Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Welcome to the 3G/VoIP/ (802.11g) ADSL2+(VPN) Firewall Router. The router is an “all-in-one”
ADSL router, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch functionalities,
providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over
your ADSL broadband connection. With features such as an ADSL Quick-Start wizard and DHCP
Server, you can be online in no time at all and with a minimum of fuss and conguration, catering for
rst-time users to the guru requiring advanced features and control over their Internet connection
and network.
Features
Express Internet Access
The router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24
Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also
broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time
audio much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413,
Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3);
G.dmt.bis.plus (ITU G.992.5)).
3G
3G-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G USB modem), with automatic fail-over
to ensure an always-on Internet connection in the event that one of your Internet services fails.
Secure WLAN setup is simplied by the web browser-based conguration for easy access to the
Internet wherever a 3G connection is available - whether you're seated at your desk or taking a
cross-country train trip.
802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support (Wireless Router 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-PSK and WPA2-PSK) 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. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used
directly for auto detection.
1
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation
overATM (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
It 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 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.
SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI
Along with the built-in NAT natural rewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker
pattern-ltering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed
through the rewall to the private LAN.
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.
2
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data trafc 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 congurable 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 ofce 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 (“port forwarding”)
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 specic 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.
Rich Packet Filtering
Not only lters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter
packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.
Dynamic Host Conguration 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 conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with
on-line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to congure and
manage this product.
3
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest rmware through the WEB based GUI.
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 congure and manage the device, or
Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to congure and manage the device.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) (BiPAC 7404V(G)OX only)
It allows user to make a tunnel with a remote site directly to secure the data transmission among
the connection. User can use embedded PPTP and L2TP client/server, IKE and IPSec which are
supported by this router to make a VPN connection or users can run the PPTP client in PC and the
router already provides IPSec and PPTP pass through function to establish a VPN connection if
the user likes to run the PPTP client in his local computer.

One of the most common causes of problem 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 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 qualied 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 ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be congured 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,
etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for conguration.
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 congure 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 congure 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 congure your PC network environment.

This section allows you to congure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some
of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well
allowing users to tweak the performance of their network.
Port # Connection Type: There are Six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex,
10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet
compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can congure different types to
solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless there are specic
problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN.
IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2nd octet of an IP
packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.
This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet is high priority, it will ow
rst and will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the
router’s Ethernet switch will check the 2nd octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS eld
matches the checked values in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.
47
DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration 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 congured to obtain IP addresses automatically.
To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click Apply. When the
DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a xed IP address to each PCs on your
network, and set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router (by default this is
192.168.1.254).
To congure the router’s DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click Next. You can then congure
parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to
be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time
the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details
are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server.
Click Apply to enable this function. If you check “Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will
perform the domain name lookup, nd the IP address from the outside network automatically and
forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
If you check DHCP Relay Agent and click Next, then you will have to enter the IP address of the
DHCP server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function
only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP.
Click Apply to enable this function.

