Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 6200NXL Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that
combines a Broadband modem, Ethernet network switch and two USB ports to provide everything you
need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over a 3G broadband connection.
The BiPAC 6200NXL supports 3G, PPP over Ethernet, DHCP Client and Fixed IP address to establish
a connection with your ISP.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection, the BiPAC 6200NXL allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by outside
users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address Translation (NAT), it
also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets are monitored
and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block internal users from accessing the
Internet.
The BiPAC 6200NXL provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making
them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a
machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that
outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run properly, you can
open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your network.
The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow multiple users
to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local machines as a DHCP
client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server and reboot. Each time a
local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and assigns an IP address to instantly connect it
to the LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service (port mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited
visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. For instance, a dedicated web
server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then incoming requests for web pages that
are received by the router can be rerouted to your dedicated local web server, even though the server
now has a different IP address.
2
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you can set the
router to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible
IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.
Features
3G
3 G-based Internet connections (requires an additional 3G USB modem), with automatic fail-over to
ensure an always-on Internet connection in the event that one of your Internet services fails. The setup
of 3G is simplified by the web browser-based configuration. It is easy for you to access to the Internet
wherever a 3G connection is available, you can even share your Internet connection with others, no
matter whether you’re in a meeting, or taking a cross-country train trip.
802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support
With integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy access
among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection with single device simplicity, and
as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 300 Mbps 802.11n data rate, it also interoperates
backward with existing 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and
access control via Wireless LAN.
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 3-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built-in with automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X
for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports, with auto detection allowing you to use either straight or
cross-over Ethernet cables.
EWAN
BiPAC 6200NXL offers a WAN port to connect to Cable Modems and fibre optic lines. This alternative,
yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.
USB Server
BiPAC 6200NXL supports two USB 2.0 ports, Using the integrated USB 2.0 ports, the device offers
users to share a blistering wired or 3G-based wireless Internet connection over 3G networks. Printer,
Webcam and HDD can also connect to USB port, The BiPAC 6200NXL can also serve as
3
multi-function servers with its USB port to help you set up your own network. You can share the printer
in your office network, monitor your house with a Webcam and share files with your colleagues or
friends. If you need to handle office business, home security and personal entertainment, the BiPAC
6200NXL can connect with your network devices using the built-in USB port.
3G Management Center
Monitoring your 3G connection status is easy with the BiPAC 6200NXL. The unique Billion 3G
Management Center is a web-based utility tool, displaying visually its current 3G-signal status for
users to maximize their connection. Users can monitor their bandwidth with current upload and
download speed. This tool also calculates the total amount of hours or data traffic used per month,
allowing users to manage their 3G monthly subscriptions. The web-based user interface of the BiPAC
6200NXL makes it extremely easy for users to install and manage their network. Supporting DHCP
client and server, the router enables system administrators to easily integrate this router into existing
network environments and manage IP assignment without the need to reconfigure other stations.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
The router supports PPP over Ethernet, DHCP Client and Fixed IP address to establish a connection
with an ISP.
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, and it makes setting up a network simple and affordable. UPnP
architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity networking in addition to control and
data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, you can seamlessly connect to Net
Meeting or MSN Messenger.
Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such as the
Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer
gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone,
Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
Firewall
NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the Internet,
like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.
4
Domain Name System Relay
Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a user-friendly
name such as www.google.com with an IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server to the
router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router is forwarded to
the real DNS on 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. To use the service, you must first apply for an account
from a DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
The BiPAC 6200NXL provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get
greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account
and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer.
Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the
router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management
information move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are
configurable by Internal IP address, External IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed
at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate
upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or
alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort
out the actual speeds.
Virtual Server
You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming service
request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you can assign a PC
in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse
inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided for local
computers exposed to the outside Internet network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically. On a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP addresses, including
5
subnet masks and DNS IP addresses and distributes them to local computers. This provides an easy
way to manage the local IP network.
Rich Packet Filtering
This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering packets to and
from the Internet provides a higher level of security control.
Web-based GUI
A web-based GUI offers easy configuration and management. It also supports remote management
capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
You can upgrade the router with the latest firmware through its web-based GUI.
Operating Environment
• Operating temperature: 00C ~ 400C
• Storage temperature: -20OC ~ 700C
• Humidity: 20 - 95% non-condensing

