Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
The BiPAC 7800DXL is a dual-band wireless network device, it utilizes two wireless bands for wireless communications, and offers maximum performance in setting up a network. Its built-in 4port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, supporting high-speed data transfer including a Gigabit WAN port for
Broadband connectivity. The Quality of Service (QoS) feature ensures a smooth net connection for inbound and outbound data transmission with minimal traffic congestion. With the BiPAC 7800DXL, you can create your own mobile hotspot for Wi-Fi access.
Dual-band
A Dual-band Router utilizes two different wireless bands that support connections on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously. The BiPAC 7800DXL is a dual-band router which transmits on two frequency bands-2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously. The two wireless bands are fully independent.
One band can be used for downloading while the other is used for uploading; or one is used for online gaming, video streaming and music downloading while the other takes care of accessing email, file sharing and regular internet surfing. With an integrated 802.11 wireless access point, the router can deliver up to 6 times the speed of an 802.11b/g wireless device. It supports a date rate of up to 300 Mbps with each band and is also compatible with 802.11b/g devices in 2.4GHz and
802.11a in 5GHz.
IPv6 supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed
IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2
128
(about
3.4×10
38
) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing
Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).
Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4
(into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a fundamental interoperability requirement.
Jumbo frames supported
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes (standard Ethernet frame) of payload.
Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9720 bytes of payload to enjoy a high-efficiency communication in Gigabit Ethernet. Jumbo frames increase the frame size so that a certain large amount of date can be transported with less effort, reducing CPU utilization and increasing throughput by reducing the number of frames needing to be processed and reducing the total overhead byte count of all frames sent.

3G/LTE
With 3G/LTE-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G/LTE USB modem), user can access internet through 3G/LTE, whether you are seated at your desk or taking a cross-country trip.
Virtual AP
A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously.
Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.
Web Based GUI
It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the
LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are all lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables.
If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact technical support.
Make sure you have a line filter with all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same telephone line and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or
Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.
If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician to make any necessary changes.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 7 / 98 / NT / 2000 / XP / Me
/ Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).
The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through this router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult your manufacturer documentation.

68
LAN - Local Area Network
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers are connected. This type of network is area defined and is usually limited to a confined region within a building.
Ethernet
Parameters
Group Name: This refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section; you can set the parameters for the specific group. Select the group via the drop-down box. For more information please refer to
Interface Grouping of this manual.
IP address: the IP address of the router. Default is 192.168.1.254.
Subnet Mask: the default Subnet mask on the router.
IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function. Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.”
When enabled, you will see two modes:
Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no client subscribes to a multicast group.
Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there are no client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.
LAN side firewall: Enable to drop all traffic from the specified LAN group interface. After activating it, all incoming packets by default will be dropped, and the user on the specified LAN group interface can't access CPE anymore. But, you can still access the internet service. If user wants to manage the CPE, please turn to
to add the allowing rules. Note that all incoming packets by default will be dropped if the LAN side firewall is enabled and user cannot manage this
69
CPE from the specified LAN group.
DHCP Server

