Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
The Billion BiPAC 8800NL R2, a multi service VDSL2/ADSL2+ Router, features fibre-ready tripleWAN VDSL2 supports backward compatibility to ADSL2+ for a longer reach distance, an all-in-one
advanced device equipped with 802.11n (2.4GHz) 300Mbps, Gigabit EWAN. As well as being IPv6capable, the BiPAC 8800NL R2 VDSL2 router supports super-fast fibre connections via a Gigabit
Ethernet WAN port. It also has one USB port, allowing the device to act as a print server as well as
a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) and FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) access. With an array of advanced features, the Billion BiPAC 8800NL R2
delivers a future-proof solution for VDSL2 connections, super-fast FTTC and ultra-speed FTTH
(Fibre-To-The-Home) network deployment and services.
Flexible Deployment Options
The BiPAC 8800NL R2 provides users with flexible, scalable deployment options optimized to both
reduce costs and provide the longest possible lifespan for the investment. The BiPAC 8800NL R2
integrates dual WAN options; a VDSL2/ADSL2+ interface and a second 10/100/1000 Ethernet
WAN interface which can be used for broadband connectivity to any other Ethernet broadband
device. SOHO or small office users can even deploy the BiPAC 8800NL R2 for FTTx (Fiber-to-thebuilding, node, or home) applications over a fibre device connection. Operators can now deploy one
device to support current and future network migration.
Optimal wireless performance
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, the router delivers up to 6 times the speed of an
802.11a/b/g network device. It supports a data rate of up to 300Mbps and is also compatible with
802.11a/b/g equipment. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and Wireless
Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access control
over wireless LAN. The router also supports the Wi-Fi 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.
Experience Gigabit
The BiPAC 8800NL R2 one Gigabit WAN port. This EWAN offers another broadband connectivity
option for connecting to a cable, DSL, fibre modem. The BiPAC 8800NL R2 again offers users
convenience and optimal network performance with data rates reaching up to 1Gbps.
Pathway to the IPv6 future
The BiPAC 8800NL R2 fully support IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack. Dual Stack means the router is
capable of running IPv4 and IPv6. With Billion IPv6 enabled devices, three major transition
mechanisms such as Dual-Stack, Dual-Stack Lite, and 6RD (IPv6 rapid deployment) are supported
to be adapted easily into service provider’s IPv4/IPv6 network..
Virtual AP
A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a
Page 6
2
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.
Web Based GUI
It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with
online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and
manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

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 all 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.
Make sure you have a line filter with all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems)
connected to the same telephone line 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 8, 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.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through this router. To
configure other types of workstations, please consult your manufacturer documentation.

LAN - Local Area Network
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers
are connected. This type of network is area defined and is usually limited to a confined region within
a building.
Ethernet
Parameters
Group Name: This refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section; you can set the
parameters for the specific group. Select the group via the drop-down box. For more information
please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.
IP address: the IP address of the router. Default is 192.168.1.254.
Subnet Mask: the default Subnet mask on the router.
IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function. Without IGMP snooping,
multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all
ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have
members of that group.”
When enabled, you will see two modes:
Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no
client subscribes to a multicast group.
Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there are no
client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.
Page 61
57
IGMP LAN to LAN Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)
Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he wants to get IGMP
snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled.
LAN side firewall: Enable to drop all traffic from the specified LAN group interface. After activating it,
all incoming packets by default will be dropped, and the user on the specified LAN group interface
can't access CPE anymore. But, you can still access the internet service. If user wants to manage
the CPE, please turn to IP Filtering Incoming
to add the allowing rules. Note that all incoming
packets by default will be dropped if the LAN side firewall is enabled and user cannot manage this
CPE from the specified LAN group.
DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the
router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP
addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically.
Disable
Disable the DHCP Server function.
Enable
Enable the DHCP function, enter the information wanted. Here as default.
Start IP Address: The start IP address of the range the DHCP Server used to assign to the Clients.
End IP Address: The end IP address f the range the DHCP Server used to assign to the Clients.
Leased Time (hour): The leased time for each DHCP Client.
Option 66: Click Enable to activate DHCP option 66 for some special devices, like IPTV Set Box.
The devices can get firmware or some special service from the TFTP server. User needs to set the
IP or hostname of the TFTP server.
User Router’s setting as DNS server: Select whether to enable use router’s setting as DNS server,
if enabled, the PCs on the LAN side obtain the router’s setting as DNS server. If disabled, please
specify exactly the primary/secondary DNS server.
Primary/Secondary DNS server: Specify your primary/secondary DNS server for your LAN devices.

