1Chapter 1: IntroductionIntroduction to your RouterWelcome to the 3G/VoIP/ (802.11g) ADSL2+(VPN) Firewall Router. The router is an “all-in-one” ADSL router, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch functionalities, providing everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL broadband connection. With features such as an ADSL Quick-Start wizard and DHCP Server, you can be online in no time at all and with a minimum of fuss and configuration, catering for first-time users to the guru requiring advanced features and control over their Internet connection and network. Features Express Internet AccessThe router complies with ADSL worldwide standards. It supports downstream rate up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8Mbps with ADSL. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.lite (ITU G.992.2); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); G.dmt.bis.plus (ITU G.992.5)). 3G3G-based Internet connection (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. Secure WLAN setup is simplified by the web browser-based configuration for easy access to the Internet wherever a 3G connection is available - whether you're seated at your desk or taking a cross-country train trip. EWANBesides using 3G/ADSL to get connected to the Internet, the router offers its Ethernet port 1 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fiber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online. Dual WAN Dual WAN is a new way of getting connected to the internet which is to use each two of the 3G/ADSL/EWAN to deal with the unexpected case and balance traffic load. That is a way of improving greatly the robustness. 802.11g Wireless AP with WPA Support (Wireless Router only)With integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (ADSL) with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 54 Mbps 802.11g data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11b equipment. The Wi-Fi Protected Access
2(WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN. Fast Ethernet SwitchA 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 crossover cable can be used directly for auto detection. Multi-Protocol to Establish a ConnectionIt supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation overATM (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 WizardIt 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 TraversalThis 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. SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPIAlong with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker pattern-filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed through the firewall to the private LAN. Domain Name System (DNS) RelayIt 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)
3The 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 applyfor an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are supportedQuality 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 ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination 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 (“port forwarding”)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. Rich Packet FilteringNot only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and ServerIn 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. Static and RIP1/2 RoutingIt has routing capability and supports easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP. Web based GUIIt 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.
4Firmware UpgradeableDevice can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI. Rich Management InterfacesIt 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. Virtual Private Network (VPN) (BiPAC 7404V(G)OX only)It allows user to make a tunnel with a remote site directly to secure the data transmission among the connection. User can use embedded PPTP and L2TP client/server, IKE and IPSec which are supported by this router to make a VPN connection or users can run the PPTP client in PC and the router already provides IPSec and PPTP pass through function to establish a VPN connection if the user likes to run the PPTP client in his local computer.

8CablingOne of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables. Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same telephone line as your router have a line filter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and that all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If line filter is not installed and connected properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.
9Chapter 3: Basic InstallationThe router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network. Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

60Port SettingThis section allows you to configure the settings for the router’s Ethernet ports to solve some of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well allowing users to tweak the performance of their network. Port # Connection Type: There are Six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless there are specific problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN. IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2nd octet of an IP packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet. This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet’s priority. If the packet is high priority, it will flow first and will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s Ethernet switch will check the 2nd octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the checked values in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.
61DHCP ServerYou 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. To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click Apply. When the DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PCs on your network, and set the default gateway for each PCs to the IP address of the router (by default this is 192.168.1.254).To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click Next. You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Apply to enable this function. If you check “Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network). If you check DHCP Relay Agent and click Next, then you will have to enter the IP address of the DHCP server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP. Click Apply to enable this function.
62WAN - Wide Area NetworkWAN refers to your Wide Area Network connection, i.e. your router’s connection to your ISP and the Internet. Here are the items within the WAN section: WAN Interface, WAN Profile and ADSL Mode.WAN Interface ADSL ModeThe default setting for Connection Mode is ADSL and for Protocol is PPPoE. 3G ModeIn ADSL mode, as the ADSL is not available (failover/failback), it will switch to 3G mode for WAN Connection support. However, in 3G Mode ADSL cannot support WAN Connection when 3G Mode is unavailable.
63EWANEWAN is another way of getting connected to the Internet, the router offers its Ethernet port 1 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fiber optic lines.

Failover Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Failover Probe Cycle to determine when the
64router will switch to the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection (main port) fails. Note:The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 60 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails). Failback Probe Cycle: Set the time duration for the Failback Probe Cycle to determine when the router will switch back to the main connection (main port) from the backup connection (backup port) once the main connection is communicating again. Note:The time set is for each probe cycle, but the decision to change to the backup port is determined by Probe Cycle duration multiplied by Connection Decision amount (e.g. From the image above it will be 60 seconds multiplied by 5 consecutive fails). Detect Rule: Rule 1. ADSL Down Rule 2. Ping Fail No Ping: It will not send any ping packet to determine the connection. It means to disable the ping fail detection.