IP Address: Specify an IP address on this virtual interface.
Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.
Click Apply to apply your settings.
71
IPv6 Autoconfig
The IPv6 address composes of two parts, the prefix and the interface ID.
There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is “stateful” configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.
The second way is “stateless” configuration. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an
"interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.
Group Name: Here group refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section, you can set the parameters for the specific group. Select the group by the drop-down box. For more information please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.
Static LAN IPv6 Address Configuration
Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter the static LAN IPv6 address.
IPv6 LAN application
DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.
DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is
72
available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in
LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. Stateful: if selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server.
Start interface ID: Enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.
End interface ID: Enter the end interface ID.
Note: Interface ID does NOT support ZERO COMPRESSION "::". Please enter the complete information.
For example: Please enter "0:0:0:2" instead of "::2".
Leased Time (hour): The leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.
Issue Router Advertisement: Check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically.
ULA Prefix Advertisement: Enable this parameter to include the ipv6 ULA address in the RA messages. ULA, unique local address, is an IPv6 address in the block fc00::/7. It is approximately the IPv6 counterpart of the IPv4 private address. They are not routable in the global IPv6 Internet.
RADVD Type: The way that ULA prefix is generated.
Statically Configured: select to set manually in the following parameters.
Prefix: Set the prefix manually.
Preferred Life Time: The ULA prefix life time. When the time is over, the ULA prefix is invalid any more, -1 means no limit.
Valid Life Time: It is a time threshold, when the time is over, clients should obtain new IPv6 address from the router through RA; -1 means to be limitless.
MLD snooping: Similar to IGMP snooping, listens in on the MLD conversation between hosts and routers by processing MLD packets sent in a multicast network, and it analyzes all MLD packets between hosts and the connected multicast routers in the network. Without MLD snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With
MLD snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.
Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no client subscribes to a multicast group.
Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there is no client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.
73
Stateless and Stateful IPv6 address Configuration
Stateless: Two methods can be carried.
With DHCPv6 disabled, but Issue Router Advertisement Enabled
With this method, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers.
With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled
With this method, the PCs’ addresses in LAN are configured like above method, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
74
Stateful: two methods can be adopted.
With only DHCPv6 enabled
With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same as in IPv4, that is addresses are assigned by DHCPv6 server.
With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled
With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same like above, and the address information in RA packets will be neglected.
75
Interface Grouping
Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch.
Each group will perform as an independent network. To support this feature, you must create mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button.
(Please Note: P4 can be configured as EWAN, and when the device is in EWAN profile, there is no
P4/EWAN interface as P4 is working as a WAN port.)
76
Click Add to add groups.
Group Name: Type a group name.
Grouped WAN Interfaces: Select from the box the WAN interface you want to applied in the group.
Grouped LAN Interfaces: Select the LAN interfaces you want to group as a single group from
Available LAN Interfaces.
Automatically Add Clients with following DHCP Vendor IDs: Enter the DHCP Vendor IDs for which you want the Clients automatically added into the group. DHCP vendor ID (DHCP 60) is an
Authentication for DHCP Messages.
Click Apply to confirm your settings and your added group will be listed in the Interface Grouping table below.
77
In group "test", P2 and PPP0.1 are grouped in one group, they have their only network , see
If you want to remove the group, check the box as the following and press Remove.
Note: If you like to automatically add LAN clients to a WAN Interface in the new group add the
DHCP vendor ID string.
By configuring a DHCP vendor ID string any DHCP client request with the specified vendor
ID (DHCP option 60) will be denied an IP address from the local DHCP server.
If a vendor ID is configured for a specific client device, please REBOOT the client device attached to the modem to allow it to obtain an appropriate IP address.
Each LAN interface can only be added into one group and one WAN interface can only be used in one group.
78
Wireless 2.4G(wl0)
This section provides you ways to configure wireless access. The BiPAC 7800DXL utilizes two radio bands-2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously, to run wireless connection for users. Wl0, operating on
2.4GHz, has sub-items as Basic , Security , MAC Filter , Wireless Bridge , Advanced and Station
Info here. Wl1, running on 5GHz, are to set with the same ways as in Wl0.
Note: The dual-band wireless is simultaneous with different clients, not the same one. Users can freely choose the optimum radio band wireless connection base on your environment.
79
Basic
It let you determine whether to enable Wireless function and set the basic parameters of an AP and the Virtual APs.
Wireless: Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless devices, check the checkbox again to unselect.
Hide SSID: It is function in which transmits its SSID to the air so that when wireless client searches for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Check the checkbox to determine whether you want to hide SSID.
Clients Isolation: if you enabled this function, then each of your wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other.
Disable WMM Advertise: Stop the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM) functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).
Check to disable or enable this function.
Wireless multicast Forwarding (WMF): check to enable or disable wireless multicast forwarding.
SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.
For security purpose, change the default wlan-ap-2.4g to a unique ID name to the AP already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.
Note: SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
BSSID: Basic Set Service Identifier, it is a local managed IEEE MAC address, and is 48 bits value.
Country: Different countries have different wireless band resources, so you can select the appropriate Country according to your location.
Max Clients: enter the number of max clients the wireless network can supports,1-16.
Guest/virtual Access Points: A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical
Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA
80
simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual
AP.
Here you can enable some Virtual APs according to the request. And the other parameters of virtual
APs are the same to the above.
Click Apply to apply your settings.