IPv6 Autoconfig
The IPv6 address composes of two parts, the prefix and the interface ID.
There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is “stateful” configuration,
for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration 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” configuration. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual
configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration 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 (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers
advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an
"interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by
combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.
Group Name: Here group refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section, you can set
the parameters for the specific group. Select the group by the drop-down box. For more
information please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.
Static LAN IPv6 Address Configuration
Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter the static LAN IPv6 address.
IPv6 LAN application
DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.
Page 64
60
DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is
available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in
LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using
a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by
routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. St ateful: if selected,
the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information
from DHCPv6 server.
Start interface ID: Enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the
prefix 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.
ULA Prefix Advertisement: Enable this parameter to include the ipv6 ULA address in the RA
messages. ULA, unique local address, is an IPv6 address in the block fc00::/7. It is approximately
the IPv6 counterpart of the IPv4 private address. They are not routable in the global IPv6 Internet.
RADVD Type: The way that ULA prefix is generated.
Randomly Generated
Statically Configured: select to set manually in the following parameters.
Prefix: Set the prefix manually.
Preferred Life Time: The ULA prefix life time. When the time is over, the ULA prefix is invalid any
more, -1 means no limit.
Valid Life Time: It is a time threshold, when the time is over, clients should obtain new IPv6 address
from the router through RA; -1 means to be limitless.
MLD snooping: Similar to IGMP snooping, listens in on the MLD conversation between hosts and
routers by processing MLD packets sent in a multicast network, and it analyzes all MLD packets
between host
s and the connected multicast routers in the network. Without MLD snooping, multicast
traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With
MLD snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that
group.
Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no
client subscribes to a multicast group.
Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there is no
client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.
MLD LAN to LAN Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)
Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he want to get MLD
snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled
Page 65
61
Stateless and Stateful IPv6 address Configuration
Stateless: Two methods can be carried.
With DHCPv6 disabled, but Issue Router Advertisement Enabled
With this method, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are
configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a
combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by
routers.
With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled
With this method, the PCs’ addresses in LAN are configured like above method, but they can
obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
Page 66
62
Stateful: two methods can be adopted.
With only DHCPv6 enabled
With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same as in IPv4, that is addresses are
assigned by DHCPv6 server.
With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled
With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same like above, and the address
information in RA packets will be neglected.
Page 67

Interface Grouping
Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known
as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requir ements 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.
Each group will perform as an independent network. To support this feature, you must create
mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button.
(Please Note: P5 can be configured as EWAN, and when the device is in EWAN profile, there is no
P5/EWAN interface as P5 is working as a WAN port.)
Groups Isolation: If enabled, devices in one group are not able to access those in the other group.

Note: If you like to automatically add LAN clients to a WAN Interface in the new group add the
DHCP vendor ID string.
By configuring a DHCP vendor ID string any DHCP client request with the specified vendor
ID (DHCP option 60) will be denied an IP address from the local DHCP server.
If a vendor ID is configured for a specific client device, please REBOOT the client device
attached to the modem to allow it to obtain an appropriate IP address.
Each LAN interface can only be added into one group and one WAN interface can only be
used in one group.

Wireless
This section provides you ways to configure wireless access. The BiPAC 8800NL R2 supports
wireless on the 2.4GHz for users. This part has sub-items as Basic, Security, MAC Filter, Wireless
Bridge, Advanced, Station Info and Schedule Control here.