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by
simply pushing a button. If your network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution
7
System (WDS) repeater function allows you to expand your wireless network without the need for any
further wires or cables. Multiple SSIDs allow users to access different networks through a single
access point. Network managers can assign different policies and functions for each SSID, increasing
the flexibility and efficiency of the network infrastructure. Keep in mind, however, that the number,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass.
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the BiPAC 6200NXL and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your BiPAC 6200NXL wireless product’s range from 3-90
feet (1-30 meters.)
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. Be aware of the direct line
between network devices. Position the devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or
ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal -
a solid metal door or aluminium studs may have a negative effect on range.
Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes
through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet
or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF (radio frequency) noise.

You can configure the BiPAC 6200NXL router through the convenient and user-friendly interface of a
web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me
include a web browser as a standard application.
PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface which connects to the router directly or through
an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must 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 between 192.168.1.1
and 192.168.1.253). The easiest way is to configure the PC is to obtain an IP address automatically
from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you
are advised to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems when
trying to access the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.
Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all, 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.

automatically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP.
~ Connect to Demand (un-select Always On): If you want to establish a PPPoE session only
when there is a packet requesting access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer
attempts to access the Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout value at same time.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for
a predetermined period of time. The minimum value is 10 minutes.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific
headers) an IP attempts to send through the interface.
69
Fixed IP Address (EWAN)
Select this option to set static IP information. You will need to enter in the Connection type, IP address,
netmask, and gateway address, provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields
must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will
not accept the IP address if it is not in this format.
Line Speed: Set the downstream and upstream of your connection in kilobytes per second. The
connection speed is used by QoS settings.
NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet
through a single IP account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP
addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled.
IP Address: Your WAN IP address. Leave this at 0.0.0.0 to automatically obtain an IP address from
your ISP.
IP Netmask: The default is 0.0.0.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.0.Type the
netmask assigned to you by your ISP (if given).
Gateway: You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP)
Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this check box to use DNS.
Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are
passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the netmask.
MAC Spoofing: Select Enable and enter a MAC address that will temporarily change your router’s
MAC address to the one you have specified in this field. Leave it as Disabled if you do not wish to
change the MAC address of your router.
70
Main Port - 3G
The router allows you to insert a 3G/HSDPA card to its USB slot, enabling you to use a 3G/ HSDPA,
UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, or GSM Internet connection, makes downstream rates of to 14.4 Mbps*.
ISP Mode: Choose 3G service provider.
TEL No.: The dial string to make a GPRS / 3G user internetworking call. It may be provided by your
mobile service provider.
APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The
service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection. Requirements for
APN assignment varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet
portal which they connect a DHCP Server to, giving you access to the internet i.e. Some 3G operators
use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value of APN is “internet”.
Username: Enter the username provided by your service provider.
Password: Enter the password provided by your service provider.
Auth. Protocol: Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP
(Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using (when
acting as a client), or the authentication type you want the clients to use when tehy are connecting to
you (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP
encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure
that an intruder has not replaced the client.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific
headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface.
71
PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain
systems as a password to gain access, and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the
SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times
in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK code will be required from your network / service
provider to unlock it.
Note: If you enter an incorrect PIN code three times in a row, your SIM card will be blocked. In this
case, please enter your PUK code (it can be supplied by your service provider) and then re-enter your
PIN.
Connection:
• Always On: The router will make UMTS/GPRS call when starting up. Enabling Always On,
will give you an option of Keep Alive.
• Connect on Demand: If you want to make UMTS/GPRS call only when there is a packet re-
questing access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the
Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout value at same time. Enabling Connect on
Demand will give you an option of Idle Timeout.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the connection when there is no activity on this call for a
predetermined period of time. The default value is 10 seconds.
Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this checkbox to use DNS.
Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are
passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Note: If you don’t know how to set these values and please keep them untouched.

