    Introduction 1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 7300GX Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7300GX ADSL2+ Router by Billion. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router , PC card slot for 3G/HSDPA data card 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.
  • Page 5 Internet. The BiPAC 7300GX 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 difficult 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.

    5.3.3 System There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart and User Management.

  • Page 83: Time Zone

    5.3.3.1 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, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified.
  • Page 84 5.3.3.2 Firmware Upgrade 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. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

  • Page 85: Backup / Restore

    5.3.3.3 Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.

  • Page 86: User Management

    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. You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button more than 6 seconds on the back of your router.

  • Page 87: Firewall

    5.3.4 Firewall Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as 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.

    prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet. Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks. MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet. URL Filter: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites. A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the Firewall section below: Packet Filter, MAC Address Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING and URL Filter.

Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es).
  • Page 90 If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet.
  • Page 91 5.3.4.3 Intrusion Detection Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function.

There are two settings to be provided in the Router: LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. e.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by the QoS policy.

It also is the maximal rate for this policy. As above FTP server example, you may want to “throttle” the outgoing FTP speed to 20% of 256K and limit to it, you may use this type.

    5.3.6 Virtual Server 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”.
  • Page 102 to 65535, but only port numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as “well-known ports”. The registered ports are numbered from 1024 through 49151. The remaining ports, referred to as dynamic ports, or private ports, are numbered from 49152 through 65535.

  • Page 104 In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by the particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you can specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all”...
  • Page 105 Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All”...