753GProfile mode: select the profile port as 3G iBurst: check the check box to determine whether to enable the iBurst function.Mode: select your wanted mode of 3G operation from the drop-down menu.TEL No.: The dial string to make a GPRS / 3G user internetworking call. It may provide 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’s to be assigned 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. Authentication Type: Default is None. Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the authentication type you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst 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. 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 authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the
76SIM 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 you will require a PUK code from your network/service provider. Connection: select the connection method you want. Always On: The router will make UMTS/GPRS call when starting up. Enabling Always On, will give you an option of Keep Alive. Keep Alive: Set Enable to allow the router automatically reconnects the connection when ISP disconnects it. Connect to Demand: If you want to make UMTS/GPRS call 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. 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. NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled. Obtain DNS: Select Automatic 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.

81ADSL ModeConnect Mode: This mode will automatically detect your ADSL line code, ADSL2+, ADSL2, AnnexM2 and AnnexM2+, ADSL, All. Please keep the factory setting unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of synchronization problem. Modulation: It will automatically detect capability of your ADSL line mode. Please keep the factory setting unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of synchronization problem. Profile Type: Please keep the factory settings unless ADSL is detected as the symptom of low link rate or unstable problems. You may need to change the profile setting to reach the best ADSL line rate, it depends on the different DSLAM and location. Activate Line: Aborting (false) your ADSL line and making it active (true) again for taking effect with setting of Connect Mode. Coding Gain: It reduces router’s transmit power which will effect to router’s downstream performance. Higher the gain will increase the downstream rate but it sometimes causes unstable ADSL line. The configurable ADSL coding gain is from 0 dB to 7dB, or automatic. Tx Attenuation: It is the ADSL transmission power that the modem is using. The lower the power the better performance in router’s upstream. Configurable value is between 0~12. Elapsed Time: the time since ADSL connection is established.
82SystemHere are the items within the System section: Time Zone, Remote Access, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart ,User Management and Mail Alert.Time ZoneThe 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 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 list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use. Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world adapt it during summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time. Check Enable box to set your local time. Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order 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.
83Remote AccessTo temporarily permit remote administration of the router (i.e. from outside your LAN), select a time period the router will permit remote access for and click Enable. You may change other configuration options for the web administration interface using Device Management options in the Advanced section of the GUI. If you wish to permanently enable remote access, choose a time period of 0 minute. Firmware UpgradeYour 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 revised, and your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes. Clicking on Browse will allow 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.
84Backup / RestoreThese 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. After selecting the settings file you wish to use, pressing Restore will load those settings into the router.
85Restart RouterClick Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router (and restore your last saved configuration).If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings. You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button more than 6 seconds on the back of your router. Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds, to be sure you power cycle the device again.
86User ManagementIn 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 on Edit, you are shown the following options:You can change the user’s password, whether their account is active and valid, as well as add a comment to each user account. Click Edit/Delete button to save your revise. You cannot delete the default admin account, if you do you will be log out. However, you can delete any other created accounts by clicking Delete when editing the user. 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.
