Introduction

1.1 An Overview of BIPAC-741 GE V2.0

The BIPAC-741 GE V2.0 router provides a high-speed ADSL port, a 4-port 10/100M Base-T Ethernet switch for high-speed Internet browsing. It can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. 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).

The product 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 ISP. Besides, an embedded PPTP client and PPTP server are supported to establish a VPN tunnel with a remote PPTP device. 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 provides the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure a 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 three 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 certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. For example, to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly, a user can open some specific ports for outside users to access internal services in the network. Finally it can also detect and block many Hacker Patterns and not allow hackers into your network.

Integrated DHCP services, client and server, allows up to 253 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 a 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, The Virtual Server function allows the product to provide limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP 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

Billion BIPAC-741 GE V2.0 ADSL Firewall Router

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.

BIPAC-741 GE V2.0 provides the following features:

ADSL Multi-Mode Standard: Supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and

upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. 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).

Fast Ethernet Switch : A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is supported in the LAN site

and automatic switching between MDI and MDIX for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports is supported. An Ethernet straight or cross-over cable can be used directly, this fast Ethernet switch will detect it automatically.

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, an end user can enter the information easily which they from the 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.

Network Address Translation (NAT): Allows multi-users to access outside resource such as

Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Besides, many application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting and others.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Firewall: Supports SOHO firewall with NAT technology. Automatically detects and blocks the

Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The URL-blocking, packet filtering and SPI are also supported. The hacker’s attack will be recorded associated with timestamp in the security logging area. More firewall features will be added continually, please visit our web site to download latest firmware.

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, then every DNS conversion requests packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network. After the router gets the reply, then forwards it back to the PC.

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 first apply an account from this free Web server http://www.dyndns.org/. There are more than 5 DDNS servers supported.

Virtual Private Network (VPN): Allows a user to make a tunnel with a remote site directly to secure the data transmission among the connection. Users can use embedded PPTP client/server and IPSec supported by this router to make a VPN tunnel or the user 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.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE): Provide 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 the local computer. The Always ON, Dial On Demand and auto disconnection (Idle Timer) functions are provided too.

Virtual Server: Users 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, users can assign a PC in a LAN acting as a WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse an inside web server 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 Filteri ng: Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port

numbers.

Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server: In the WAN site, the DHCP client

can get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate up to 253 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: Supports an easy static table or RIP1/2 routing protocol to support

routing capability.

SNTP: An easy way to get the network real time information from an SNTP server.
