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.
The BiPAC 7300(N) router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and
supports downstream rates of up to 12 or 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 3 Mbps.
Designed for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster
Internet connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications
such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster
than ever before.
The BiPAC 7300(N) supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM
Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over
Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports
VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection, the BiPAC 7300(N) allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by
outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address
Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming
data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block
internal users from accessing the Internet.