87When you create a user account, check Valid box and fill in the respective information for User, Comment, Password and Confirm Password in the blanks provided. Then click the Add button to add your new user account. To delete a user account, click on the Delete radio button on the right column of the account you wish to delete and then click the Edit/Delete button on the top to confirm your deletion.
88Mail Alert Mail alert is designed to keep system administrator or other relevant personnels alerted of any unexpected events that might have occured to the network computers or server for monitoring efficiency. With this alert system, appropriate solutions may be tackled to fix problems that may have arisen so that the server can be properly maintained.SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails. Username: Enter the username of your email account to be used by the SMTP server. Password: Enter the password of your email account. Sender’s Email: Enter your email address. Recipient’s Email (Failover / Failback): Enter the email address that will receive the alert message once a computer / network server failover occurs. Recipient’s Email (WAN IP Change Alert): Enter the email address that will receive the alert message once an WAN IP change has been detected.
90Firewall and Access ControlYour 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. Besides, when using NAT, the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. Firewall: Prevent outsiders from accessing your local network. The router provides three levels of security support: NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to users on the Internet, thus making it more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is turned on when NAT function is enabled. Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications to access your local network from the Internet. Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks. Access Control: Prevent access from PCs on your local network: Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent unauthorized computers or applications from accessing the Internet. URL Filter: To block PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.
91Listed are the items under the Firewall section: General Settings, Packet Filter, Intrusion Detection, URL Filter, IM/P2P Blocking and Firewall Log.General SettingsYou can choose not to enable Firewall and still able to access to URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or enable the Firewall using preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The Packet Filter is used to filter packets based-on Applications (Port) or IP addresses. There are four options when you enable the Firewall, they are: All blocked/User-defined: no pre-defined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked. Users have to add their own filter rules for further access to the Internet. High/Medium/Low security level: the predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Lowsecurity are displayed in Port Filters of Packet Filter. Select either High, Medium or Low security level to enable the Firewall. The only difference between these three security levels is the preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter. Firewall functionality is the same for all levels; it is only the list of preset port filters that changes between each setting. For more detailed on level of preset port filter information, refer to Table 1: Predefined Port Filter. If you choose of the preset security levels and add custom filters, this level of filter rules will be saved even and do not need to re-configure the rules again if you disable or switch to other firewall level. The “Block WAN Request” is a stand-alone function and not relate to whether security enable or
92disable. Mostly it is for preventing any scan tools from WAN site by hacker.Packet FilterThis function is only available when the Firewall is enabled and one of these four security levels is chosen (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter must modify accordingly to the level of Firewall, which is selected. See Table1: Predefined Port Filter for more detail information.
93Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1. Note: Firewall – All Blocked/User-defined, you must define and create the port filter rules yourself. No predefined rule is being preconfigured.PortNumber Firewall - Low Firewall - Medium Firewall – HighTable 1:PredefinedPort FilterApplicationProtocolStart End Inbound Outbound Inbound Outbound Inbound OutboundHTTP(80) TCP(6) 80 80 NO YES NO YES NO YESDNS (53) UDP(17) 53 53 NO YES NO YES NO YESDNS (53) TCP(6) 53 53 NO YES NO YES NO YESFTP(21) TCP(6) 21 21 NO YES NO YES NO NOTelnet(23) TCP(6) 23 23 NO YES NO YES NO NOSMTP(25) TCP(6) 25 25 NO YES NO YES NO YESPOP3(110) TCP(6) 110 110 NO YES NO YES NO YESNEWS(NNTP)(NetworkNews Transfer Protocol)TCP(6) 119 119 NO YES NO YES NO NORealAudio/RealVideo (7070)UDP(17) 7070 7070 YES YES YES YES NO NOPING ICMP(1) N/A N/A NO YES NO YES NO YESH.323(1720) TCP(6) 1720 1720 YES YES NO YES NO NOT.120(1503) TCP(6) 1503 1503 YES YES NO YES NO NOSSH(22) TCP(6) 22 22 NO YES NO YES NO NONTP /SNTP UDP(17) 123 123 NO YES NO YES NO YESHTTP/HTTPProxy (8080) TCP(6) 8080 8080 NO YES NO NO NO NOHTTPS(443) TCP(6) 443 443 NO YES NO YES N/A N/AICQ (5190) TCP(6) 5190 5190 YES YES N/A N/A N/A N/AMSN (1863) TCP(6) 1863 1863 YES YES N/A N/A N/A N/AMSN (7001) UDP(17) 7001 7001 YES YES N/A N/A N/A N/AMSN VEDIO (9000) TCP(6) 9000 9000 NO YES N/A N/A N/A N/A

