Introduction the BIPAC-5100/5100W

802.11b is only supported for the BIPAC-5100W

1.1 Introducing the BIPAC-5100/5100W

Welcome to the Billion BIPAC-5100(W) Router. Your Billion router is an “all-in-one” unit,
combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch, providing
everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet
over your ADSL broadband connection.
The BIPAC-5100/5100W integrates high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN
interface(s) and a high-speed ADSL port into a single package.
The BIPAC-5100W provides a wireless LAN connectivity allowing users to enjoy the
convenience and mobility of working anywhere within the coverage area.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface provides easy management and is
totally independent of the operating system platform you use.

1.2 Features of the BIPAC-5100/5100W

ADSL Multi-Mode Standard

Supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It also supports rate management that
allows ADSL subscribers to select an Internet access speed suiting their needs
and budgets. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2;
G.dmt(G.992.1); G.lite(G992.2)). The Annex A and B are supported in different
H/W platforms.

Wireless Ethernet 802.11b (5100W Only)

Provides a wireless Ethernet 802.11b access point for extending the
communication media to WLAN.

Fast Ethernet Switch

1
 A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching
between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports. An Ethernet
straight or cross-over cable can be used directly for auto detection.

Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection

Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483
encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) and
IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also
supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Quick Installation Wizard

Supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end
users can enter the information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the
Internet immediately.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal
This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among
stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network
simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the
Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data
transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now
connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet
simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many
application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP,
Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
Firewall
Supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking
access from Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and ICMP.

Domain Name System (DNS) relay

Provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such
as www.yahoo.com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server
with this router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC
to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static
hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use
the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like
http://www.dyndns.org/.

SUA (“port forwarding”)

2
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can
detect incoming service requests and forward either a single port or a range of
ports to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a
PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network.
Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is protected by NAT.
A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside
network, Internet.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client and server

In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a
range of client IP addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet
mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to
manage the local IP network.

RIP1/2 Routing
Supports RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

Web based GUI

Supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly
and comes with on-line 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.

Rich management interfaces

Supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and
WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to
configure and manage the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN
or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Basic Installation

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a
standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows
98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface
for configuration.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router
either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and
configured 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 problems accessing
the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software
firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP
address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect
their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of
all, please check your PC’s 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.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with

or through the BIPAC-5100(W). To configure other types of
workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.

To edit an address mapping rule, click the rule’s link in the NAT Address Mapping Rules
screen to display the screen shown next.

Type:
1-1: One-to-one mode maps one local IP address to one global IP address. Note that
port numbers do not change for the One-to-one NAT mapping type.
M-1: Many-to-One mode maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address.
This is equivalent to SUA (i.e., PAT, port address translation), Billion's Single User
Account feature that previous Billion routers supported only.
M-M Ov (Overload): Many-to-Many Overload mode maps multiple local IP addresses
to shared global IP addresses.
MM No (No Overload): Many-to-Many No Overload mode maps each local IP address
to unique global IP addresses.
Server: This type allows you to specify inside servers of different services behind the
NAT to be accessible to the outside world.
Local Start IP: This is the starting Inside Local IP Address (ILA). Local IP
addresses are N/A for Server port mapping.
Local End IP: This is the end Inside Local IP Address (ILA). If your rule is for all
local IP addresses, then enter 0.0.0.0 as the Local Start IP address and
255.255.255.255 as the Local End IP address. This field is N/A for One-to-one and
Server mapping types.
Global Start IP: This is the starting Inside Global IP Address (IGA). Enter 0.0.0.0

29
here if you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP.
Global End IP: This is the ending Inside Global IP Address (IGA). This field is N/A
for One-to-one, Many-to-One and Server mapping types.
Server Mapping Set: Only available when Type is set to Server.
Select a number from 1 to 10 from the drop-down menu to choose a server set from the
NAT - Address Mapping Rules screen.
Edit Details: Click this link to go to the NAT - Edit SUA/NAT Server Set screen to edit a
server set that you have selected in the Server Mapping Set field.

