Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Thank you for purchasing BiPAC 7800(N) Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines
an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to
get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.
BiPAC 7800(N) router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and supports
downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Designed for small ofce,
home ofce and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet connections. You can
enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video
streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever before.
BiPAC 7800(N) supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation
Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516)
to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based
multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection,
BiPAC 7800(N) allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet rewall, protecting your network from access by outside
users. Not only does it provide a natural rewall function with Network Address Translation (NAT), it
also provides rich rewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets are monitored
and ltered. You can also congure your new router to block internal users from accessing the
Internet.
BiPAC 7800(N) 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 difcult 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 specic 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 specic 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
Express Internet Access
The router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24
Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also
broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio
much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2;
G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); G.dmt.bis.
plus (ITU G.992.5)).
EWAN
BiPAC 7800(N) EWAN port provides user an alternative means to connect to Cable Modems, VDSL,
ber optic lines and PON besides using ADSL for internet connection. If one uses ADSL to connect
to the internet, EWAN can act as the 5th Ethernet port of the LAN. This alternative provides users
with more exibility & a faster way to get online.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed
IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address,
whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about 3.4×1038)
addresses. This expansion provides exibility in allocating addresses and routing trafc and eliminates
the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread deployment as an
effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address
autoconguration) and network renumbering (prex and router announcements) when changing
Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by xing the size of the
host identier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the
host identier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 4-port 1000Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X.
An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation
over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a
connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
BiPAC 7800(N) 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.
2
Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.
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. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture
leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and
data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net
meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP
address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as
web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
Domain Name System (DNS) Relay
It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.
com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP address, every
DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in 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. For example, to use the service, you must rst apply
for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are
supported.
Virtual Server
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming
service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specic local computer
to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and
expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is
protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside
network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering
Not only lters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets
from the Internet and vice versa, in addition to providing a higher level of security control.
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and
3
distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It
provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device delivers up to 6 times
faster speeds and 3 times farther range than an 802.11b/g wireless network. It supports a fast data
transfer rate up to 300Mbps and is fully compatible with 802.11b/11g equipments. The supported
features of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN. The router also
supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that features the establishment of a secured wireless network.
The built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) also facilitates the exibility for wireless network
expansion without the need for any external wires or cables.
Web based GUI
It supports web based GUI for conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to congure and manage
this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest rmware through the WEB based GUI.

IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.100 and proceed with the following step by step
guide.
1. Power the router off.
2. Hold the "Reset Button
”.
3. Power on the router. Then Router's IP will reset to Emergency IP
address (Say 192.168.1.254)
4. Download the firmware.
1. Recovery procedures for non-working routers (e.g. after a failed rmware upgrade ash):
Hold the Reset Button on the back of the modem in. Keep this button held in and turn on the
modem. Once power LED lits orange, release the Reset Button. The modem’s emergency-reash
web interface will then be accessible via http://192.168.1.254 where you can upload a rmware
image to restore the modem to a functional state. Please note that the modem will only respond
via its web interface at this address, and will not respond to ping requests from your PC or to telnet
connections.
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. On 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.
Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same
telephone line as your router have a line lter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless
you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualied and licensed electrician),
and that all line lters are correctly installed in a right way. If line lter is not installed and connected
properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be congured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista,
etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for conguration.
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 congure your PCs to obtain an IP address through
a DHCP server or a xed 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 congure 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 rewall 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.
Please follow the following steps to congure your PC network environment.

Chapter 4: Conguration
To easily congure this device for internet access, you must have IE 5.0 / Netscape 4.5 or above
installed on your computer. There are basically 2 ways to congure your router before you are able
to connect to the internet: Easy Sign-On & Web Interface. Conguration of each method will be
discussed in detail in the following sections.
Easy Sign-On (EZSO)
This special feature makes it easier for you to congure your router so that you can connect to the
internet in a matter of seconds without having to logon to the router GUI for any detail conguration.
This conguration method is usually auto initiated if user is to connect to the internet via Billion's
router for the rst time.
After setting up the router with all the appropriate cables plugged-in, open up your IE browser,
the EZSO WEB GUI will automatically pop up and request that you enter some basic information
that you have obtained from your ISP. By following the instructions given carefully and through the
information you provide, the router will be congured in no time and you will nd yourself surng the
internet sooner than you realize.
Follow the Easy Sign-On conguration wizard to complete the basic network conguration.
1. Connect your router with all the appropriate cables. Then, load your IE / netscape browser.
2. When the EZSO conguration wizard pops up, select the connect mode which you want to set
up and then click continue.
23
3. Please enter all the information in the blanks provided and then click continue.
4. The device will reboot and then load the new conguration.
5. If all information provided is valid and the device successfully connects to WAN, a dialog box

