Uniquely, the router offers users more flexibility to directly insert a 3G / HSPA SIM card into its built-in SIM slot instead of requiring external USB modems. This design will avoid compatibility issues of many different 3G USB modems. With the increasing popularity of the 3G standard, communication via the BiPAC 7800GZ(L) is becoming more convenient and widely available enabling users to use a 3G / UMTS HSDPA / HSUPA or GSM GPRS / EDGE Internet connection, making downstream rates of up to 7.2Mbps possible. Users can watch movies, download music on the road or access e-mail wherever a 3G connection is available. Additionally, the integrated IPSec VPN function allows you to encrypt connections of up to 4 VPN tunnels to securely transmit data over the Internet (BiPAC 7800GZ only). The support for auto fail-over means that users will be assured of a constant Internet connection - in the event that the ADSL line fails, the BiPAC 7800GZ(L) will connect via the embedded 3G card to deliver uninterrupted connectivity.

3G Mobility and Always-On Connection

The BiPAC 7800GZ(L) router allows you to insert a 3G / HSPA USIM card to its built-in SIM slot, enabling you to use a 3G / HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, or GSM Internet connection, which makes downstream rates of up to 7.2Mbps*4 possible. With the increasing popularity of the 3G standard, communication via the BiPAC 7800GZ(L) is becoming more convenient and widely available - allowing you to watch movies, download music on the road, or access e-mail no matter where you are. You can even share your Internet connection with others, no matter if you're in a meeting, or speeding across the country on a train. The auto fail-over feature ensures maximum connectivity and minimum interruption by quickly and smoothly connecting to a 3G network in the event that your ADSL line fails. The 7800GZ(L) will then automatically reconnect to the ADSL connection when it's restored, reducing connection costs. These features are perfect for office situations where constant connection is paramount.

Secure VPN Connections (BiPAC 7800GZ only)

The BiPAC 7800GZ supports embedded IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols, allowing users to establish encrypted private connections of up to 4 simultaneous tunnels over the Internet. So that you can access your corporate intranet and transmit sensitive data between branch offices and remote sites anytime; even when you are on the road, thus enhancing productivity

Smooth, Responsive Net Connection

Quality of Service (QoS) gives user 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 speed of different types of outgoing data passing through the router is also controlled to ensure that users do not saturate bandwidth with their browsing activities.

Wireless Mobility and Double-layer Protection

An integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point offers quick yet easy access with data encryption for added security. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) support ensures high-level data protection and WLAN access control. In addition, rich firewall security features such as SPI, DoS attack prevention and URL content filtering are integrated to provide unparalleled protection for Internet access. The router also supports the WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by simply pushing a button. If your network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows you to expand your wireless network without the need for any external wires or cables.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problem 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. 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 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.

Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

Connecting Your Router

BiPAC 7800GZ(L) offers three modes to connect to the internet. Besides using ADSL, users can set EWAN (Ethernet port # 4) or 3G for internet connection. BiPAC 7800GZ(L) also allows Dual WAN connection: ADSL fail-over to 3G, EWAN fail-over to 3G, ADSL fail-over to EWAN, and counter likewise.

The router supports more than one Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN that supports multiple internet access 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 and RIP v1+v2. Check to enable RIP function.

Click Apply to confirm the settings.

IP Alias

This function allows the addition an IP alias to the network interface. It further allows user the flexibility to assign a specific 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 confirm the settings.

Wireless

Parameters

WLAN Service: Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless, select Disable.

Time Schedule: A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization

policy.

Here we provide two groups of Time S ched ule setting. You can flexibly 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.

Select the timeslot you want, then the wireless will work according to the time of the two time

schedule settings. That is to say you can flexibly set the time the wireless works.

For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

Mode: The default setting is 802.11b+g. From the drop-down manual, you can select 802.11b if

you have only 11b card. If you have only 11g card, select 802.11g.

ESSID: The ESSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) used to distinguish one

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 specific 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.

 Enable: Select Enable if you do not want broadcast your ESSID. When select Enable,the

ESSID will be hided in stead of broadcasting, thus when wireless client searches for this AP, failure occurs. This ESSID(AP) will be invisible to you. In this case, if you want to join this wireless network, enter the exactly ESSID manually and some security settings.