Inbound / Outbound: Select Allow or Block the access to the Internet (“Outbound”) or from the Internet (“Inbound”). Click the Add button to apply your changes. Example: Configuring your firewall to allow a publicly accessible web server on your LAN The predefined port filter rule for HTTP (TCP port 80) is the same no matter whether the firewall is set to a high, medium or low security level. To setup a web server located on the local network when the firewall is enabled, you have to configure the Port Filters setting for HTTP.
96As you can see from the diagram below, when the firewall is enabled with one of the three presets (Low/Medium/High), inbound HTTP access is not allowed which means remote access through HTTP to your router is not allowed. Note: Inbound indicates accessing from Internet to LAN and Outbound is from LAN to theInternet.
97Configuring Packet Filter:1. Click Packet Filters. You will then be presented with the predefined port filter rules screen (in this case for the low security level), shown below:Note: You may click Edit the predefined rule instead of Delete it. This is an example to show to how you add a filter on your own.2. Choose the radio button you want to delete the existing HTTP rule. Click Edit/Delete button to delete the existing HTTP rule.3. Input the Rule Name, Time Schedule, Source/Destination IP, Type, Source/Destination Port, Inbound and Outbound.

100Intrusion DetectionThe router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious. Blacklist: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time period specified as the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled). Some attack types are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land attack and Echo/CharGen scan. Intrusion Detection: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is false. Block Duration: Victim Protection Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking Smurf attacks. Default value is 600 seconds. Scan Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Scan attack. Scan attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN scan andsimilar attempts. Default value is 86400 seconds. DoS Attack Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking hosts that attempt a possible Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to block include Ascend Kill and WinNuke. Default value is 1800 seconds. Max TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a SYN Floodattempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds. Max PING Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo Storm isoccurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second. Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or not. Defaultvalue is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING). For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log. It cannot protect against such attacks.

103URL FilterURL (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. Enable/Disable: To enable or disable URL Filter feature. Block Mode: A list of the modes that you can choose to check the URL filter rules. The default is set to Always On. Disabled: No action will be performed by the Block Mode.Always On: Action is enabled. URL filter rules will be monitoring and checking at all hours ofthe day. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: It is self-defined time period. You may specify the time period to check the URL filter rules, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.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 will be checked to see if any keywords are present in URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Please note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only. For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, it will be dropped as the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL.
104Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL not the IP address, in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). For this function to be activated, both check-boxes must be checked. Here is the checking procedure: 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, check if it is listed in the forbidden list. If yes, then the connection attempt will be dropped.3. If the packet does not match either of the above two items, 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”In the example below, the URL request for www.abc.com will be sent to the remote web server because it is listed in the trusted list, whilst the URL request for www.google or www.google.com will be dropped, because www.google is in the forbidden list.
105Example:Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for ones listed in the trusted domain, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other web sites. Andy selects both functions in the Domain Filtering and thinks that it will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function, Domain Filtering, ONLY disables all WEB traffic except for Trusted Domain, BUT not its IP address. If this is the situation, Block surfing by IP address function can be handy and helpful to Andy. Now, Andy can prevent Bobby from accessing other sites. Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules. Block Java Applet: This function can block Web content that includes the Java Applet. It isto prevent someone who wants to damage your system via standard HTTP protocol. Block surfing by IP address: Preventing someone who uses the IP address as URL for skip- ping Domains Filtering function. Activates only and if Domain Filtering enabled.
106IM / P2P BlockingIM, short for Instant Message, is required to use client program software that allows users to communicate, in exchanging text message, with other IM users in real time over the Internet. A P2P application, known as Peer-to-peer, is group of computer users who share file to specific groups of people across the Internet. Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster and easier but your network can become increasingly insecure at the same time. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access to the commonly used IM, Yahoo and MSN, and P2P, BitTorrent and eDonkey, applications over the Internet. Instant Message Blocking: The default is set to Disabled. Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed. Always On: Action is enabled. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self-defined time period. You may specify the time period to trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.Yahoo/MSN Messenger: Check the box to block either or both Yahoo or/and MSN Messenger. To be sure you enabled the Instant Message Blocking first.Peer to Peer Blocking: The default is set to Disabled. Disabled: Instant Message blocking is not triggered. No action will be performed.Always On: Action is enabled. TimeSlot1 ~ TimeSlot16: This is the self-defined time period. You may specify the time period to trigger the blocking, i.e. during working hours. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. BitTorrent / eDonkey: Check the box to block either or both Bit Torrent or/and eDonkey. To be sure you enabled the Peer to Peer Blocking first.
107Firewall LogFirewall Log display log information of any unexpected action with your firewall settings. Check the Enable box to activate the logs. Log information can be seen in the Status – Event Log after enabling.
108VPN - Virtual Private Networks Virtual Private Networks is ways to establish secured communication tunnels to an organization’s network via the Internet. Your router supports three main types of VPN (Virtual Private Network): PPTP, IPSec and L2TP.PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)There are two types of PPTP VPN supported; Remote Access and LAN-to-LAN (please refer below for more information). Click Configuration/VPN/PPTP. Name: A given name for the connection.Active: This function activates or deactivates the PPTP connection. Check Active checkbox if you want the protocol of tunnel to be activated and vice versa. Note: When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be available.Connection Type: It informs your PPTP tunnel connection condition. Type: This refers to your router operates as a client or a server, Dialout or Dialin respectively. PPTP Connection - Remote AccessName: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”). Connection Type: Remote Access or LAN to LAN. Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPNserver, e.g. your office server), check Dial In operates as a VPN server. When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Domain Name) you wish to connect to. When configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address assigned to the Dial in
109User. Sever IP Address(or Domain Name):Enter the Server IP Adress or Domain Name. Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own username. Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password. Authentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to determine the authentication type to use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the authentication type you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client. Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm. Default is Auto, so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection, or else you can manually Enable or Disable encryption. Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto, it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger encryption than 40 bit keys. Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets when you select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.Active as default route: Commonly used by the Dial-out connection which all packets will route through the VPN tunnel to the Internet; therefore, active the function may degrade the Internet performance.Active: This function activates or deactivates the PPTP connection. Check Active checkbox if you want the protocol of tunnel to be activated and vice versa. Note: When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be available.Click Edit/Delete button to save your changes.

