Introduction the BiPAC 5200N

1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 5200N

Welcome to the Billion BiPAC 5200N ADSL2+ Modem/Router. Your Billion router is an “all-in-one” unit, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch, providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL broadband connection.

The BiP AC 5200N complies with ADSL2+ standards for worldwide deployment and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It is designed for small office, home office and residential users, enabling even faster speed Internet connections. User 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 product 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 ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. Besides, it can also be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.

The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker

to target a machine on your network. Secondly , it can block and redirect cert ain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. For example, to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly , user can open some specific ports for outside users to access internal services in network.

Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server , allow multiple users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from DHCP server and reboot. Each time local machine is powered up; the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the

LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP (Internet Service Providers) provided IP address can be set to the product and then specific services can be rerouted to specific computers on the local network. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the product and then incoming requests for HTML that are received by the product can be rerouted to the dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address. In this example, the product is on the Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.

Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the product can be set 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.

1.2 Features of the BiPAC 5200N

ADSL Multi-Mode Standard

Supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It also supports rate management that allows ADSL subscribers to select an Internet access speed suiting their needs and budgets. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt(G.992.1); G.lite(G992.2)), G.hs (G994.1), G.dmt.bis (G.992.3), G.dmt.bisplus (G.992.5)). The Annex A and B are supported in different H/W platforms.

Wireless Ethernet 802.11n With built-in 802.11n access point for extending the communication media to WLAN while providing the WEP, WPA and WPA2 for securing your wireless networks.

Fast Ethernet Switch A 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and

MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or cross-over cable can be used directly for auto detection.

Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection 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 (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Quick Installation Wizard Supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the 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 W eb 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.

Firewall Supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking access from Internet, like Telnet, FTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.

Domain Name System (DNS) relay 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 WA N IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) Provides embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. Users can get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for local computer . The Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are provided, too.

Virtual Server User can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming service request and forward it to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, user can assign a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside user can browse inside web server directly while it is protected by NA T. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the out side network, Internet.

Dynamic Host Configuration 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.

RIP1/2 Routing Supports RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

Web based GUI Supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes

with on-line 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.

Basic Installation

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, MAC, Linux, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fi 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 configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable 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. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please 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.