Basic
It let you determine whether to enable Wireless function and set the basic parameters of an AP and
the Virtual APs.
Wireless: Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless devices, check the
checkbox again to unselect.
Hide SSID: It is function in which transmits its SSID to the air so that when wireless client searches
for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Check the checkbox to determine
whether you want to hide SSID.
Clients Isolation: if you enabled this function, then each of your wireless clients will not be able to
communicate with each other.
Disable WMM Advertise: Stop the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM)
functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).
Check to disable or enable this function.
Wireless multicast Forwarding (WMF): check to enable or disable wireless multicast forwarding.
SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.
For security purpose, change the default to a unique ID name to the AP already built-in to the
router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure your
wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.
Note: SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
BSSID: Basic Set Service Identifier, it is a local managed IEEE MAC address, and is 48 bits value.
Country: Different countries have different wireless band resources, so you can select the
appropriate Country according to your location.
Max Clients: enter the number of max clients the wireless network can supports,1-16.
Guest/virtual Access Points: 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
Page 72
68
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.
Here you can enable some Virtual APs according to the request. And the other parameters of virtual
APs are the same to the above.

Note: If you don’t know well about the DHCP Option, you can leave it empty or leave it as default.
NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet
through a single IP account by sharing the single IP address. If users on your LAN have their own
public IP addresses to access the Internet, NAT function can be disabled. When enabled, a Fullcone
NAT parameter will appear, you can determine whether to enable Fullcone NAT. While only NAT
enabled, the default NAT type Port-Restricted cone NAT will be used.
Fullcone NAT: Enable or disable fullcone NAT. Fullcone is a kind of NAT, in this mode, all requests
from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port.
Furthermore, any external host can send a packet to the internal host, by sending a packet to the
mapped external address.
Firewall: Enable to drop all traffic from WAN side. If enabled, all incoming packets by default would
be dropped, and please turn to IP Filtering Incoming
to add allowing rules.
IGMP Multicast Proxy: Check whether to enable this feature. IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) Proxy intercepts the IGMP request from Clients and set up the multicast-forwarding table,
it takes over some of the router’s job, simplifying the router’s job and multicast communication.
IGMP Multicast Source: Enable to support the “source filtering” which is the ability for a system to
report interest in receiving packets “only ” from specific source address(es), or “all but” specific
source address(es), sent to a particular multicast address. Note: It works only on IGMP version 3.
No Multicast VLAN Filter: Enable to deactivate the multicast VLAN filter which allows users to filter
on all multicast packets or on specific multicast groups.
MLD Multicast Proxy: check whether to enable this function. MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery
Protocol) Proxy intercepts the MLD request from Clients a set up the multicast-forwarding table. it
takes over some of the router’s job, simplifying the router’s job and multicast communication.
Support MLDv1 and MLDv2. Note: It works only on MLD version 2.
MLD Multicast Source: Used in a similar way by IPv6 system as IGMP Multicast source in IPv4
system. Enable it to support the source filtering functionality for IPv6 system.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit, the size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific
headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface.
MAC Spoofing: This option is required by some service providers specifying some specific MAC
allowed for joining network. You must fill in the MAC address specified by your service provider
when this information is required.
Click Next to continue to set the default gateway and DNS for IPv4 and IPv6.

Encapsulation Mode: Select the encapsulation mode, LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING, or VC/MUX.
Description: User-defined description for the connection, commonly for friendly use.
802.1P Priority: The parameter indicates the frame priority level from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest), which
can be used to prioritize different classes of traffic (voice, video, data, etc). Enter the priority
identification, tagged: 0-1, untagged: -1.
802.1Q VLAN ID: It is a parameter to specify the VLAN which the frame belongs. Enter the VLAN ID
identification, tagged: 0-4094, untagged : -1.
Allow as IGMP Multicast Source: Enable to support the “source filtering” which is the ability for a
system to report interest in receiving packets “only ” from specific source address(es), or “all but”
specific source address(es), sent to a particular multicast address. Note: It works only on IGMP
version 3.
Allow as MLD Multicast Source: Used in a similar way by IPv6 system as IGMP Multicast source
in IPv4 system. Enable it to support the source filtering functionality for IPv6 system. Note: It works
only on MLD version 2.