System
There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore,
Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.
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, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router
retrieves 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.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes the
router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing the load on
your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute
minimum every few hours or even days.
75
Do not power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrade while it is
still in process. Improper operation may damage the router. Please see
section 2.4 for emergency recovery procedures.
Firmware Upgrade
Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think
of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this
software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take
advantage of these changes.
Clicking on Browse allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC.
Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.
Restart Device with: To choose “Factory Default Settings” or “Current Settings” which uses your
current setting on the new firmware (it is highly advised to use Factory Default Settings over Current
Settings for a clean firmware upgrade).
New Firmware Image: Type in the location of the file you wish to upload in this field or click Browse…
to locate it.
Browse…: Click Browse… to find the file with the .afw file extension that you wish to upload.
Remember that you must decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upgrade from the file.
Upgrade: Click upgrade to begin the upload process. This process may take up to three minutes.
Warning
76
Backup / Restore
These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to
restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings,
knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your
router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.
Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the
name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.
Press Browse… to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that
have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the current version
of the router’s firmware. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any
way.
Select the settings files you wish to use, and press Restore to load those settings into the router.
77

or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory
default settings.
78
User Management
In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires all users to
login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password.
You are able to Edit existing users and Add new users who are able to access the device’s
configuration interface. Once you have clicked Edit on the account you want to edit, the information of
the account will be displayed above. Just go ahead and change the password.
You can change the user’s password, whether their account is active and Valid. These options are
the same when creating a user account, with the exception that once created you cannot change the
username. You cannot delete the default admin account; however you can delete any other created
accounts by clicking ticking the box under Delete and then press the Edit/Delete button.
You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “admin” account when you receive
your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults.
79
Mail Alert

Printer Server
Printer Server provides a simple and efficient network printing solution. Connect one end of the printer
server to the printer and one end to the network, then anywhere the printer is in the network, users can
print easily.
IPP, short for Internet Printing Protocol, provides a set of network printing services which give printing
a more efficient and secure environment.
LPD, stands for Line Printer Daemon. Its function is to wait for the printing tasks transmitted by
the LPR(line printer remote). When the LPD receives a print job, it first gets the print jobs
temporarily stored in the print queue. The print queue is a file directory and many of the LPD
print job are waiting here for processing. When the printing device is idle, LPD remove the print
job from the print queue and pass it to the printer task to print.
Here enable IPP Printer Server if you want to use IPP Printer or enable LPD Printer Server if you want
to use LPD Printer. Also you can enable the two. But LPD printer can only be used in LAN, if you want

When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the
ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings.
Firewall and Access Control
Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from
your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT
(Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your
LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN
configuration section for more details on NAT.
Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network.
NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses, which are invisible to outside users on the
Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural
firewall is on when the NAT function is enabled.
99
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules prevent
unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.
Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks.
MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet.
URL Filter: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.
A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the Firewall section below:
Packet Filter, MAC Address Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING and URL Filter.
100
Packet Filter
Packet 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. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users
based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. 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.
Rule Name: Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length is 32
characters, and then can choose application that they want from list box.
Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic
to/from particular IP address (es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty or 0.0.0.0,
it means any IP address.
Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) that the rule applies to.
Select TCP if you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the remote server
using the port number. Or select UDP if you want to search for the connectionless application service
on the remote server using the port number.
Action: If a packet matches this filter rule, Forward (allows the packets to pass) or Drop (disallow
the packets to pass) this packet.
Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the Remote/WAN to
connect to the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be
configured by an advanced user.
External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application.
Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.
Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization
policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
101
Log: Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.
Add: Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at the bottom table.
Edit: Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”.
Delete: Check the Rule No. you wish to delete, and then click “Delete”.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning
IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do
not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest
and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC
that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You
configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the
same subnet with the router.
Attention
102
MAC Filter
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 to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.
There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your
requirements.
Action：select to determine how to do with the filter.
• Disable: to disable the MAC filter function.
• Allow: to enable the MAC filter function and allow the host of the following set MAC
addresses to access.
• Block: to enable the MAC filter function and block the host of the following set MAC
addresses to access.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses you wish to manage.
Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization
policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
103
Intrusion Detection
Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router
automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function. This
kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific
equipment or the entire network. If this happens, users will have trouble accessing the network
resources.
Intrusion Detection: Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without
permission.
Maximum TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN Flood
attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.
Maximum Ping Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm is occurring
or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.
Maximum ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not.
Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).
Log: Check Log if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to the Intrusion Detection.
104
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log but it
will not be able to protect against such attacks.