Wireless Bridge
WDS (wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access points. It’s easy to install, simply define the peer’s MAC address of the connected AP. WDS takes advantage of cost saving and flexibility with no extra wireless client device required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless infrastructure network to create a larger network.
Here you can select what role the AP server has, AP or wireless bridge (WDS).
AP Mode: determines whether the gateway will act as an Access point or as a Bridge.
Access Point: the gateway communicates with both clients and bridges.
Wireless Bridge: the gateway communicates with other WDS devices only. In this mode, the gateway doesn’t communicate with client devices.
If your wireless network includes repeaters that use WDS, the gateway in wireless bridge mode will also communicate with your repeaters. The gateway in wireless bridge mode will not communicate with a repeater that uses a proprietary (non-WDS) mode.
Bridge Restrict: When AP Mode is set to Wireless Bridge, this determines whether the gateway will communicate with all other bridges or only specific ones:
Enable: to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those specified in the Remote MAC
Address the gateway can communicate with.
Remote Bridge MAC Address: enter the remote bridge MAC addresses. Here up to 4 bridge
MAC addresses are supported.
Enabled (Scan): to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those scanned by the gateway can communicate.
95
Remote Bridge MAC Address: select the remote bridge MAC addresses.
Disable: Does not restrict the gateway communicating with bridges that have their MAC address listed, but it is still open to communicate with all bridges that are in the same network.
Click Apply to apply your settings.

Save feature activates itself.
Multicast Rate: Setting for multicast packets transmission rate.
Basic Rate: Setting for basic transmission rate. It is not a specific kind of rate, it is a series of rates supported. When set to Default, the router can transmit with all kinds of standardized rates.
Fragmentation Threshold: A threshold (in bytes) whether the packets will be fragmented and at what size. Packets succeeding the fragmentation threshold of 802.11n WLAN will be split into smaller units suitable for circuit size. While the packets smaller than fragmentation threshold will not be fragmented. Default is 2346, setting the fragmentation too low may result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold: Request to Send (RTS) threshold specifies the packet size, when exceeds the size, the RTS/CTS will be triggered. The default setting of 2347(max length) will disable the RTS.
DTIM Interval: Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). The entry range is a value between 1 and 255. A DTIM is countdown variable that informs clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. AP clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1.
Beacon Interval: The amount of time between beacon transmissions in is milliseconds. The default is 100ms and the acceptable is 1- 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the presence of an access point.
Global Max Clients: Here you have the option of setting the limit of the number of clients who can connect to your wireless network.
XPress™ Technology: It has been designed to improve the wireless network efficiency. Default is disabled.

122
SNR
Signal-to-noise ratio (often abbreviated SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power.
SNR: Change the value to adjust the DSL link rate, more suitable for an advanced user.
123
System
Internet Time
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) to get the most current time from an NTP server.
NTP is a protocol for synchronization of computers. It can enable computers synchronize to the NTP server or clock source with a high accuracy.
Choose the NTP time server from the drop-down menu, if you prefer to specify an NTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Choose your local time zone from the drop-down menu. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the NTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an NTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an NTP server for you to use.
Click Apply to apply your settings.

DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a non-profit collaborative trade organization established by Sony in June 2003, which is responsible for defining interoperability guidelines to enable sharing of digital media between consumer devices such as computers, printers, cameras, cell phones and other multiple devices.
DLNA uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for media management, discovery and control. UPnP defines the types of devices (‘server’, ‘renderer’, ‘controller’) that DLNA supports and the mechanism for accessing media over a network.
Overall, DLNA allows more convenience, more choices and enjoyment of your digital content through DLNA certified devices. Any DLNA certified devices or software can access the DLNA server.
With USB storage, 7800DXL can serve as a DLNA server.
On-board digital media server: Enable to share the device as a DLNA server.
Interface: The VLAN group, it is the bound interface for DLNA server accessing.

