    Chapter 1: Product Introduction to your Router Thank you for purchasing BiPAC 8200N Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines a VDSL modem, VDSL2 router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over a VDSL broadband connection.
  • Page 5 EWAN Besides using VDSL to get connected to the Internet, this router offers its Ethernet port 4 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fiber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online. Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection The router supports PPP over Ethernet, DHCP Client and Fixed IP address to establish a connection with an ISP.
  • Page 6 Quality of Service (QoS) 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. The QoS features are configurable by Internal IP address, External IP address, protocol, and port.

    QoS - Quality of Service QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet and/ or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load. After clicking the QoS item, you can Add/Edit/Delete a QoS policy.

DSCP Marking allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the DSCP value. See DSCP Mapping Table. Note: Make sure that the router(s) in the network backbone are capable to execute and check the DSCP throughout the QoS network.

  • Page 107: Virtual Server

    Virtual Server Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side.

  • Page 109: Port Mapping

    Port Mapping Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from accessed by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g.

Delete: To remove a port mapping application, check the Delete box of the selected application then click the Edit/Delete button.
  • Page 111 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 116: Dynamic Dns

    Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful when hosting servers via your WAN connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than the dynamic IP address which is assigned to you by ISP.