105
Block WAN PING
Check Enable if you wish to exclude outside PING requests from reaching this router.
URL Filter
URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.example.com ) filter
rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites from their URL.
There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.
Keywords Filtering
Allows blocking by specific keywords within a particular URL rather than having to specify a complete
URL (e.g. to block any image called “advertisement.gif”). When enabled, your specified keywords list
is checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection
attempt should be blocked. Note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts
using port 80 only.
For example, the URL http://www.abc.com/abcde.html would be dropped since the keyword “abcde”
occurs in the URL.
106
Domains Filtering
Checks the domain name in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it matches,
the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is:
1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is
sent to the remote web server.
2. If not, it is checked with the forbidden list. If present, the connection attempt is dropped.
3. If the packet matches neither of the above, it is sent to the remote web server.
4. Please be note that the completed URL, “www” + domain name shall be specified. For example to
block traffic to www.google.com.au, enter “www.google” or “www.google.com”
Restrict URL Features
This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules.
~ Block Java Applet: Blocks Web content which includes the Java Applet to prevent someone who
wants to damage your system via the standard HTTP protocol.

QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service Introduction
If you’ve ever found your ‘net’ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a
P2P file sharing program, you’ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the routers is such a
breakthrough for home users and office users.
QoS: Keeping Your Net Connection Fast and Responsive
Configurable by internal IP address, external IP address, protocol, and port, the Quality of Service
(QoS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the
router, ensuring bandwidth-consumption data like gaming packets, latency-sensitive application like
voice, or even mission critical files, move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load.
You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router. In addition,
you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual
speeds.
QoS Setup
Please choose the QoS in the Configuration item of the left window as depicted below.
After clicking the QoS item, you can Add/Edit/Delete a QoS policy. This page will show the brief
information for policies you have added or edited. This page will also display the total available
(Non-assigned) bandwidth, in percentage, can be assigned.
Application: A name that identifies an existing policy.
Direction: The traffic flow direction to be controlled by the QoS policy.
There are two settings to be provided in the Router:
~ LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. e.g.,
you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by
the QoS policy. So, you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting.
~ WAN to LAN: Control Traffic flow from the WAN to LAN. The connection maybe either issued from
113
LAN to WAN or WAN to LAN.)
Protocol: The Protocol will be controlled. For GRE protocol, there is no need to specify the IP
addresses or Application ports in this page. For other protocols, at least one value shall be given.
~ ANY: No protocol type is specified.
~ TCP
~ UDP
~ ICMP
~ GRE
DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP
Marking allows users to classify traffic based on DSCP value and send packets to next Router.
Note: To be sure the router(s) in the backbones network have the capability in executing and checking the
DSCP through-out the QoS network.

