Introduction to your Router

Thank you for purchasing BiPAC 9800(N) Router. Your new router is a point-to-point ber gateway

that allows you to experience very super fast broadband point-to-point connectivity for FTTH
applications.

The BiPAC 9800(N) is a point-to-point (P2P) Fiber Gateway – featuring a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet

Switch, Firewall and Wi-Fi 802.11n access point. The device can be used for ber-to-the-home
(FTTH) applications and offers four different optical connectors of Fiber WAN interface transceiver:
100/1000BASE-BX (single-mode single ber transceiver), 100/1000BASE-LX (single-mode dual
ber), 100BASE-FX (multi-mode dual ber), and 100/1000BASE Small Form Factor Pluggable

(SFP).

Moreover, the BiPAC 9800(N) supports remote management on end-user devices, which is available
upon request for Telcos/ISPs projects to tightly manage FTTH service delivery. The router is also
equipped with a built-in 4-port Gigabit Switch, enabling amazingly fast LAN transmissions for

bandwidth-consuming applications such as video streaming and le sharing. The integrated 802.11n
Wireless Access Point ensures the 9800N offers faster wireless speeds (up to 300Mbps) while three

built-in antennae maximize wireless signals.

The BiPAC 9800(N) automatically adopts the optimal connection to deliver smooth and constant
signal reception even if obstacles are present. Users can easily enjoy high bandwidth applications

such as High Denition IPTV services without changing their home network. A robust Firewall is also

built in to provide protection against intrusion attacks while the Quality of Service feature prioritizes
queues and trafc or manages bandwidth for applications such as music downloads and online
gaming.

802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support (BiPAC 9800N Only)

With integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy

access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (VDSL) with single

device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 300 Mbps 802.11n data
rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The Wireless
Protected Access (WPA) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) supported features enhance the
security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN.

Fast Ethernet Switch

A 4-port 10/100/1000Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI
and MDI-X for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or crossover

cable can be used directly for auto detection.

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.

Quick Installation Wizard

It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the

1

information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.

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.

Rich Management Interfaces

It supports exible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and WAN port. Users
can use terminal applications through the console port to congure and manage the device, or
Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to congure and manage the device.

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 source IP address, destination 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.

2

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.

Dynamic Host Conguration 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
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.

Static and RIP1/2 Routing

It has routing capability and supports easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

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.

The detail instruction in Reset Button

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 the Power LED lights orange, release the Reset Button. The modem's emergency-

re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.

10

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling 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 and

WAN link 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 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 WAN connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

11

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
connect 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.
