Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

The BiPAC 7700N is an ADSL2+ Router that offers users affordable expanded wireless coverage and speedy Internet connection. With an integrated 802.11n Access Point, the BiPAC 7700N can automatically adopt an optimal connection to deliver smooth, constant signal reception even if obstacles are present. Robust Firewall security is featured to protect Internet access against hacker attacks. The Quality of Service and VLAN enables intelligent steaming for HD video or multiple applications such as music downloads, online gaming, video streaming and file sharing simultaneously.

Optimal Wireless Speeds and Coverage

With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, this router supports a data rates up to 300Mbps and delivers up to 6 times the speed and 3 times the wireless coverage of an 802.11b/g network device. If the network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows users to expand the wireless network without the need for any external wires or cables.

Jitter-free, Reliable Net Traffic Quality of Service (QoS) gives full control over outgoing data traffic. Priority can be assigned by the

router to ensure that important transmissions like gaming packets, VoIP calls or IPTV / streaming content passes through the router at lightning speed, even when there is heavy Internet traffic. The VLAN support is also capable of establishing reliable high-speed transmissions for wide bandwidth applications such as IPTV, VOD, or online gaming without consuming bandwidth.

High-speed Internet Access

The BiPAC 7700N is compliant with worldwide ADSL standards, and supports download rates of up to 12 / 24Mbps using ADSL2 / 2+, 8Mbps using ADSL and an upload rate of up to 1Mbps. The integrated Annex M standard supports ADSL2 / 2+ for higher uploads by doubling the upload data rate. The 4-port Ethernet Switch incorporated into the BiPAC 7700N enables users to connect to multiple computers or wired-Ethernet devices easily and enjoy blistering LAN transmission for multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, IPTV video streaming and real-time audio.

VLAN MUX

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, regardles s 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.

The most commonly used Virtual LAN is defined by 802.1Q tagging protocol, which expended the

original Ethernet frame header to include VLAN ID (tag) and priority bits. With the support of network equipments, multiple virtual networks can coexist over the same physical network. Ethernet frames are used to transfer data over ADSL line when bridging, MER or PPPoE mode is used.

While the DSL connection we usually configured is to use a PVC match a single service, PPPoE PPPoA, bridging, etc. With the VLAN tag, we can make virtual interfaces to create multiple separate WAN connections within the same PVC. It allows multiple services over the same PVC. The VLAN Mux feature is designed for this purpose. For example, you have an ATM interface, PVC with

VPI/VCI 8/35, you can set the PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge connection via the PVC without respectively assigning the three services to three different PVCs.

Virtual AP

A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.

Reset(At the bottom of the device )

Connect your computer to a LAN port using the included Ethernet cable (with RJ-45 cable) Connect the supplied RJ-11 cable to this port when connecting to the ADSL/telephone network. Press for more than 5 seconds to restore the device to its factory default mode.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. In the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables. If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should contact technical support.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) 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 ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections. If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician to make any necessary changes.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 7 / 98 / NT / 2000 / XP / Me / Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your PC 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.

There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs 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 problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
