Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Thank you for purchasing BiPAC 7800 Router. 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 7800 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 ofce,
home ofce 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 7800 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)
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 7800 allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet rewall, protecting your network from access by
outside users. Not only does it provide a natural rewall function with Network Address Translation
(NAT), it also provides rich rewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets
are monitored and ltered. You can also congure your new router to block internal users from
accessing the Internet.
The BiPAC 7800 provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making
them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difcult 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 specic 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 mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited
visibility to local machines with specic services for outside users. 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.

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)).
EWAN
Besides using ADSL to get connected to the Internet, BiPAC 7800 offers its Ethernet port 5 as a WAN
port to be used to connect to Cable Modems, VDSL, ber optic lines and PON. This alternative, yet
faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more exibility to get online.
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 4-port 1000Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X.
An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection.
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.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
The BiPAC 7800 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.
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.
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 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.
Web based GUI
It supports web based GUI for conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to congure and manage
this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest rmware through the WEB based GUI.

Cabling
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.

LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers
are connected. This type of network is area dened and is usually limited to a conned region
within a building or just within the same storey of a building. There are 3 items within the LAN
section: Ethernet, IP Alias and DHCP Server.
Ethernet
The router supports more than one Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN, and with distinct LAN
subnets through which you can access the Internet at the same time. Users usually only have one

System
There are ve items within the System section: Time Zone, 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 most current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose
your local time zone from the drop down menu. To apply the selected 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 drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks
provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server for you to use.
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 that runs in your
router. Thus, by upgrading the newly improved version of the rmware allows you the advantage to
use newly integrated features.
Click on Browse 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 to your router.
50
Page 54
Backup / Restore
These functions allow you to save a backup of the current conguration of your router to a dened
location on your PC, or to restore a previously saved conguration. This is useful if you wish to
experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup in hand in case any mistakes
occur. It is advisable that you backup your router conguration before making any changes to your
router conguration.
Press Backup Settings to select where on your local PC you want to store your setting le. You
may also want to 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 your router setting
that has been generated by the Backup function which is created with the current version of the
router rmware. Settings les saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.
Select the settings les you wish to use, and press Update Settings to load the setting into the
router.
51
Page 55
Restart
There are 2 options for you to choose from before restarting the your 7800 device. You can
either choose to restart your device to restore it to the Factory Default Settings or to restart the
device with your current settings applied. Restarting your device to Factory Default Setting will be
useful especially after you have accidentally changed your settings that may result in undesirable
outcome.
After selecting the type of setting you want the device to restart with, click the Restart button to
initiate the process. After restarting, please wait several minutes to let the selected setting applied
to the system.
User Management
In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router conguration interface, it requires all users
to login with a username and password. Therefore only system administrator can access the
system. It is highly recommended that you change your password upon receiving your router. The
default password is “admin”.
To change your password, simply enter the old password in the Old Password blank. Then enter
your new password in the New Password and Conrm Password blanks provided. When this is
done, press Apply to save changes.

Firewall
Packet Filter
Packet ltering enables you to congure your router to block specied internal/external users (IP
address) from Internet access, or you can disable specic service requests (Port number) to / from
the Internet. This conguration program allows you to set up different lter rules for different users
based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The relationship among all lters is “or”
operation, which means that the router checks these different lter rules one by one, starting from
the rst rule. As long as one of the rules is satised, the specied action will be taken.
Rule Name: User dened description for entry identication. The maximum name length is 32
characters, and then can choose an application that they want from the listbox.
Source IP address / Source Subnet Mask: This is an Address-Filter used to allow or block trafc
to/from particular IP address(es). Enter the IP & subnet mask you want to lter. If you leave empty
or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.
Destination IP address / Destination Subnet Mask: This is an Address-Filter used to allow or
block trafc to/from particular IP address(es). Enter the IP & subnet mask you want to lter. If you
leave empty or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.
Source Port: This Port or Port Range denes the ports allowed by the Remote/WAN to connect to
the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535. It is recommended that only advance user is
to congure this feature.
Destination Port: This is the Port or Port Range that denes the port of the application.
Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, TCP/UDP) that the rule applies to. Select TCP if
you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the remote server using the
port number. Or select UDP if you want to search for the connectionless application service on the
remote server using the port number.
Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.
Add: Click this button to add a new packet lter rule and the added rule will appear at the bottom
table.
Edit: Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”.
Delete: Check the Rule No. you wish to delete, and then click “Delete”.

Page 57
MAC Filter
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identier for each PC on
your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC
Address Filter function, you can congure the network to block specic machines from accessing
your LAN.
To lter a specic MAC address, enter the MAC address in the blank provided then press Add.
The format of MAC address-- could be: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
Block WAN Ping
This feature is to be enabled when you want the public WAN IP address on your 7800 device not
to respond to any ping command.
When activating Block WAN PING feature, check the Enable box then click the Apply button. This
feature is deactivated by default.

Page 58
Virtual Server
Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming trafc from WAN side (identied by Protocol and
External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is
required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the
server on the LAN side.
In TCP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program
(usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that
are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are
referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can
locate them.
If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other
machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept
incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and
P2P le-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you need to
congure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specic ports to the PC
on your network running the application. You also need to use port forwarding if you wish to host
an online game server.
Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information,
please see IANA’s website at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

you may select a protocol type which you want.
External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to congure.
Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specic internal server to which requests from the
specied port is forwarded.
Add: Click to add a new virtual server rule. Click again and the next gure appears.
Edit: Check the Edit radio button to display the parameter of the selected application, then after
changing the parameters click the Edit/Delete button to apply the changes.
Delete: To remove a port mapping application, check the Remove box of the selected application
then click the Edit/Delete button.
Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet rewall, your router protects your network from accessed
by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specically
create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router
needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email
server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with
a specic port number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port
23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request the router for a
specied port is received, it is forwarded to the corresponding internal server.
For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address
192.168.1.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server
(PC) with the IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predened application, you
need to add it manually.
In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The
protocol is determined by a particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you
may also specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all”
causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to
the specied IP address.

DMZ
The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP
address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets that do not use a port number which is already
used by any other Virtual Server entries will rst be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms
before it is passed to the DMZ host.

Static Route
Enter the destination network address, subnet mask, gateway AND/OR the available WAN
interface, then click “Add” to add a new entry to the routing table.
Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your
ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you
may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes
from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned
to you by your ISP.
You rst need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your
username and password for this service.
Period: Enter the length of period in the blank, you can set the period unit in day (d), hour (H) or
month (M).
Wildcard: When enabled, you allow the system to lookup on domain names that do not exist to
have MX records synthesized for them.

Device Management
The Device Management advanced conguration settings allow you to control your router’s
security options and device monitoring features.
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with the
feature to control data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running
NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems. By letting the application
control the required settings and removing the need for the user to control the advanced
conguration of their device will make tasks such as port forwarding become easier.
Both user’s Operating System and its relevant applications must support UPnP in addition to
the router. Windows XP and Windows Me have a native built-in support for UPnP (when the
component is installed). Windows 98 users may have to install the Internet Connection Sharing
client from Windows XP in order to support UpnP feature. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