Keep Alive: Set Enable to allow the router automatically reconnects the connection when ISP
disconnects it.
Connect to Demand: If you want to make UMTS/GPRS call only when there is a packet requesting access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the
Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout value at same time. Enabling Connect on
Demand will give you an option of Idle Timeout.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the connection when there is no activity on this call for a predetermined period of time. The default value is 10 seconds.
Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this check box to use DNS.
Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are
passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Note: If you don’t know how to set these values and please keep them untouched.
60
ADSL Mode
Connect Mode: This mode will automatically detect your ADSL line code, ADSL2+, ADSL2,
AnnexM2 and AnnexM2+, ADSL, All. Please keep the factory setting unless ADSL is detected as
the symptom of synchronization problem.
Modulation: It will automatically detect capability of your ADSL line mode. Please keep the
factory setting unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of synchronization problem.
Prole Type: Please keep the factory settings unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of low link
rate or unstable problems. You may need to change the prole setting to reach the best ADSL line
rate, it depends on the different DSLAM and location.
Activate Line: Aborting (false) your ADSL line and making it active (true) again for taking effect
with setting of Connect Mode.
Coding Gain: It reduces router’s transmit power which will effect to router’s downstream
performance. Higher the gain will increase the downstream rate but it sometimes causes unstable
ADSL line. The congurable ADSL coding gain is from 0 dB to 7dB, or automatic.
61
System
Here are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade,
Backup/Restore, Restart and User Management.
Time Zone
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your
local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet,
the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specied. If you prefer
to specify an SNTP server other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above.
Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during
summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check
Enable box to set your local time.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the
router’s time with that of the specied SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the
load on your specied SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the
absolute minimum every few hours or even days.
62
Remote Access
To temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time
period the router will permit remote access for and click Enable. You may change other conguration
options for the web administration interface using Device Management options in the Advanced
section of the GUI.
If you wish to permanently enable remote access, choose a time period of 0 minute.
Firmware Upgrade
Your router’s “rmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality.
Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the rmware as the software it runs. Over time
this software may be improved and revised, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it
runs to take advantage of these changes.
Clicking on Browse will allow you to select the new rmware image le you have downloaded to
your PC. Once the correct le is selected, click Upgrade to update the rmware in your router.
63
Backup / Restore
These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a le on your PC, or
to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings,
knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your
router’s settings before making any signicant changes to your router’s conguration.
Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings le. You may also change the
name of the le when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.
Press Browse to select a le from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings les that have
been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the current version of the
router’s rmware. Settings les saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.
After selecting the settings le you wish to use, pressing Restore will load those settings into the
router.
64
Restart Router
Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved
conguration).
If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a rmware
upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect conguration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to
factory default settings.
You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button more
than 6 seconds on the back of your router.
Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds, to be sure you power
cycle the device again.
65
User Management
In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s conguration interface, it requires all users
to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password.
You are able to Edit existing users and Add new users who are able to access the device’s conguration
interface. Once you have clicked on Edit, you are shown the following options:
You can change the user’s password, whether their account is active and valid, as well as add a
comment to each user account. Click Edit/Delete button to save your revise. You cannot delete
the default admin account, if you do you will be log out. However, you can delete any other created
accounts by clicking Delete when editing the user. You are strongly advised to change the password
on the default “admin” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your conguration
to Factory Defaults.
66
When you create a user account, check Valid box and ll in the respective information for User,
Comment, Password and Conrm Password in the blanks provided. Then click the Add button to
add your new user account.
To delete a user account, click on the Delete radio button on the right column of the account you
wish to delete and then click the Edit/Delete button on the top to conrm your deletion.
67
Firewall and Access Control
Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) rewall for controlling Internet access
from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. Besides, when using NAT, the
router acts as a “natural” Internet rewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses
that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
Firewall: Prevent outsiders from accessing your local network. The router provides three levels of
security support:
NAT natural rewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to users on the
Internet, thus making it more difcult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural
rewall is turned on when NAT function is enabled.
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to
prevent unauthorized computers or applications to access your local network from the Internet.
Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks.
Access Control: Prevent access from PCs on your local network:
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to
prevent unauthorized computers or applications from accessing the Internet.
URL Filter: To block PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.
68
Listed are the items under the Firewall section: General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection,
URL Filter, IM/P2P Blocking and Firewall Log.
General Settings
You can choose not to enable Firewall and still able to access to URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or
enable the Firewall using preset lter rules and modify the port lter rules as required. The Packet
Filter is used to lter packets based-on Applications (Port) or IP addresses.
There are four options when you enable the Firewall, they are:
All blocked/User-dened: no pre-dened port or address lter rules by default, meaning that
all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked. Users
have to add their own lter rules for further access to the Internet.
High/Medium/Low security level: the predened port lter rules for High, Medium and Low
security are displayed in Port Filters of Packet Filter.
Select either High, Medium or Low security level to enable the Firewall. The only difference between
these three security levels is the preset port lter rules in the Packet Filter. Firewall functionality is
the same for all levels; it is only the list of preset port lters that changes between each setting. For
more detailed on level of preset port lter information, refer to Table 1: Predened Port Filter.
If you choose of the preset security levels and add custom lters, this level of lter rules will be saved
even and do not need to re-congure the rules again if you disable or switch to other rewall level.
The “Block WAN Request” is a stand-alone function and not relate to whether security enable or
69
disable. Mostly it is for preventing any scan tools from WAN site by hacker.
Packet Filter
This function is only available when the Firewall is enabled and one of these four security levels is
chosen (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port lter rules in the Packet Filter must
modify accordingly to the level of Firewall, which is selected. See Table1: Predened Port Filter for
more detail information.
70
Example: Predened Port Filters Rules
The predened port lter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1.
Note: Firewall – All Blocked/User-dened, you must dene and create the port lter rules
yourself. No predened rule is being precongured.

