3G-based wireless Internet connection over 3G networks. Printer, Webcam and HDD can also connect to USB port, The BiPAC 6200NXL can also serve as multi-function servers with its USB port to help you set up your own network. You can share the printer in your office network, monitor your house with a Webcam and share files with your colleagues or

friends. If you need to handle office business, home security and personal entertainment, the BiPAC 6200NXL can connect with your network devices using the built-in USB port.

3G Management Center Monitoring your 3G connection status is easy with the BiPAC 6200NXL. The unique Billion 3G Management Center is a web-based utility tool, displaying visually its current 3G-signal status for users to maximize their connection. Users can monitor their bandwidth with current upload and download speed. This tool also calculates the total amount of hours or data traffic used per month, allowing users to manage their 3G monthly subscriptions. The web-based user interface of the BiPAC 6200NXL makes it extremely easy for users to install and manage their network. Supporting DHCP client and server, the router enables system administrators to easily integrate this router into existing network environments and manage IP assignment without the need to reconfigure other stations.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection The router supports PPP over Ethernet, DHCP Client and Fixed IP address to establish a connection with an ISP.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors, and it makes setting up a network simple and affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, you can seamlessly connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.

Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

Firewall NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.

Domain Name System Relay Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a user-friendly

name such as www.google.com with an IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server to the router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router is forwarded to the real DNS on the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. To use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

The BiP AC 6200NXL provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by Internal IP address, External IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

Virtual Server

You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided for local computers exposed to the outside Internet network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. On a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP addresses, including subnet masks and DNS IP addresses and distributes them to local computers. This provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

Rich Packet Filtering

This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of security control.

Web-based GUI A web-based GUI offers easy configuration and management. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable You can upgrade the router with the latest firmware through its web-based GUI.
