    Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 7300(N) Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7300(N) 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.
  • Page 5 The BiPAC 7300(N) 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.

  • Page 6: Features

    1.2 Features Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable The BiPAC 7300(N) complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 8 Mbps with ADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 3 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio which are easier and faster than ever.
  • Page 7 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, and it makes setting up a network simple and affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices.
  • Page 8 QoS gives you full control over which types 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 ay lightning speed, even under heavy load.

  • Page 10: Chapter 2

    Chapter 2 Product Overview Standards-Based Technology The BiPAC 7300(N) Wireless Router utilizes the 802.11n standard. The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11g standard. It increases the data rate up to 300 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays.

    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. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network.

    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 107 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. 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 Well-known and Registered Ports...

  • Page 116 Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when your dynamic IP address changes. If the period is 0, the router will check the DNS server every 5 min.