Example: Conguring your rewall to allow a publicly accessible web server on your LAN
The predened port lter rule for HTTP (TCP port 80) is the same no matter whether the rewall is
set to a high, medium or low security level. To setup a web server located on the local network when
the rewall is enabled, you have to congure the Port Filters setting for HTTP.
73
As you can see from the diagram below, when the rewall is enabled with one of the three presets
(Low/Medium/High), inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means remote access through
HTTP to your router is not allowed.
Note: Inbound indicates accessing from Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to the
Internet.
74
Conguring Packet Filter:
Click Packet Filters. You will then be presented with the predened port lter rules screen (in 1.
this case for the low security level), shown below:
Note: You may click Edit the predened rule instead of Delete it. This is an example to show
to how you add a lter on your own.
Choose the radio button you want to delete the existing HTTP rule. Click Edit/Delete button to 2.
delete the existing HTTP rule.

The new port lter rule for HTTP is shown below:1.
Congure your Virtual Server (“port forwarding”) settings so that incoming HTTP requests on 2.
port 80 will be forwarded to the PC running your web server:
76
77
Intrusion Detection
The router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion
attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the rewall is enabled, inbound packets are
ltered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion
attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.
Blacklist: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be
added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time
period specied as the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled).
Some attack types are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land
attack and Echo/CharGen scan.
Intrusion Detection: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is false.
Block Duration:
Victim Protection Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking Smurf attacks. Default
value is 600 seconds.
Scan Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Scan attack. Scan attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan and similar attempts.
Default value is 86400 seconds.
DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible
Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to block include Ascend
Kill and WinNuke. Default value is 1800 seconds.
Max TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN Flood
attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.
Max PING Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is occurring or
not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.
Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP ood is occurring or not. Default
value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP ood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It
78
cannot protect against such attacks.

URL Filter
URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://
www.example.com) lter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular
websites by their URL. There are no pre-dened URL lter rules; you can add lter rules to meet
your requirements.
Enable/Disable: To enable or disable URL Filter feature.
Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL lter rules. The default is
set to Always On.
Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode.
Always On: Action is enabled. URL lter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours of
the day.
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is self-dened time period. You may specify the time period
to check the URL lter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time
Schedule section.
Keywords Filtering: Allows blocking by specic keywords within a particular URL rather than having
to specify a complete URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your
specied keywords list will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to
determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL lter blocks web
browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only.
For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword
“abcde” occurs in the URL.
81
Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL not the IP address, in URLs accessed
against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted)
or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both check-boxes must be checked. Here
is the checking procedure:
Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt 1.
is sent to the remote web server.
If not, check if it is listed in the forbidden list. If yes, then the connection attempt will be 2.
dropped.
If the packet does not match either of the above two items, it is sent to the remote web server.3.
Please be note that the completed URL, “www” + domain name shall be specied. For example 4.
to block trafc to www.google.com.au, enter “www.google” or “www.google.com”
In the example below, the URL request for www.abc.com will be sent to the remote web server
because it is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for www.google or www.google.com
will be dropped, because www.google is in the forbidden list.
82
Example:
Andy wishes to disable all WEB trafc except for ones listed in the trusted domain, which would
prevent Bobby from accessing other web sites. Andy selects both functions in the Domain Filtering
and thinks that it will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function, Domain Filtering, ONLY disables
all WEB trafc except for Trusted Domain, BUT not its IP address. If this is the situation, Block
surng by IP address function can be handy and helpful to Andy. Now, Andy can prevent Bobby
from accessing other sites.
Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules.
Block Java Applet: This function can block Web content that includes the Java Applet. It is
to prevent someone who wants to damage your system via standard HTTP protocol.
Block surng by IP address: Preventing someone who uses the IP address as URL for skipping Domains Filtering function. Activates only and if Domain Filtering enabled.
83
IM / P2P Blocking
IM, short for Instant Message, is required to use client program software that allows users to
communicate, in exchanging text message, with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A
P2P application, known as Peer-to-peer, is group of computer users who share le to specic
groups of people across the Internet. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make
communication faster and easier but your network can become increasingly insecure at the same
time. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access to the commonly used
IM, Yahoo and MSN, and P2P, BitTorrent and eDonkey, applications over the Internet.
Instant Message Blocking: The default is set to Disabled.
Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed.
Always On: Action is enabled.
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self-dened time period. You may specify the time
period to trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time
Schedule section.
Yahoo/MSN Messenger: Check the box to block either or both Yahoo or/and MSN Messenger. To
be sure you enabled the Instant Message Blocking rst.
Peer to Peer Blocking: The default is set to Disabled.
Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed.
Always On: Action is enabled.
TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self-dened time period. You may specify the time period to
trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
BitTorrent / eDonkey: Check the box to block either or both Bit Torrent or/and eDonkey. To be
sure you enabled the Peer to Peer Blocking rst.
84
Firewall Log

