Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7300VGP series ADSL2+ Router by Billion. Your new
router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet
network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network
connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.
The BiPAC 7300VGP series router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment
worldwide and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1
Mbps. Designed for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even
faster Internet connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia
applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier
and faster than ever before.
The BiPAC 7300VGP series supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP
over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with your ISP.
Your new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband
Internet connection, the BiPAC 7300VGP series allows multiple users to have high-speed
Internet access simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by
outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address
Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming
data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block
internal users from accessing the Internet.
The BiPAC 7300VGP series provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP
2
addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult
for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain
ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other
Internet applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access
internal services on your network.
The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow
multiple users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set
local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the
DHCP server and reboot. Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes
it and assigns an IP address to instantly connect it to the
LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service (port forwarding) functions allow the product to provide
limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. You can set an
ISP (Internet Service Provider) provided IP address on the BiPAC 7300VGP series and
then you can reroute specific services to individual computers on your local network. For
instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then
incoming requests for web pages that are received by the router can be rerouted to your
dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address.
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you
can set the router to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the
same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from
hackers.
BiPAC 7300VGP serves as a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
handset-to-Ethernet adaptor that enables traditional telephone devices to operate as
Internet Protocol (IP) devices. It is the interface between the PSTN world and the IP world
acting as a residential gateway, eventually providing Internet Telephony capability. Cost
savings and ease of developing and integrating new services motivate most of the interest
in Internet telephony. Internet telephony integrates a variety of services provided by the
current Internet and the PSTN infrastructure.
BiPAC 7300VGP extracts the maximum benefit from Voice over IP (VoIP) technology. It
interfaces analog telephones with IP-based telephony networks. The integration of VoIP
technology and ADSL Modem/Router is undoubtedly the most economic and practical
solution to modern society.

1.2 Features
Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable
The BiPAC 7300VGP series complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting
downstream rates of 8Mbps with ADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with
ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL
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 Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.hs (ITU
G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); and G.dmt.bisplus (ITU G.992.5)
Voice over IP compliance with SIP standard
The router supports cost-effective, toll-quality voice calls over the Internet. It complies with
the most popular industrial standard, SIP protocol, to ensure the interoperability with SIP
devices and major VoIP Gateways. The VoIP ADSL router supports call waiting, silence
suppression, voice activity detection (VAD), comfort noise generation (CNG), line echo
cancellation, caller ID (Bell 202, V3) and so on.
802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support (7300VGP only)
With integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and
easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (ADSL)
with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 54 Mbps
802.11g data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 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 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built-in with automatic switching between MDI
and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports, with auto dection allowing you to use
either straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
The router supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483
encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) and IPoA
4
(RFC1577) to establish a connection with an ISP. The router also supports VC-based and
LLC-based multiplexing.
Quick Installation Wizard
A web-based GUI and quick installation wizard help you easily install the BiPAC 7300VGP
series. Enter your ISP’s information and begin browsing 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, and it makes setting up a network simple and
affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable 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
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such
as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many
application layer gateways (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 firewalls and provides options for blocking access from
the Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.
Domain Name System Relay
Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a
user-friendly name such as www.billion.com with an IP address. When a local machine sets
its DNS server to the router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the
PC to this router is forwarded to the real DNS on 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. To use the service, you must first apply for
an account from a DDNS service such as
http://www.dyndns.org/.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
5
The BiPAC 7300VGP series 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.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic 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 configurable 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 office 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:
You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming
service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example,
you can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside
network. Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by
NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided for local computers exposed to the outside
Internet network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider
(ISP) automatically. On 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
This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering
packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of security control.
Web-based GUI

Chapter 2
Product Overview
Standards-Based Technology
The BiPAC 7300VGP Wireless Router utilizes the 802.11g standard.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the data
rate up to 54Mbps* within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will be
able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network
without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data
over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology.
OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then
transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the
amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The BIPAC 7300G is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you
have an existing 802.11b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with
802.11g devices at speeds of up to 11Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.
Installation Considerations
The BiPAC 7300VGP Wireless Router lets you access your network, using a wireless
connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that
the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless
signals must pass
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the BiPAC 7300VGP and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your BiPAC 7300VGP wireless
product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.Keep the number
of walls and ceilings between the BiPAC 7300VGP and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your BiPAC 7300VGP wireless product’s range
from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.Be aware of the
direct line between network devices. Position devices so that the signal will travel straight
through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. Building Materials can
impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative
9
effect on range.
Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal
passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.4 Keep your product
away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate
extreme RF noise.

2.5 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 of the product is a bank of LEDs.
V erify that the LAN Link and ADSL 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 Billion router
(e.g. telephones, fax machines, analog 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 frequent disconnections.

Installation
You can configure the BiPAC 7300VGP series router through the convenient and
user-friendly interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux
and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.
3.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface and connect to the router directly or
through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and
configured 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 easiest way is
to configure the PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If
you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you are advised to
uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing
the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.
Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all,
check your PC’s 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.
ny TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with o
through the BiPAC 7300VGP series. To configure other types of
workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
