Dynamic Route: RIP Version: Select the RIP version from RIP-1, RIP-2B and RIP-2M. RIP Direction: Select the RIP direction from None, Both, In Only and Out Only. Multicast: IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data.
Page 38
4.2.2 LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. Router Local IP IP Address: Enter the IP address of ADSL Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default).
Page 39
DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. DHCP: If set to Enable, your BiPAC 5200 Series can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client.
4.3 Advanced Setup 4.3.1 Firewall Your router includes a firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN and helping 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 41
4.3.2 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 42
ADD Route Destination IP Address:This is the destination subnet IP address. IP Subnet Mask:It is the destination IP addresses based on above destination subnet IP Gateway IP Address:This is the gateway IP address to which packets are to be forwarded. Metric:It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes.
Page 43
4.3.3 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 NAPT. 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 44
DMZ: Disabled: As set in default setting, it disables the DMZ function. Enabled: It activates your DMZ function. DMZ Host Address: Give a static IP address to the DMZ Host when Enabled radio button is checked. Be aware that this IP will be exposed to the WAN/Internet. Select the Apply button to apply your changes.
Page 45
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 local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
Page 46
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. Many-to-One: This is the mode maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address. This is equivalent to Many to One (i.e., PAT, port address translation).
Page 47
Public Start IP: This is the starting Inside Public IP Address. Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP. Public End IP: This is the ending Inside Public IP Address. This field is N/A for One-to-one, Many-to-One and Server mapping types.
Page 48
4.3.4 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.
4.4 Access Management 4.4.1 ACL Access Control Listing allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which BiPAC 5200 Series interface from which computers. You can configure the router for remote Telnet access or upload and download router firmware and configuration files using FTP. To use this feature, your computer must have an FTP client.
Page 50
4.4.2 IP Filter You may use telnet or Web to remotely manage the ADSL Router. User just needs to enable Telnet or Web and give it an IP address that want to access the ADSL Router. The default IP 0.0.0.0 allows any client to use this service to remotely manage the ADSL Router. IP Filter Set Editing IP filter Set Index: This is item number Interface: Select which channel (PVC) to configure.
Page 51
IP Filter Rule Index: This is item number Active: Select Yes from the drop down list box to enable IP filter rule. Source IP Address: The source IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Subnet Mask: It is the destination IP addresses based on above destination subnet IP Source Port Number: This Port or Port Ranges defines the port allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to connect to the application.
Page 52
4.4.3 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 5200 series supports SNMP agent functionality which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the router through the network. Get Community: Type the Get Community, which is the password for the incoming Get-and GetNext requests from the management station.
Page 53
4.4.4 UPnP UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.
Page 54
4.4.5 DDNS The 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 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.
4.5 Maintenance 4.5.1 Administrator In factory setting, the default password is admin, and that for user is also password. 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 at a safe place.
4.5.2 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. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified.
Page 57
4.5.3 Firmware Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.
Page 58
4.5.4 SysRestart Click SysRestart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration). If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.