VPN - Virtual Private Networks (Only available for BiPAC 7404V(G)OX)
Virtual Private Networks is ways to establish secured communication tunnels to an organization’s
network via the Internet. Your router supports three main types of VPN (Virtual Private Network):
PPTP, IPSec and L2TP.
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
There are two types of PPTP VPN supported; Remote Access and LAN-to-LAN (please refer
below for more information). Click Conguration/VPN/PPTP.
Name: A given name for the connection.
Active: This function activates or deactivates the PPTP connection. Check Active checkbox if you
want the protocol of tunnel to be activated and vice versa.
Note: When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be
available.
Connection Type: It informs your PPTP tunnel connection condition.
Type: This refers to your router operates as a client or a server, Dialout or Dialin respectively.
PPTP Connection - Remote Access
Name: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to ofce”).
Connection Type: Remote Access or LAN to LAN.
Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote
VPNserver, e.g. your ofce server), check Dial In operates as a VPN server.
When conguring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Domain Name)
you wish to connect to.
When conguring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address assigned to the Dial in
User.
86
Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host. If you
are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.
Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are
a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.
Authentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to determine the authentication type
to use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP
(Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a
client), or else the authentication type you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a
server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password
before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has
not replaced the client.
Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm.
Default is Auto, so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection, or else you can
manually Enable or Disable encryption.
Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is
Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger encryption
than 40 bit keys.
Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets
when you select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each
packet.
Active as default route: Commonly used by the Dial-out connection which all packets will route
through the VPN tunnel to the Internet; therefore, active the function may degrade the Internet
performance.
Active: This function activates or deactivates the PPTP connection. Check Active checkbox if you
want the protocol of tunnel to be activated and vice versa.
Note: When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be
available.
Click Edit/Delete button to save your changes.

Name: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to ofce”).
Connection Type: Remote Access or LAN to LAN.
Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote
VPNserver, e.g. your ofce server), check Dial In operates as a VPN server.
When conguring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Domain Name)
you wish to connect to.
When conguring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address assigned to the Dial in
User.
Peer Network IP: Enter Peer network IP address.
Netmask: Enter the subnet mask of peer network based on the Peer Network IP setting.
Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host. If you
are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.
Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are
a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.
Authentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to determine the authentication type
to use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP
(Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a
client), or else the authentication type you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a
server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password
before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has
not replaced the client.
Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm.
Default is Auto, so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection, or else you can
manually Enable or Disable encryption.
Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is
Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger encryption
90
than 40 bit keys.
Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets
when you select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each
packet.
Active as default route: Commonly used by the Dial-out connection which all packets will route
through the VPN tunnel to the Internet; therefore, active the function may degrade the Internet
performance.
Active: This function activates or deactivates the PPTP connection. Check Active checkbox if you
want the protocol of tunnel to be activated and vice versa.
Note: When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be
available.
