802.11n access point. The device supports the highest rate of up to 100Mbps/100Mbps in VDSL2
Prole (30a). Since VDSL2 has the characteristic of faster rates over shorter distances, the ideal
architecture for Telcoms is to use ber optic lines as the backbone and a VDSL2 line as the last
mile into the home or ofce. VDSL2 operates over copper wires so that telecom operators can
provide bundled services to end-users similar to those that cable operators offer.
With outstanding throughput, the BiPAC 8200N can complement a ber network to offer the best
solution for delivering IPTV or home entertainment services. The SOHO Firewall is integrated to

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.
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 4-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.
1
EWAN
Besides using VDSL to get connected to the Internet, this router offers its Ethernet port 4 as a
WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and ber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster
method to connect to the internet will provide users more exibility to get online.
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. 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, you can seamlessly
connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
It 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.
Firewall
NAT technology supports simple rewalls and provides options for blocking access from the
Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.
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.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This device 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.
2
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data trafc should be given priority by
the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management
information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features
are congurable 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 ofce 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
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.
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
In a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically. In 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
Not only lters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will lter
packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.
Web-based GUI
It supports web based GUI for conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with
on-line 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.

Recovery Operation
1. Recovery procedures for non-working routers (e.g. after a failed rmware upgrade ash):
The system will check the rmware of this device automatically while turning on the modem. Once
the rmware is not integrated, the system enters the recovery state. The modem emergencyreash 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.
2. Recovery procedures for a lost web interface password:
After turning the router on, please press the Reset Button on the back of the modem, and hold
the button until all the lights on the modem begin to ash and then it will reboot itself to restore the
factory default settings. The login username and password will then be reset to admin. You can
then access its GUI via its default IP address at http://192.168.1.254/.
9
Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is because of bad cabling or VDSL line(s). Make
sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify
that the LAN Link and VDSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper
cables.
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g.
telephones, fax machines, analog modems) have a line lter connected between them and the
wall socket (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 VDSL 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/7, 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.

These functions allow you to save a backup of the current conguration of your router to a dened
location on your PC, or to restore a previously saved conguration. This is useful if you wish to
experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup in hand in case any mistakes
occur. It is advisable that you backup your router conguration before making any changes to your
router conguration.
Backup Conguration
Press Backup to select where on your local PC you want to store your setting le. You may also
want to change the name of the le when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.
Restore Conguration
Press Browse to select a le from your PC to restore. You should only restore your router setting
that has been generated by the Backup function which is created with the current version of the
router rmware. Settings les saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.
Select the settings les you wish to use, and press Restore to load the setting into the router. Click
Restore to begin restoring the conguration and wait for the router to restart before performing any
actions.
84
Restart
There are 2 options for you to choose from before restarting the your 8200N device. You can
either choose to restart your device to restore it to the Factory Default Settings or to restart the
device with your current settings applied. Restarting your device to Factory Default Setting will be
useful especially after you have accidentally changed your settings that may result in undesirable
outcome.
If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a rmware
upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect conguration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to
factory default settings.
Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved
conguration).
After selecting the type of setting you want the device to restart with, click the Restart button to
initiate the process. After restarting, please wait several minutes to let the selected setting applied
to the system.
You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button more
than 1 second on the back of your router.
85
User Management
In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router conguration interface, it requires all users
to login with a username and password. Therefore only system administrator can access the
system.
This feature allows you to set up multiple user accounts which contains a unique password of its
own. In addition, you can also edit any existing user accounts or add new users to allow access to
the device conguration interface.
Edit Account Information
You can change the informations of any account whether the account is active or valid.
1. To edit an account, click on the Edit radio button of the account you want to edit. Once selected,
all information of that account will be displayed.
2. Delete the information to be edited and replace it with the new one.
3. When it is done, simply click on the Edit/Delete button to save your changes.
Note: It is highly recommended that you change the password immediately to prevent
security breach to your GUI.

Firewall
Firewall and Access Control
Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) rewall for controlling Internet access
from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using
NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet rewall, since all PCs
on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the
WAN conguration section for more details on NAT.
Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network.
NAT natural rewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses, which are invisible to outside users on
the Internet, making it much more difcult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This
natural rewall is on when the NAT function is enabled.
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 items appears in the Firewall section below: Packet
Filter, MAC Filter, Intrusion Detection, Block WAN PING and URL Filter.
89
Packet Filter
Packet ltering enables you to congure your router to block specic internal / external users (IP
address) from Internet access, or disable specic service requests (Port number) to / from the
Internet. This conguration program allows you to set up different lter rules for different users
based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The relationship among all lters is “or”
operation, which means that the router checks these different lter rules one by one, starting from
the rst rule. As long as one of the rules is satised, the specied action will be taken.
Rule Name: User dened description for entry identication. The maximum name length is 32
characters, and then can choose an application that they want from the listbox.
Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block trafc
to/rom particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to lter out. If you leave these four elds
empty or enter 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.
Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, TCP/UDP) 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 lter rule, forward (allows the packets to pass) or drop (disallow
the packets to pass) this packet.
Internal Port: This Port or Port Range denes the ports allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN
to connect to the application. Default is set the range from 1 to 65535. It is recommended that this
option be congured by an advanced user.
External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that denes the application.
Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.
Time Schedule: It is self-dened time period. You may specify a time schedule for your
prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
Log: Check the checking box if you wish to generate logs when the ler rule is applied to a packet.
90
Add: Click this button to add a new packet lter rule and the added rule will appear at the bottom
table.
Edit: Check Edit next to the item you wish to edit, and then change parameters as desired.
Complete it by press “Edit/Delete”.
Delete: Check Edit next to the item you wish to delete, and press “Edit/Delete” to remove this rule.
Order: Be aware that packet ltering parameters appear in priority order i.e. the rst 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.
91
MAC Filter
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identier 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 congure the network to block specic machines from accessing
your LAN.
There are no pre-dened MAC address lter rules, you can add the lter 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 lter.
Server Information
MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses you wish to have the lter rule applies.
92
Intrusion Detection
The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attack and intrusion
attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the rewall is enabled, inbound packets are
ltered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion
attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.
Intrusion Detection: Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer
without permission.
Maximum TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN
Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.
Maximum Ping Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is
occurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.
Maximum ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP ood is occurring or not.
Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).
Log: Check Log if you wish to generate logs when the ler rule is applied to the Intrusion
Detection.
Click Apply to conrm the settings.

Block WAN Ping
This feature is to be enabled when you want the public WAN IP address on your router not to
respond to any ping command.
This feature is disabled by default. To activate the Block WAN PING feature, check the Enable box
then click the Apply button.
96
URL Filter
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://
www.example.com) lter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specic
websites dened by their URL. There are no predened URL lter rules, therefore you can add
lter rules to meet your requirements.
Keywords Filtering: Allow blocking against specic keywords within a particular URL rather
than having to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When
enabled, your specied keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs
accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL lter
blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.
For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword
“abcde” occurs in the URL.
Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL not the IP address, in URLs accessed
against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted)
or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both check-boxes must be checked. Here
is the checking procedure:
1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt
is sent to the remote web server.
2. If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list. If yes, then the connection attempt will be
dropped.
3. If the packet does not match either of the above two items, it is sent to the remote web server.