Rate Type: 2 types are provided:
~ Limited (Maximum): Specify a limited data rate for this policy. It also is the maximal rate for
this policy. 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.
~ Guaranteed (Minimum): Specify a minimal data rate for this policy. For example, you want to
provide a guaranteed data rate for your outside customers to access your internal FTP server with, say
at least, 20% of your total bandwidth. You can use this type. Then, if there is available bandwidth that
is not used, it will be given to this policy by following priority assignment.
Ratio: Assign the data ratio for this policy to be controlled. For examples, we want to only allow 20%
of the total data transfer rate for the LAN-to-WAN direction to be used for FTP server. Then we can
specify here with data ratio = 20.
Priority: Specify the priority for the bandwidth that is not used. For examples, you may specify two
different QoS policies for different applications. Both applications need a minimal bandwidth and need
more bandwidth, beside the assigned one, if there is any available/non-used one available. So, you
may specify which application can have higher priority to acquire the non-used bandwidth.
~ High
~ Normal: The default is normal priority.
~ Low
115
For the sample priority assignment for different policies, it is served in a First-In-First-Out way.
Internal IP Address: The IP address values for Local LAN machines you want to control. (For IP
packets from LAN to WAN, it is the source IP address. For IP packages from WAN to LAN, it is the
destination IP address.)
Internal Port: The Application port values for local LAN machines you want to control. (For TCP/UDP
packets from LAN to WAN, it is the source port value. For TCP/UDP packets from WAN to LAN, it is the
destination port value.)
External IP Address: The IP address values for Remote WAN machines you want to control. (For IP
packets from LAN to WAN, it is the destination IP address. For IP packages from WAN to LAN, it is the
source IP address.)
External Ports: The Application port values for remote machines you want to control. (For TCP/UDP
packets from LAN to WAN, it is the destination port value. For TCP/UDP packets from WAN to LAN, it
is the source port value.)
Time Schedule: Scheduling your prioritization policy.
116
Virtual Server
In TCP 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 need to
configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on
your network running the application. You also need to use port forwarding if you wish to host an online
game server.
The reason is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address is used by and points to your
router, which needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the
WAN configuration section of this manual for information on NAT.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of
unique parameter values for Internet protocols. Port numbers range from 0 to 65535, but only port
numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as “well-known ports”. The
registered ports are numbered from 1024 through 49151. The remaining ports, referred to as dynamic
ports, or private ports, are numbered from 49152 through 65535.
Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information, please
see IANA’s website at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

119
Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from access by
outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specifically create
Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router needs to allow
outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server or game server,
the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a specific port number for the
service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port
110). When an incoming access request to the router for a specified port is received, it is forwarded to
the corresponding internal server.
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 are 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 used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The
protocol is determined by the particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you
can specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all” causes all
incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified
IP address.
120
DMZ
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 are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, it is
then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other
Virtual Server entries.
Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which will be the DMZ Host.
Time Schedule: A self defined time period. You may specify a time schedule. For setup and detail,
refer to Time Schedule section.
Port: The except port number. Default is set from range 1 ~ 65535.You can select from the drop
down list and also can enter manually.
Protocol: Select the TCP or UDP protocol from the drop down list.
Description: The description of the port’s function.
Add/Delete Except Ports
1. Enter except port number in the port field or choose from the drop down list. Select the port and
describe the port.
121
2. Click Add. The new except port will display below.
3. Click Delete to delete the one which you want to remove from the except list.
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.
122
Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN (WOL, sometimes WoL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a
computer to be turned on or woken up remotely by a network message.
Select: Select MAC address of the computer that you want to wake up or turn on remotely.
Add: After selecting, click Add then you can perform the Wake-up action.
Edit/Delete: Click to edit or delete the selected MAC address.
Ready: “Yes“ indicating the remote computer is ready for your waking up.
“No“ indicating the machine is not ready for your waking up.
Delete: Delete the selected MAC address.
123
Time Schedule
The Time Schedule supports up to 16 time slots 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 Time Zone for details. You router time should correspond with your
local time. If the time is not set correctly, your Time Schedule will not function properly.
Name: A user-define description to identify this time portfolio.
Day in a week: The default is set from Sunday through Saturday. You may specify the days for the
schedule to be applied.
Start Time: The default is set at 8:00 AM. You may specify the start time of the schedule.
End Time: The default is set at 18:00 (6:00PM). You may specify the end time of the schedule. Select
the Apply button to apply your changes.
124
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 seven items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS,
Device Management, IGMP, SNMP Access Control and Remote Access.
125
Static Route
Destination: The destination subnet IP address.
Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on above destination.
Gateway: The gateway IP address to which packets are forwarded.
Interface: Select the interface through which packets are forwarded.
Cost: Represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but
it must be between 0 and 65535.
Static ARP
IP Address: Fill in the IP address of the host computer that is sending the data packet.
MAC Address: Fill in the MAC address of the computer that the incoming data packets are to be
forwarded.
126
Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP
does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful for
hosting servers via your 3G 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 first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website,
for example http://www.dyndns.org/.
Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function.
Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The fields following are activated and required.
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Wildcard: Select this check box to enable the DYNDNS Wildcard.
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username
and password for this service.
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS
server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when
your dynamic IP address changes.
127
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: The port number of the router’s embedded web server (for web-based configuration uses.
The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. You may specify an alternative if, for example, you
are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.
For Example: User A changes HTTP port number to 100, specifies their own IP address of
192.168.1.55, and sets the logout time to be 100 minutes. The router only allows User A access from
the IP address 192.168.1.55 to logon to the Web GUI by typing: http://192.168.1.254:100 in their web
browser. After 100 minutes, the device automatically logs out User A.
Universal Plug and Play (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.
Disable: Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality.
Enable: Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.
UPnP Port: The Default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended you use this port value.
If this value conflicts with other ports already in use you may wish to change the port.
128