 Disable: When Disable is selected, the router will broadcast the ESSID to allow anybody with

a wireless client to be able to identify the Access Point (AP) of your router. Select the specific ESSID scanned, with some security settings, you will join this wireless network.

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).

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.

Note: The Power Level maybe different in each access network user premise environment, choose the most suitable level for your network.

AP MAC Address: It is a unique hardware address of the Access Point. AP Firmware Version: The Access Point firmware version. WPS Service: Select Enable if you would like to activate WPS service.

WPS State: This column allows you to set the status of the device wireless setting whether it has been configured or unconfigured. For WPS configuration please refer to the section on Wi-Fi Network Setup for detail.

Voice, Video, Best Effort and Background. Default is set to disable.

 Enable: Click to activate WMM feature.  Disable: Click to deactivate WMM feature.

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 defining 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.

Click Apply to confirm the settings. You can click Security settings link next to Cancel button to go to Wireless Security screen (see

WPS

WPS (WiFi 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 & PBC Method.

Wi-Fi Network Setup

PIN Method: Configure AP as Registrar

1. Jot down the client’s Pin (eg. 16837546).

2. Enter the Enrollee’s PIN number and then press Start.

3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee, press the WPS button on the top bar, select the AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List column. Then press the PIN button located on the middle left of the page to run the scan.

4. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security

setting of the registrar.

PIN Method: Configure AP as Enrollee

1. In the WPS configuration page, change the Role to Enrollee. Then press Start.

2. Jot down the WPS PIN (eg. 25879810).

3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Registrar. Enter the PIN number in the PIN Code column then choose the correct AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PIN button to run the scan.

4. The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar.

5. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page.

The parameters on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page are as follows:

PBC Method:

1. Press the PBC button of the AP.

2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the WPS button and choose the correct AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the scan.

3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the router.

Wi-Fi Network Setup with Windows Vista WCN:

1. Jot down the AP PIN from the Web (eg. 25879810).

2. Access the Wireless configuration of the web GUI. Set the WPS State to Unconfigured then

click Apply.

3. In your Vista operating system, access the Control Panel page, then select Network and Internet > View Network Computers and Devices. Double click on the BiPAC 7800GZ(L) icon and enter the AP PIN in the column provided then press Next.

4. Enter the AP SSID then click Next.

5. Enter the Passphrase then click Next.

6. When you have come to this step, you will have completed the Wi-Fi network setup using the built-in WCN feature in Windows Vista.

DHCP Server

DHCP allows networked devices to obtain information on the parameter of IP, Netmask, Gateway as well as DNS through the Ethernet Address of the device.

To configure the router’s DHCP Server, select DHCP Server from the DHCP Server Mode drop-

down menu. You can then configure 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, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).

Note: Option 66: This option is used to identify a TFTP server, User must set TFTP server IP address if

enable option 66.

Click Apply to enable this function.

If you select DHCP Relay from the DHCP Server Mode drop-down menu, you must enter the IP

address of the DHCP server that assigns an IP address to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP. Click Apply to enable this function.

VRRP

VRRP is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers in a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail-over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. Any of the virtual router's IP addresses in a LAN can then be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.

VRRP: The default setting is Disable. Check Enable radio button to activate this function. VRID: A master or backup router running the VRRP protocol may participate in one VRID instance. Priority: Specifies the sending VRRP router's priority for the virtual router. Higher values equal

higher priority. The priority value for the VRRP router that owns the IP address associated with the

virtual router MUST be 255. VRRP routers backing up a virtual router MUST use priority values between 1 and 254. The default priority value for VRRP routers backing up a virtual router is 100.

The priority value zero (0) has special meaning indicating that the current Master has stopped participating in VRRP. This is used to trigger Backup routers to quickly transition to Master without having to wait for the current Master to timeout.

Preempt Mode: When preempt mode is enabled, a backup router always takes over the

responsibility of the master router. When disabled, the lower priority backup is left in the master state.

VRIP: One IP address that is associated with the virtual router. Advertisement period: Indicates the time interval in seconds between advertisements. The

default value is 1 second.