IP Tunnel
An IP Tunnel is an Internet Protocol (IP) network communication channels between two networks of different protocols. It is used to transport another network protocol by encapsulation of its packets.
IP Tunnels are often used to connect two disjoint IP networks that do not have a native routing path to each other, via an underlying routable protocol across an intermediate transport network, like VPN.
Another prominent use of IP Tunnel is to connect islands of IPv6 installations across the IPv4 internet.
IPv6inIPv4
6in4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6. 6in4 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 traffic over explicitly configured IPv4 links. The 6in4 traffic is sent over the IPv4
Internet inside IPv4 packets whose IP headers have the IP Protocol number set to 41. This protocol number is specifically designated for Ipv6 capsulation.
6RD:
6RD is a mechanism to facilitate IPv6 rapid deployment across IPv4 infrastructures of internet service providers (ISPs).
It is derived from 6to4, a preexisting mechanism to transporting IPv6 packets over IPv4 infrastructure network, with the significant change that it operates entirely within the enduser’s ISP network, thus avoiding the major architectural problems inherent in the original design of 6to4.
Click Add button to manually add the 6in4 rules.
Tunnel Name: User-defined name.
Mechanism: Here only 6RD.
143
Associated WAN Interface: The applied WAN interface with the set tunnel, thus when there are packets from/to the WAN interface, the tunnel would be used to transport the packets.
Associated LAN Interface: Set the linked LAN interface with the tunnel.
Method: 6rd operation mechanism: manually configured or automatically configured. If manually, please fill out the following 6rd parameters.
V4 Common Bit Length: Specify the length of IPv4 address carried in IPv6 prefix, for example, 0 means to carry all the 32 bits of IPv4 address while 8 carries 24 bits of the IPv4 address.
6rd Prefix with Prefix Length: Enter the 6rd prefix and prefix length you uniquely designate to 6rd by the ISP( The 6rd prefix and prefix length are to replace the standard 6to4 prefix 2002::/16 by an
IPv6 prefix that belongs to the ISP-assigned.)
Border Relay IPv4 Address: The IPv4 address of the border relay. The relay is used to unwrap capsulated IPv4 packets into IPv6 packets and send them to the IPv6 network.
144
IPv4inIPv6
4in6 refers to tunneling of IPv4 in Ipv6. It is an inherent internet interoperation mechanism allowing
IPv4 to be used in an IPv6 only network.
4in6 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv4 traffic over configured IPv6 tunnels. 4in6 tunnels are usually manually configured but they can be automated using protocols such as TSP to allow easy connection to a tunnel broker.
DS – Lite
DS –Lite, or Dual-Stack Lite, is designed to let an ISP omit the deployment of any IPv4 address to the customer’s CPE. Instead, only global IPv6 addresses are provided (Regular Dual-Stack Lite deploys global addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6).
The CPE distributes private IPv4 addresses for the LAN clients, the same as a NAT device. The subnet information is chosen by the customer, identically to the NAT model. However, instead of performing the NAT itself, the CPE encapsulates the IPv4 packet inside an IPv6 packet.
Click Add button to manually add the 4in6 rules.
Tunnel Name: User-defined tunnel name.
Mechanism: It is the 4in6 tunnel operation technology. Please select DS-Lite.
Associated WAN Interface: The applied WAN interface with the set tunnel, and when there are packets from/to the WAN interface, the tunnel would be used to transport the packets.
Associated LAN Interface: Specify the linked LAN interface with the tunnel.
Remote IPv6 Address: Specify the remote IPv6 address. The remote relay is used to unwrap capsulated IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets, and do the NAT before sending them to the IPv4 network.
145
Security
IP Filtering Outgoing
IP filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet.
The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken.
Outbound IP Filtering by default is set to forward all outgoing traffic from LAN to go through the router, but user can set rules to block the specific outgoing traffic.
Note: The maximum number of entries: 32.
Click Add button to enter the exact rule setting page.
Filter Name: A user-defined rule name. User can select simply from the list box for the application for quick setup.
IP Version: Select the IP Version, IPv4 or IPv6.
Protocol: Set the traffic type (TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, ICMP ) that the rule applies to.
Source IP address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es) featured in the IP range. If you leave empty, it means any IP address.
Source Port [port or port:port]: The port or port range defines traffic from the port (specific application) or port in the set port range blocked to go through the router. Default is set port from range 1 – 65535.
Destination IP address: Traffic from LAN with the particular traffic destination address specified in the IP range is to be blocked from going through the router, similarly set as the Source IP address above.
146
Destination Port [port or port: port]: Traffic with the particular set destination port or port in the set port range is to be blocked from going through the router. Default is set port from port range: 1 –
65535.
Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00 of Sun to 19:00 of Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works.
And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled. See
.
.
Example: For example, if there is an outgoing rule set as follows, then the 21 application between source IP and destination IP will be blocked. Or exactly in the rule below, all traffic trying to access
FTP will be blocked.
147
IP Filtering Incoming
Incoming IP Filtering is set by default to block all incoming traffic, but user can set rules to forward the specific incoming traffic.
Note:
1. The maximum number of entries: 32.
2. When LAN side firewall or firewall in WAN interface(s) is enabled, user can move here to add allowing rules to pass through the firewall.
Click Add button to enter the exact rule setting page.
Filter Name: A user-defined rule name. User can select simply from the list box for the application for quick setup.
IP Version: Select the IP Version, IPv4 or IPv6.
Protocol: Set the traffic type (TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP, ICMP ) that the rule applies to.
Source IP address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es) featured in the IP range.. If you leave empty, it means any IP address.
Source Port [port or port:port]: The port or port range defines traffic from the port (specific application) or port in the set port range blocked to go through the router. Default is set port from range 1 – 65535.
Destination IP address: Traffic from LAN with the particular traffic destination address specified in the IP range is to be blocked from going through the router, similarly set as the Source IP address above.
Destination Port [port or port : port]: Traffic with the particular set destination port or port in the set port range is to be blocked from going through the router. Default is set port from port range: 1 –
65535
Interfaces: Check if the filter rule applies to all interfaces. User can base on need select interfaces to make the rule take effect with those interfaces.
148
Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00 of Sun to 19:00 of Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works.
And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled. See