IGMP Snooping: Allowing switched Ethernet / Wireless to check and make correct forwarding
decisions. Default is set to Disable.
135
SNMP Access Control
Software on a PC within the LAN is required in order to utilize this function - Simple Network
Management Protocol.
SNMP V1 and V2
Read Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP address. This
community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string
name is matched, user obtains this IP address will be able to view the data.
Write Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community, and an IP address. This
community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string
name is matched, users from this IP address will be able to view and modify the data.
Trap Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Trap Community, and an IP address. This
community string will be checked against the string entered in the configuration file. Once the string
name is matched, users from this IP address will be sent SNMP Traps.
SNMP V3
Specify a name and password for authentication. And define the access right from identified IP
address. Once the authentication has succeeded, users from this IP address will be able to view and
modify the data.
SNMP Version: SNMPV2c and SNMPv3
SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the SNMPv2
security. The "c" comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community string paradigm for
"security", but is widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard.
SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism, authorization with fine granularity for remote
monitoring.
Traps supported: Cold Start, Authentication Failure.

140
Logout
To exit the router’s web interface, choose Logout. Please ensure that you have saved the
configuration settings before you logout.
Be aware that the router is restricted to only one PC accessing the configuration web pages at a time.
Once a PC has logged into the web interface, other PCs cannot get access until the current PC has
logged out of the web interface. If the previous PC forgets to logout, the second PC can access the
page after a user-defined period, by default 3 minutes. You can modify this value using the Advanced
- Device Management section of the web interface. Please see the Advanced section of this manual
for more information.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
If your 3G Router is not functioning properly, you can refer first to this chapter for simple
troubleshooting before contacting your service provider support. This can save you time and effort but
if symptoms persist, consult your service provider.
Problems starting up the router
Problem Corrective Action
None of the LEDs
are on when you
turn on the router.
Check the connection between the adapter and the router. If the error
persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should
contact technical support.
Problems with the LAN Interface
Problem Corrective Action
Can’t ping any PCs
on the LAN.
Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. The LED should be on for a
port that has a PC connected. If it is off, check the cables between your
router and the PC. Make sure you have uninstalled any software firewall for
troubleshooting.
Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consistent between the
router and the workstations.
Problems with the FTP Server
Problem Corrective Action
FTP client which
behind firewall
remote access the
router fail
Because the firewall has NAT function, this make can’t access the router
successful. There are two suggestions to solve the problem.
1. Set the FTP port as 21, you can access the router successful
2. Use FTP client software (such as flashfxp V3.6), set the connect
behaviour to be “active mode” you can also access the router
successful.
142
Problems with the Samba
Problem Corrective Action
Can’t change
account to access
Samba
First, use net use command to see the current network connection. Such
as we find the resource is: \\192.168.1.254\IPC$ then use net use
\\192.168.1.254\IPC$ /del to delete the connection which need password.
Reaccess and you can change the account.
Can’t access the
shared directory
after format the disk
For the samba user, the shared directories are stored in the hard disk.
There is a .smb_config file under the disk’s root directory. If you have
removed this file or format the disk, you must reset the shared directory.
Problems with the Printer
Problem Corrective Action
Can’t access the
printer
Make sure you have added printer correctly, please reference Set up of
Printer client.
The printer can’t
print though the
printer have been
added correctly
The router can support Ink-jet Printer well. For laser printer, because of its
operation ways, maybe can’t normal printing.
Problems with the Webcam
Problem Corrective Action
Can’t see the image 1. Make sure you have enabled the Enable Webcam Server From WAN
