to 2.3 / 4.6 Mbps, respectively, and BiPAC 8501 SHDSL.bis can support up to 5.7 Mbps
on 2-wire and 8521 SHDSL.bis can support up to 11.4 Mbps on 4-wire. BiPAC 85xx
series also supports rate management that allows SHDSL subscribers to select an
Internet access speed suiting their needs and budgets. BiPAC 8500/ 8520 and 8501/
8521 follows ITU standard PAM16 Line Code complies with G.991.2 and G.994.1
standards, and BiPAC 8501 follows PAM 32 Line code with G.991.2 and G.991.2.bis
standards. These three models can support Annex A and B operating mode.
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.
Multi-Protocol to establish a connection
It 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
It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users not
only can enter the information they get from their ISP easily, it also enables immediate
internet suffing.
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 networking simple and
affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable
seamless proximity networking in addition to controling 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 gateways (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 firewall feature, the router also provides advanced
hacker pattern-filtering 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 access to the private LAN through the firewall.
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 IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will
be forwarded to the real DNS of an 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 first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More
than 5 DDNS servers are supported.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which type 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 speed fast, even under heavy load.
The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address,
protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed of different types of outgoing data passing
through the router to ensure P2P users don’t saturate the upload bandwidth, or office
browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. Alternatively, you can simply change
the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds
of each data transmission.
It allows user to establish a virtual network with a remote computer. In this way data can
be transmitted securedly through the virtual tunnel formed within the network. User can
use embedded PPTP and L2TP client/server, IKE and IPSec which are supported by this
router to make a VPN connection or run the PPTP client in PC and the router which
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.
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 specific
local computer for handling. 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.
Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will
filter packets from and to the Internet. It also provides a higher level of security control.
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 including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address and
distribute them 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 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.
Rich Management Interfaces
It supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and WAN
port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to configure and
manage the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to
configure and manage the device.

the LAN Link and SHDSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper
cables.
The router can be configured with 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,
etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
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.
There are ways to connect to the router, either through an external repeater hub to the router or
directly connecting with PCs. However, to be sure PCs have an Ethernet interface installed
properly prior to connecting to the router. You ought to configure your PCs 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 best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get
an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem
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.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the SHDSL Router. To configure other types of workstations, please
consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