QoS - Quality of Service
QoS helps you to control the data upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet) to WAN
(Internet). This feature allows you to control the quality and speed of throughput for each application when the system is running with full upstream load.
Note: ADSL line speed is based on the ADSL sync rate. But there is no QoS on 3G/LTE as the
3G/LTE line speed is various and can not be known exactly.
EWAN Line Speed
Upstream / Downstream: Specify the upstream and downstream rate of the EWAN interface.
Click Apply to save the EWAN rate settings.
Click Add to enter QoS rules.
IP Version: Select either IPv4 or IPv6 base on need.
Application: Assign a name that identifies the new QoS application rule. Select from the list box for quick setup.

LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic from local network to the outside (Upstream).
You can assign the priority for the application or you can limit the rate of the application.
Eg: you have a FTP server inside the local network, and you want to have a limited control by the QoS policy and so you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting.
WAN to LAN: Control traffic from WAN to LAN (Downstream).
Protocol: Select the supported protocol from the drop down list.
DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte.
DSCP Marking allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the

Rate Type: You can choose Limited or Prioritization.
Limited (Maximum): Specify a limited data rate for this policy. It also is the maximum rate for this policy. When you choose Limited, type the Ratio proportion. 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.
Prioritization: Specify the rate type control for the rule to used. If you choose Prioritization for the rule, you parameter Priority would be available, you can set the priority for this rule.
Ratio: The rate percent of each application/policy compared to total traffic on the interface with limited rate type. For example, we want to only allow 20% of the total data for the LAN-to-WAN direction to be used for FTP server. Then we can specify here with data ratio = 20. If you have ADSL
LINE with 256K/bps.rate, the estimated data rate, in kbps, for this rule is 20%*256*0.9 = 46kbps.
(For 0.9 is an estimated factor for the effective data transfer rate for an ADSL LINE from LAN to
WAN. For WAN-to-LAN, it is 0.85 to 0.8)
Priority: Set the priority given to each policy/application. Specify the priority for the use of bandwidth.
You can specify which application can have higher priority to acquire the bandwidth.
Its default setting is set to Normal. You may adjust this setting to fit your policy / application.
Internal IP Address: The IP address values for Local LAN devices you want to give control.
Internal Port: The Port number on the LAN side, it is used to identify an application.
External IP Address: The IP address on remote / WAN side.
External Port: The Port number on the remote / WAN side.
158
Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the rule works. When set to “Always On”, the rule will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when the rule works, like 01:00 of Sun to 19:00 of Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in “Time Schedule” during which the rule works.
And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled. See
.
159
Examples: Common usage
1. Give outgoing VoIP traffic more priority.
The default queue priority is normal, so if you have VoIP users in your local network, you can set a higher priority to the outgoing VoIP traffic.
2. Give regular web http access a limited rate
160
3. If you are actively engaged in P2P and are afraid of slowing down internet access for other users within your network, you can then use QoS to set a rule that has low priority. In this way, P2P application will not congest the data transmission with other applications.
Other applications, like FTP, Mail access, users can use QoS to control based on need.
161
NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) feature translates a private IP to a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the Internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. It is a natural firewall for the private network.
Virtual Servers
In TCP/IP 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”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them.
If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and
P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server.
The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your
PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.
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.
This part is only available when NAT is enabled.
Note: The maximum number of entries: 64.
It is virtual server listing table as you see, Click Add to move on.

