Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router QoS (Quality of Service) QoS function helps you to control your network traffic for each application from LAN (Ethernet and/or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you to control the different quality and speed of through put for each application when the system is running with full loading of upstream. You can find two items under the QoS section: Prioritization and IP Throttling (bandwidth management).
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router Prioritization There are three priority settings to be provided in the modem: High Normal (The default is normal priority for all of traffic without setting). Low The trigger of check can base on IP protocol, port number and address. And the balance of utilization of each priorities are High(60%), Normal(30%) and Low(10%). Enable: Select it to activate the function. Application: A name that identifies an existing rule.
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router IP Throttling IP Throttling allows you to limit the speed of IP traffic. The value entered will limit the speed of the application that you set to the specified value’s multiple of 32kbps. The trigger of check can base on IP protocol, port number and address as well. Enable: Select it to activate the function. Application: A name that identifies an existing rule. Protocol: The name of supported protocol.
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router Virtual Server (“Port Forwarding”) 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.

Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to the local server (PC) with the IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you need to add it manually. In addition to specifying the port number to be used, you will also need to specify the protocol used.
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router Advanced Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff. There are four items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Dynamic DNS, Checking Email and Device Management.
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router 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 SHDSL 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.
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router Check Emails This function allows you to have the router check your POP3 mailbox for new Email messages. The Mail LED on your router will light when it detects new messages waiting for download. You may also view the status of this function using the Status – Email Checking section of the web interface, which also provides details on the number of new messages waiting. See the Status section of this manual for more information.
Billion BIPAC-8500 / 8520 SHDSL VPN Firewall Bridge / Router Device Management The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s security options and device monitoring features. Embedded Web Server: HTTP Port: This is the port number the router’s embedded web server (for web-based configuration) will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN.
