Installation

You can configure the BiPAC 7300W router through the convenient and user-friendly interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux and Windows 7/Vista/98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface which connects to the router directly or through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and 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 between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253). The easiest way is to configure the PC is to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you are advised to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems when trying to access the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all, 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.

“G.Lite:”, “T1.413” and “G.DMT” that user can select for this connection.

5.3.3 System

There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.

5.3.3.1 Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

5.3.3.2 Firmware Upgrade

Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality . Think of your router as a dedicated computer , and the firmware as the sof tware it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

Clicking on Browse allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.

Restart Device with: To choose “Factory Default Settings” or “Current Settings” which

uses your current setting on the new firmware (it is highly advised to use Factory Default Settings over Current Settings for a clean firmware upgrade).

New Firmware Image: Type in the location of the file you wish to upload in t his field or

click Browse… to locate it.

Browse…: Click Browse… to find the file with the .afw file extension that you wish to upload. Remember that you must decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upgrade from the file.

Upgrade: Click upgrade to begin the upload process. This process may take up to three minutes.

Warning

DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrade while it is still in process. Improper operation may damage the router. Please see section 2.4 for emergency recovery procedures.

5.3.3.3 Backup / Restore

These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.

Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.

Press Browse… to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the current version of the router’s firmware. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

Select the settings files you wish to use, and press Restore to load those settings into the router.

5.3.3.4 Restart Router

Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router and save the current configuration to device.

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.

5.3.3.5 User Management

In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users to login with a password. Y ou can set up multiple user account s, each with their own password.

You are able to Edit existing users and Add new users who are able to access the device’s configuration interface. Once you have clicked Edit on the account you want to edit, the information of the account will be displayed above. Just go ahead and change the password. You can change the user’s password, whether their account is active and Valid. These options are the same when creating a user account, with the exception that once created you cannot change the username. You cannot delete the default admin account; however you can delete any other created accounts by clicking ticking the box under Delete and then press the Edit/Delete button. You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “admin” account when you

receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults.

5.3.3.6 Mail Alert

Send a log via email, if WAN IP is changed or if intruders accessing your computer without permission.

SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails.

Username: Enter the username of your email account to be used by the SMTP server.

Password: Enter the password of your email account.

Sender’s Email: Enter your email address.

Recipient’s Email (WAN IP Change Alert): Enter the email address that will receive the

alert message once a computer / network server failover occurs.

Alert Mail Time (Intrusion Detection): The interval for sending alert mail.

Recipient’s Email (Intrusion Detection): Enter the email address that will receive the

alert message once intrusion has been detected.

5.3.4 Firewall

Firewall and Access Control

Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NA T (Network Address T ranslation) 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. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.

Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network. NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses, which are invisible to outside

users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when the NAT function is enabled.

When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings.

Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules

prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.

Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks.

MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet. URL Filter: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the Firewall section below: Packet Filter, MAC Address Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING and

URL Filter.

5.3.4.1 Packet Filter

Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken.

Rule Name: Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length is 32 characters, and then can choose application that they want from listbox.

Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.

Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) that the rule applies to. Select TCP if you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the remote server using the port number. Or select UDP if you want to search for the connectionless application service on the remote server using the port number.

Action: If a packet matches this filter rule, Forward (allows the packets to pass) or Drop (disallow the packets to pass) this packet.

Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the

Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.

External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application.

Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.

Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Log: Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.

Add: Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at the

bottom table.

Edit: Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”.

Delete: Check the Rule No. you wish to delete, and then click “Delete”.

Reorder: Be aware that packet filtering parameters appear in priority order i.e. the first one takes precedence over all other rules. There is a sort function next to the Rule Name

column, you can move the rule to higher or lower priority by clicking the Order arrow, and press “Reorder” to save the new priority.

Click Add to add the item configured and the corresponding information will be listed below just as the following.

Press Edit radio button, the item you want to re-edit will be displayed in the editing area, edit then press Edit/Delete to confirm your modification. If you want to delete the rule, check Delete, then press Edit/Delete to delete the rule.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do

Attention

not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the same subnet with the router.

5.3.4.2 MAC Filter

A MAC (Media Acces s Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.

There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements.

The format of MAC address could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

Filter Action

Action: Select an action for MAC Filter. This feature is disabled by default. Check Allow or Block to activate the filter.

Parameters

MAC Address: Enter the Ethernet MAC addresses you wish to have the filter rule applies to.

Time Schedule: A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

For Add, Edit, Delete, see the Packet filter.