ALG
The ALG Controls enable or disable protocols over application layer.
165
Port Triggering
Port triggering is a way to automate port forwarding with outbound traffic on predetermined ports
(‘triggering ports’), incoming ports are dynamically forwarded to the initiating host, while the outbound ports are in use. Port triggering triggers can open an incoming port when a client on the local network makes an outgoing connection on a predetermined port or a range of ports.
Click Add to add a port triggering rule.
Interface: Select from the drop-down menu the interface you want the port triggering rules apply to.
Application: Preinstalled applications or Custom Application user can customize the utility yourself.
Custom Application: It is a kind of service to let users themselves customizes the service they want. Enter the user-defined service name here.
Trigger Port
Start: Enter a port number as the triggering port starting number.
End: Enter a port number as the triggering port ending number.
Any port in the range delimited by the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ would be the trigger port.
166
Open port
Start: Enter a port number as the open port staring number.
End: Enter a port number as the open port ending number.
Any port in the range delimited by the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ would be the preset forwarding port or open port.
Protocol: select the protocol this service used: TCP/UDP, TCP, UDP.
Set up
An example of how port triggering works, when a client behind a NAT router connecting to Aim Talk, it is a TCP connection with the default port 4099.
When connecting to Aim Talk, the client typically makes an outgoing connection on port 4099 to the
Aim Talk server, but when the computer is behind the NAT, the NAT silently drops this connection because it does not know which computer behind the NAT to send the request to connect.
So, in this case, port triggering in the router is working, when an outbound connection is attempted on port 4099 (or any port in the range set), it should allow inbound connections to that particular computer.
1. Select a Server Name from the drop-down menu, then the port will automatically appear, modify some as you like, or you can just leave it as default. Remember to enter your server IP Address.
2. Press Apply to conform, and the items will be list in the Virtual Servers Setup table.
167
Remove
If you don’t need a specified Server, you can remove it. Check the check box beside the item you want to remove, and then press Remove.
168
DMZ Host
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 will be checked by Firewall and NAT algorithms before being passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries.
DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP Address of a host you want it to be a DMZ host. Select from the list box to quick set the DMZ.
Time Schedule: Select or set exactly when the DMZ works. When set to “Always On”, the DMZ will work all time; and also you can set the precise time when DMZ works, like 01:00 of Sun to 19:00 of
Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in Time Schedule during which the DMZ works.
And when set to “Disable”, the rule is disabled. See
.
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” protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC.
Attention
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring
Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.
169
One-to-One NAT
One-to-One NAT maps a specific private/local address to a global/public IP address. If user has multiple global/public IP addresses from your ISP, you are free to use one-to-one NAT to assign some specific public IP for an internal IP like a public web server mapped with a global/public IP for outside access.
Valid: Check whether to valid the one-to-one NAT mapping rule.
WAN Interface: Select one based WAN interface to configure the one-to-one NAT.
Global IP address: The Global IP mapped to an internal device. It can be left empty, and under this circumstance, it can be reached through the WAN IP of interface set in the field above.
Internal Address: The IP address of an internal device in the LAN.
For example, you have an ADSL connection of pppoe_0_8_35/ppp0.1 interface with three fixed global IP, and you then can assign the other two global IPs to two internal devices respectively.
If you have a WEB server (IP address: 192.168.1.3) and a FTP server (IP address: 192.168.1.4) in local network, owning a public IP address range of 123.1.1.2 to 123.1.1.4 assigned by ISP. 123.1.1.2 is used as WAN IP address of the router, 123.1.1.3 is used for WEB server and 123.1.1.4 is used for
FTP server. With One-to-One NAT, the servers with private IP addresses can be accessed at the corresponding valid public IP addresses.

Use the following Static IPv6 DNS address
Primary IPv6 DNS Server / Secondary IPv6 DNS Server: type the specific primary and secondary
IPv6 DNS Server address.
178
Dynamic DNS
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. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es).
Click Add to register a WAN interface with the exact DNS.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Interface: Select the Interface that is bound to the registered Domain name.
Host Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username and password for this service.

182
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.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and
Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
UPnP:
Enable: Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.

Multicast
Multicast is one of the three network transmission modes, Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast. It is a transmission mode that supports point-to-multipoint connections between the sender and the recipient. IGMP protocol is used to establish and maintain the relationship between IP host and the host directly connected multicast router.
IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol, it is a communications protocols used to manage the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and the adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group members. There are three versions for IGMP, that is IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3.
MLD, short for Multicast Listener Discovery protocol, is a component if the Internet Protocol version 6(IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 to discover multicast listeners on a directly attached link, much as IGMP used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate protocol. MLDv1 is similar to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is similar to IGMPv3.

This is very helpful if user wants fast channel (group change) changing in cases like IPTV environment.
LAN to LAN (Intra LAN) Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)
Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he want to get MLD snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled.
194
Management
SNMP Agent
SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is the most popular one in network. It consists of
SNMP Manager，SNMP Agent and MIB. Every network device supporting SNMP will have a SNMP
Agent which is a management software running in the device.
SNMP Manager, the management software running on the server, it uses SNMP protocol to send
GetRequest、GetNextRequest, SetRequest message to Agent to view and change the information of the device.
SNMP Agents, the management software running in the device, accepts the message from the manager, Reads or Writes the management variable in MIB accordingly and then generates
Response message to send it to the manager. Also, agent will send Trap message to the manager when agent finds some exceptions.
Trap message, is the message automatically sent by the managed device without request to the manager about the emergency events.
SNMP Agent: enable or disable SNMP Agent.
Read Community: Type the Get Community, which is the authentication for the incoming Get-and
GetNext requests from the management station.
Set Community: Type the Set Community, which is the authentication for incoming Set requests from the management station.
System Name: here it refers to your router.
System Location: user-defined location.
System Contact: user-defined contact message.
Trap manager IP: enter the IP address of the server receiving the trap sent by SNMP agent.
195
TR- 069 Client
TR-069 (short for Technical Report 069) is a DSL Forum (which was later renamed as Broadband
Forum) technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the booming broadband market, the number of different internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones).At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated –too complicated for end-users. For this reason, TR-069 was developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of the access types.
Using TR-069 the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically.
Inform: select enable to let CPE be authorized to send Inform message to automatically connect to
ACS.
Inform Interval: Specify the inform interval time (sec) which CPE used to periodically send inform message to automatically connect to ACS. When the inform interval time arrives, the CPE will send inform message to automatically connect to ACS.
ACS URL: Enter the ACS server login name.
ACS User Name: Specify the ACS User Name for ACS authentication to the connection from CPE.
ACS password: Enter the ACS server login password.
WAN interface used by TR-069: select the interface used by TR-069.
Display SOAP message on serial console: select whether to display SOAP message on serial console.
Connection Request Authentication: Check to enable connection request authentication feature.
Connection Request User Name: Enter the username for ACS server to make connection request.
Connection Request User Password: Enter the password for ACS server to make connection request.
Connection Request URL: Automatically match the URL for ACS server to make connection request.
196
GetRPCMethods：Supported by both CPE and ACS, display the supported RFC listing methods.
Click Apply to apply your settings.
197
Remote Access
It is to allow remote access to the router to view or configure.
Remote Access: Select “Enable” to allow management access from remote side (mostly from internet). If disabled, no remote access is allowed for any IPs even if you set allowed access IP address. So, please note that enabling remote access is an essential step before granting remote access to IPs.
" Allowed Access IP Address Range " was used to restrict which IP address could login to access system web GUI.
Valid: Enable/Disable Allowed Access IP Address Range
IP Address Range: Specify the IP address Range, IPv4 and IPv6 address range can be supported, users can set IPv4 and IPv6 address range individually.
Click Add to add an IP Range to allow remote access.
Note: 1. If user wants to grant remote access to IPs, first enable Remote Access.
2. Remote Access enabled:
1) Enable Valid for the specific IP(s) in the IP range to allow the specific IP(s) to remote access the router.
2) Disable Valid for all specific IP(s) in the IP range to allow any IP(s) to remote access the router.
3) No listing of IP range is to allow any IP(s) to remote access the router.
198
Power Management
Power management is a feature of some electrical appliances, especially computers that turn off the power or switch to a low-power state when inactive.
Five main parameters are listed for users to check to manage the performance of the router.
199
Time Schedule
The Time Schedule supports up to 32 timeslots which helps you to manage your Internet connection.
In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications.
This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board; it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an
SNTP server from the Internet. Refer to Internet Times for details. You router time should correspond

Fault Management
IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is a standard defined by IEEE. It defines protocols and practices for OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) for paths through
802.1 bridges and local area networks (LANs). Fault Management is to uniquely test the VDSL PTM connection; Push service
Maintenance Domain (MD) Level: Maintenance Domains (MDs) are management spaces on a network, typically owned and operated by a single entity. MDs are configured with Names and
Levels, where the eight levels range from 0 to 7. A hierarchal relationship exists between domains based on levels. The larger the domain, the higher the level value.
Maintenance End Point: Points at the edge of the domain, define the boundary for the domain. A
MEP sends and receives CFM frames through the relay function, drops all CFM frames of its level or lower that come from the wire side.
Link Trace: Link Trace messages otherwise known as Mac Trace Route are Multicast frames that a
MEP transmits to track the path (hop-by-hop) to a destination MEP which is similar in concept to
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Trace Route. Each receiving MEP sends a Trace route Reply directly to the Originating MEP, and regenerates the Trace Route Message.
Loop-back: Loop-back messages otherwise known as MaC ping are Unicast frames that a MEP transmits, they are similar in concept to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo (Ping) messages, sending Loopback to successive MIPs can determine the location of a fault. Sending a high volume of Loopback Messages can test bandwidth, reliability, or jitter of a service, which is similar to flood ping. A MEP can send a Loopback to any MEP or MIP in the service. Unlike CCMs,
Loop back messages are administratively initiated and stopped.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
If your router is not functioning properly, please refer to the suggested solutions provided in this chapter. If your problems persist or the suggested solutions do not meet your needs, please kindly contact your service provider or Billion for support.
Problems with the router
Problem Suggested Action
None of the LEDs is on when you turn
on the router
Check the connection between the router and the adapter. If the problem persists, most likely it is due to the malfunction of your hardware. Please contact your service provider or Billion for technical support.
You have forgotten your login username
or password
Try the default username "admin" and password
"admin". If this fails, you can restore your router to its factory settings by pressing the reset button on the device rear side.
Problems with WAN interface
Problem Suggested Action
Frequent loss of ADSL line sync
(disconnections)
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections. If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician to make any necessary changes.
205
Problem with LAN interface
Problem
Cannot PING any PC on LAN
Suggested Action
Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel.
The LED should be on for the port that has a PC connected. If it does not lit, check to see if the cable between your router and the PC is properly connected. Make sure you have first uninstalled your firewall program before troubleshooting.
Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consistent for both the router and the workstations.