4.2.6 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.

You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider
using their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/

Active: Select this check box to use dynamic DNS.

Service Provider: Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.

30
 Host Name: Type the domain name assigned to your BIPAC-5100/5100W by your
Dynamic DNS provider.
E-mail Address: Type your e-mail address.
User: Type your user name.
Password: Type the password assigned to you.
Enable Wildcard: Select this check box to enable DYNDNS Wildcard.

4.2.7 Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside
your network. Choose your local time zone. After a successful connection to the
Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server you have
specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list,
simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for
you to use.

Time Server:
Use Time Server when Bootup: Select the time service protocol that your time
server sends when you turn on the Router. Not all time servers support all protocols, so

31
you may have to check with your ISP/network administrator or use trial and error to find
a protocol that works.
The main difference between them is the format.
Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.
Time (RFC 868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of seconds
since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.
The default, NTP (RFC 1305), is similar to Time (RFC 868).
Select None to enter the time and date manually.
Time Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of your time server. Check with your
ISP/network administrator if you are unsure of this information.
Time Zone: Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference
between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Daylight Savings: Select this option if you use daylight savings time. Daylight
saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their clocks
ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.
Start Date: Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time starts on if you
selected Daylight Savings.
End Date: Enter the month and day that your daylight-savings time ends on if you
selected Daylight Savings.
Calibrate system clock with Time Server now: Click this button to have your
Router use the time server (that you configured above) to set its internal system clock.
Please wait for up to 60 seconds while the BIPAC-5100/5100W locates the time server.
If the BIPAC-5100/5100W cannot find the time server, please check the time server
protocol and its IP address. If the IP address was entered correctly, try pinging it for
example to test the connection.
Date
Current Date: This field displays the date of your BIPAC-5100/5100W.
Each time you reload this page, the router synchronizes the time with the time server.
New Date (yyyy-mm-dd): This field displays the last updated date from the time
server.When you select None in the Use Time Server when Bootup field, enter the
new date in this field and then click Apply.
Time
Current Time: This field displays the time of your router. Each time you reload this
page, the BIPAC-5100/5100W synchronizes the time with the time server.
New Time: This field displays the last updated time from the time server.
When you select None in the Use Time Server when Bootup field, enter the new time
in this field and then click Apply.

32
4.2.8 Remote Management

Server Type: Each of these labels denotes a service that you may use to remotely
manage the BIPAC-5100/5100W.
Access Status: Select the access interface. Choices are All, LAN Only, WAN
Only and Disable.
Port: This field shows the port number for the remote management service. You
may change the port number for a service in this field, but you must use the same port
umber to use that service for remote management.
Secured Client IP: The default 0.0.0.0 allows any client to use this service to
remotely manage the BIPAC-5100/5100W. Type an IP address to restrict access to a
client with a matching IP address.

4.2.9 UPNP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses
TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP
device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities
and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network
smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.

33
 Enable the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Service: Select this checkbox to
activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open the web
configurator's login screen without entering the BIPAC-5100/5100W's IP address
Allow users to make configuration changes through UPnP: Select this check
box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the
BIPAC-5100/5100W so that they can communicate through the BIPAC-5100/5100W,
for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT
forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this
eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled
application.

and/or password. settings by holding the Reset button on the back of your
router for 6 seconds above.

Problems with the WAN Interface

Problem Corrective Action

Initialization of the Ensure that the telephone cable is connected properly from
PVC connection the ADSL port to the wall jack. The ADSL LED on the front
(“linesync”) failed. panel of the router should be on. Check that your VPI, VCI,
encapsulation type and type of multiplexing settings are the
same as those provided by your ISP. Reboot the router GE. If
you still have problems, you may need to verify these settings
with your ISP.

Frequent loss of Ensure that all other devices connected to the same
ADSL linesync telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines,
(disconnections). 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.
