    Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction to your Router Welcome to Billion BiPAC 5200G RC Series ADSL2+ Firewall 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.
  • Page 5 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.
  • Page 6: Features

    Features 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)).

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.
  • Page 8 Firmware Upgradeable Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI. Firewall Supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking access from Internet, like Telnet, FTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) Provides embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection.

  • Page 44: Wireless

    Wireless This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN cards communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN.
  • Page 45 Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake Enter a value between 1500 and 2347. Fragmentation Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.
  • Page 46 Wireless MAC Address Filter The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access up to 8 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 8 devices from accessing the router (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02.
  • Page 47 Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys to your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 10 and 26 HEX codes are required for 64-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP respectively.
  • Page 48: Advanced Setup

    Advanced Setup Firewall Your router includes a firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN that helps to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
  • Page 49: Routing

    Routing If you have another router with a LAN-to-LAN connection, you may create a static routing on the router that is the gateway to Internet. #: Item number Dest IP: IP address of the destination network Mask: The destination mask address. Gateway IP: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses.
  • Page 50 Add Route To add a new route, press the Add Route button. Then fill in all the parameters needed for the route. When done, press the Save button. Destination IP Address: This is the destination subnet IP address. IP Subnet Mask: A subnet mask allows IP networks to be subdivided for security and performance purposes.
  • Page 51: Nat

    The NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. The default setting is Dynamic NAT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table.
  • Page 52 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 first be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before it is passed to the DMZ host.
  • Page 53 The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by yourPCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to the local servers on the LAN network.
  • Page 54 IP Address Mapping Address Mapping Rule: Shows the PVC where the rule will be applied to. Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Rule Type: One-to-one: This is the mode maps one local IP address to one global IP address. Note that port numbers do not change for the One-to-one NAT mapping type.
  • Page 55 N/A for Server port mapping. Local End IP: This is the end range for Inside Local IP Address (ILA). If your rule is for all local IP addresses, then enter 0.0.0.0 as the Local Start IP address and 255.255.255.255 as the Local End IP address.
  • Page 56: Adsl

    ADSL ADSL Mode: The default setting is Auto Sync-UP. This mode will automatically detect your ADSL, ADSL2+, ADSL2, G.dmt, G.lite, and T1.413. But in some area, multimode cannot detect the ADSL line code well. If it is the case, please adjust the ADSL line code to G.dmt or T1.413 first. If it still fails, please try the other values such as ALCTL, ADI, etc.

Press SAVE to confirm your settings, and the corresponding settings will be listed in the URL Filter Listing table.
  • Page 62: Snmp

    SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. BiPAC 5200G RC Series router supports SNMP agent function that enables manager station to manage and monitor the router through the network.
  • Page 63: Upnp

    UPnP UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with controlling data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal and on supported systems. Task handling such as port forwarding becomes easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.
  • Page 64: Ddns

    DDNS Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is useful when hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishes to connect to you may use your domain name rather than having to use your ever changing dynamic IP address.
  • Page 65: Maintenance

    Maintenance Administration In default setting, the username and password are both "admin". You can change the default password to ensure that someone cannot adjust your settings without your permission. Every time you change your password, please record the password and keep it safe. New Password: Type the new password in this field Confirm Password: Type the new password again in this field.
  • Page 66: Time Zone

    Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock onboard. Instead it gets the current time through the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified.
  • Page 67: Firmware