congure your GPON router.
LAN, WAN, System, Firewall, QoS, Virtual Server, Wake on LAN, Certicate, Time Schedule
and Advanced.
The function of each conguration sub-item is described in the following sections.
70
LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers
are connected. This type of network is area dened and is usually limited to a conned region within
a building or just within the same storey of a building. There are 5 items within the LAN section:
Ethernet, IP Alias, IPv6 Autofconig, Wireless (7800N only), Wireless Security (7800N only),
WPS(7800N only) and DHCP Server.
Ethernet
The router supports more than one Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN, and with distinct LAN subnets
through which you can access the Internet at the same time. Users usually only have one subnet in
their LAN. The default IP address for the router is 192.168.1.254.
IP Address: The default IP on this router.
Netmask: The default subnet mask on this router.
RIP: RIP v1, RIP v2 & RIP v1+v2.
Click Apply to conrm the settings.
IP Alias
This function allows the addition an IP alias to the network interface. This further allows user the
exibility to assign a specic function to use this IP.
IP Address: Enter the IP address to be added to the network.
Netmask: Specify a subnet mask for the IP to be added.
Click Apply to conrm the settings.
71
IPv6 Autocong
The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prex and the interface ID.
There are two ways to dynamically congure IPv6 address on hosts. One is statefull conguration,
for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful
autoconguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or conguration information and
parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which
addresses have been assigned to which hosts.
The second way is stateless conguration. Stateless auto-conguration requires no manual
conguration of hosts, minimal (if any) conguration 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 (prex) advertised by routers. Routers advertise
prexes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identier"
that uniquely identies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When
using stateless conguration, you needn’t congure anything on the client.
Static LAN IPv6 Address Conguration
Interface Address / Prex Length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address, we suggest leave the eld
empty because when setted wrong, it will result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6
device through internet. Router will take the same WAN’s prex to LAN side if the eld is empty.
IPv6 LAN application
DHCPv6 Server: check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.
DHCPv6 Server Type: select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is
available. Stateless: if selected, the PCs in LAN are congured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in
LAN are congured through RA mode, to obtain the prex message and generate an address using
a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prex) advertised by
routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. Stateful: if selected,
the PCs in LAN will be congured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information
72
from DHCPv6 server.
Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the
prex and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.
End interface ID: enter the end interface ID.
Note: Interface ID does NOT support ZERO COMPRESSION "::". Please enter the complete
information.
For example: Please enter "0:0:0:2" instead of "::2".
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.
Issue Router Advertisement: check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is
to send Router Advertisement messages periodically. Router will multicast the v6 Prex information
(similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the eld is enabled. We suggest
enabling this eld.
73
Wireless (only for BiPAC 7800N)
Parameters
WLAN Service: Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless, select Disable.
Time Schedule:
Time Schedule: A self dened time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization
policy.
Here we provide two groups of Time Schedule setting. You can exibly set the time you want the
wireless connection works.
If you select Always On in group1, then the group2 is disabled.
While if you select any other item from the group1 drop-down menu, the group2 will be activated.

schedule settings. You can set two timeslots, let wireless works to the two timeslots time you set.
For example: you want your wireless to work at 08:00-18:00 Sunday and 01:00-02:00 Monday, you
74
can set like this:
the timesolts
setting
For timeslots setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
Mode: The default setting is 802.11g+n. If you do not know or have both 11g and 11b devices in
your network, then keep the default in mixed mode. From the drop-down manual, you can select
802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b. And if you have
11n card, you can select 802.11n.
ESSID: The ESSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) used to distinguish one from
another. For security propose, change to a unique ID name which is already built into the router
wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure your wireless
clients have exactly the ESSID as the device in order to connect to your network.
Hide ESSID: This function enables the router to become invisible on the network. Thus, any clients
using the wireless setting to search for available or specic router on the network will not be able
to discover the router whose Hide ESSID function is set to enabled. The default setting is disabled.
Regulation Domain: There are seven Regulation Domains for you to choose from, including North
America (N.America), Europe, France, etc. The Channel ID will be different based on this setting.
Channel ID: Select the wireless connection channel ID that you would like to use.
Note: Wireless performance may degrade if the selected channel ID is already being occupied
by other AP(s).
Channel width: Select either 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz for the channel bandwidth. The higher the
bandwidth the better the performance will be.
TX PowerLevel: It is a function that enhances the wireless transmitting signal strength. User
may adjust this power level from minimum 0 up to maximum 100.

75
Voice, Video, Best Effort and Background. Default is set to disable.
Wireless Multicast Forwarding: select Enable to enbale wireless multicasr forwarding feature.
Then you can set the wireless multicast rate to give control to wireless multicast.
Wireless Multicast Rate: species the rate at which multicast packets are transmitted by the
access point on your wireless network. Specifying a high multicast rate may improve performance
of multicast features.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
It is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access
points. It is easy to install simply by dening the peer’s MAC address of the connected AP. WDS
takes advantages of the cost saving and flexibility which no extra wireless client device is required to
bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless infrastructure network
to create a larger network. It can connect up to 4 wireless APs for extending cover range at the same
time.
In addition, WDS also enhances its link connection security mode. Key encryption and channel must
be the same for both access points.
WDS Service: The default setting is Disabled. Check Enable radio button to activate this
function.
1. Peer WDS MAC Address: It is the associated AP’s MAC Address. It is important that your
peer’s AP must include your MAC address in order to acknowledge and communicate with
each other.
2. Peer WDS MAC Address: It is the second associated AP’s MAC Address.
3. Peer WDS MAC Address: It is the third associated AP’s MAC Address.
4. Peer WDS MAC Address: It is the fourth associated AP’s MAC Address.
Note: For MAC Address, the format can be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

as well as DNS through the Ethernet Address of the device.
To congure the router’s DHCP Server, select DHCP Server from the DHCP Server Mode drop-
down menu. You can then congure parameters of the DHCP Server including the domain, IP pool
(starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time
for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP
address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when
it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. If you check “Use Router as a DNS Server”, the
ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, nd the IP address from the outside network
automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network). Click
Apply to enable this function.
Note:
