Configuration When you click this item, the column will expand to display the sub-items that will allow you to further configure your router. LAN, Wireless 2.4G (wl0), Wireless 5G (wl1), WAN, System, USB, IP Tunnel, Security, Quality of Service, NAT and Wake On LAN. The function of each configuration sub-item is described in the following sections.
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.
CPE from the specified LAN group. DHCP Server You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses automatically. Disable Disable the DHCP Server function. Enable Enable the DHCP function, enter the information wanted. Here as default.
Enter the MAC Address, IP Address, and then click Apply to confirm your settings. But the IP assigned should be outside the range of 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199. IP Alias This function allows the creation of multiple virtual IP interfaces on this router. It helps to connect two or more local networks to the ISP or remote node. IP Alias: Check whether to enable this function. IP Address: Specify an IP address on this virtual interface. Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In group "test", P2 and PPP0.1 are grouped in one group, they have their only network , see LAN. 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.
Wireless 2.4G(wl0) This section provides you ways to configure wireless access. The BiPAC 7800DX(L) 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, Station Info and Schedule Control 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.
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. Enable Wireless Hotspot2.0: Make sure you use the WPA2 security mechanism. Move to WPA2. Enable to use the Hotsport2.0, same operation as with WPA2.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 - 19:00 from Monday to Friday.
(Rule inactive) 155
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.
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 - 19:00 from Monday to 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 or inactive and there will be an icon” ” in the list table indicating the rule is inactive. See Time Schedule.
MAC Filtering MAC Filtering is only effective on ATM PVCs configured in Bridged mode. FORWARDED means that all MAC layer frames will be forwarded except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table. BLOCKED means that all MAC layer frames will be blocked except those matching with any of the specified rules in the following table.
Blocking WAN PING This feature is enabled to let your router not respond to any ping command when someone others “Ping” your WAN IP.
Time Restriction A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure the network to block specific machines from accessing your LAN during the specified time. This page adds time of day restriction to a special LAN device connected to the router.
An example: Here you can see that the user “child_use” with a MAC of 18:a9:05:04:12:23 is blocked to access the router from 00:00 to 23:59 Monday through Friday. If you needn’t this rule, you can check the box, press Remove, it will be OK.
URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http://www.example.com) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites by their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements. Note: 1) URL Filter rules apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 sources. 2) But in Exception IP Address part, user can click IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

To use parental control (DNS), user needs to configure to use parental control (DNS provided by parental control provider) to access internet at WAN configuration or DNS page(See DNS).
QoS - Quality of Service 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.
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 DSCP value.
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. 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 - 19:00 from Monday to Friday.
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.
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.
QoS Port Shaping QoS port shaping supports traffic shaping of Ethernet interfaces. It forcefully maximizes the throughput of the Ethernet interface. When “Shaping Rate” is set to “-1”, no shaping will be in place and the “Burst Size” is to be ignored. Interface: P1-P4. P4 used as EWAN also covered. Type: All LAN when P4 is LAN port; P4 used as EWAN, type WAN and all others LAN. QoS Shaping Rate (Kbps): Set the forcefully maximum rate. Burst Size(Bytes): Set the forcefully Burst Size.
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. Exceptional Rule Exceptional Rule is dedicated to giving or blocking NAT/DMZ access to some specific IP or IPs(range). Default Action: Select “Allow” to grant access to the listed IP or IPs to Virtual Server and DMZ Host.
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.
The following configuration page will appear to let you configure. Interface: select from the drop-down menu the interface you want the virtual server(s) to apply. Server Name: select the server name from the drop-down menu. Custom Service: It is a kind of service to let users customize the service they want. Enter the userdefined service name here. It is a parameter only available when users select Custom Service in the above parameter. Server IP Address: Enter your server IP Address here.
Set up 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

WAN Interface: Select the set used interface for the IPSec connection, when you select adsl pppoe_0_0_35/ppp0.1 interface, the IPSec tunnel would transmit data via this interface to connect to the remote peer.
Pre-Shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic can be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts).
and authentication key will be exchanged. Enter a value to negotiate and establish secure authentication. Default is 60 minutes (3600 seconds). A short time increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time when the VPN tunnel re- negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected. Ping for Keep Alive: Select the operation methods: None: The default setting is “None”. To this mode, it will not detect the remote IPSec peer has been lost or not.

DNS DNS, Domain Name System, is a distributed database of TCP/IP application. DNS provides translation of Domain name to IP. DNS IPv4 Three ways to set an IPv4 DNS server Select DNS server from available WAN interfaces: Select a desirable WAN interface as the IPv4 DNS server. User the following Static DNS IP address: To specify DNS server manually by entering your primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
Primary IPv6 DNS Server / Secondary IPv6 DNS Server: Type the specific primary and secondary IPv6 DNS Server address.
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.
User can register different DDNS to different interfaces. Examples: Note first users have to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account. User test register two Dynamic Domain Names in DDNS provider http://www.dyndns.org/ . 1. pppoe_0_8_35 with DDNS: www.hometest.
2. ipoe_eth0 with DDNS: www.hometest1.com using username/password test/test.

DNS Proxy: Select whether to enable or disable DNS Proxy function, default is enabled. Host name of the Broadband Router: Enter the host name of the router. Default is home.gateway. Domain name of the LAN network: Enter the domain name of the LAN network. home.
Static DNS Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS; in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static without change. You can map the specific IP to a user-friendly domain name. In LAN, you can map a PC to a domain name for convenient access. Or you can set some well-known Internet IP mapping item so your router will response quickly for your DNS query instead of querying from the ISP’s DNS server. Host Name: Type the domain name (host name) for the specific IP .
Static ARP ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol that allows the resolution of network layer addresses into the link layer addresses. And “Static ARP” here allows user to map manually the layer-3 MAC (Media Access Control) address to the layer-2 IP address of the device. IP Address: Enter the IP of the device that the corresponding MAC address will be mapped to. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address that corresponds to the IP address of the device. Click Add to confirm the settings.
