Chapter 1: Product

Introduction to your Router

Thank you for purchasing BiPAC 8200N Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines
a VDSL modem, VDSL2 router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get
the machines on your network connected to the Internet over a VDSL broadband connection.

The BiPAC 8200N is an all-in-one VDSL2 Router with the latest 802.11n technology. It is designed
for home and SOHO users who seek extreme mobility, high-speed wireless connection and better
wireless coverage while maintaining high-speed broadband access with VDSL2.

The BiPAC 8200N is capable of offering optimal speeds and coverage over the integrated wireless

802.11n access point. The device supports the highest rate of up to 100Mbps/100Mbps in VDSL2
Prole (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 ofce. 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

provide protection against hacker attacks while the Quality of Service prioritizes queues and trafc
for applications such as music downloads, online gaming, video streaming and le sharing.

Express Internet Access – VDSL2 capable

The router complies with VDSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 100Mbps
with VDSL and upstream rates of 100 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed VDSL services but
also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time
audio which are easier and faster than ever. The router is compliant with ITU-T VDSL2 Standard

G.993.2 ,G.994.1 and G.997.1. Support VDSL2 Proles: 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b, 17a and 30a.

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 trafc 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 congurable 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 ofce 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 specic 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 Conguration 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 conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with
on-line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to congure 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 emergency­reash 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 qualied 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 congured 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 conguration.

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 congure 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 congure 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 congure your PC network environment.