Note: When the Active checkbox is checked, the function of Edit and Delete will not be available.Name: This is a given name of the connection. Local Subnet: Displays IP address and subnet of the local network. Remote Subnet: Displays IP address and subnet of the remote network. Remote Gateway: This is the IP address or Domain Name of the remote VPN device that is connected and established a VPN tunnel. IPSec Proposal: This is selected IPSec security method.
118IPSec VPN ConnectionName: A given name for the connection (e.g. “connection to office”). Local Network: Set the IP address, subnet or address range of the local network. Single Address: The IP address of the local host. Subnet: The subnet of the local network. For example, IP: 192.168.1.0 with netmask255.255.255.0 specifies one class C subnet starting from 192.168.1.1 (i.e. 192.168.1.1 throughto 192.168.1.254). IP Range: The IP address range of the local network. For example, IP: 192.168.1.1, end IP:192.168.1.10.Remote Secure Gateway Address (or Domain Name): The IP address or hostname of the remote VPN device that is connected and establishes a VPN tunnel. Remote Network: Set the IP address, subnet or address range of the remote network. IKE (Internet key Exchange) Mode: Select IKE mode to Main mode or Aggressive mode. This IKE provides secured key generation and key management. 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).
119Local ID:Content: Input ID’s information, like domain name www.ipsectest.com.Remote ID:Identifier: Input remote ID’s information, like domain name www.ipsectest.comHash Function: It is a Message Digest algorithm which coverts any length of a message into a unique set of bits. It is widely used MD5 (Message Digest) and SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) algorithms. SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower. MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128íbit hash. SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160íbit hash Encryption: Select the encryption method from the pull-down menu. There are several options, DES, 3DES and AES (128, 192 and 256). 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency. DES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method.3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method.AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as en- cryption method. Diffie-Hellman Group: It is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups. IPSec Proposal: Select the IPSec security method. There are two methods of checking the authentication information, AH (authentication header) and ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload). Use ESP for greater security so that data will be encrypted and authenticated. Using AH data will be authenticated but not encrypted. Authentication: Authentication establishes the integrity of the datagram and ensures it is not tampered with in transmit. There are three options, Message Digest 5 (MD5), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1) or NONE. SHA1 is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower. MD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128íbit hash. SHA1: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160íbit hash Encryption: Select the encryption method from the pull-down menu. There are several options, DES, 3DES, AES (128, 192 and 256) and NULL. NULL means it is a tunnel only with no encryption. 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency. DES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method. 3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method.AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as en- cryption method.
120Perfect Forward Secrecy: Choose whether to enable PFS using Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography to change encryption keys during the second phase of VPN negotiation. This function cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit, MODP 1024-bit and MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups.SA Lifetime: Specify the number of minutes that a Security Association (SA) will stay active before new encryption and authentication key will be exchanged. There are two kinds of SAs, IKE and IPSec. IKE negotiates and establishes SA on behalf of IPSec, an IKE SA is used by IKE. Phase 1 (IKE): To issue an initial connection request for a new VPN tunnel. The range canbe from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 480 minutes. Phase 2 (IPSec): To negotiate and establish secure authentication. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 60 minutes. A short SA time increases security by forcing the two parties to update the keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel re-negotiates, access through the tunnel will be temporarily disconnected. PING for Keep Alive:None: The default setting is None. To this mode, it will not detect the remote IPSec peer has been lost or not. It only follows the policy of Disconnection time after no traffic, which the re- mote IPSec will be disconnected afther the time you set in this function. PING: This mode will detect the remote IPSec peer has lost or not by pinging specify IP ad- dress.DPD: Dead peer detection (DPD) is a keeping alive mechanism that enables the router to be detected lively when the connection between the router and a remote IPSec peer has lost. Please be noted, it must be enabled on the both sites. PING to the IP: It is able to IP Ping the remote PC with the specified IP address and alert when the connection fails. Once alter message is received, Router will drop this tunnel connection. Reestablish of this connection is required. Default setting is 0.0.0.0 which disables the function. Interval: This sets the time interval between Pings to the IP function to monitor the connection status. Default interval setting is 10 seconds. Time interval can be set from 0 to 3600 second, 0 second disables the function. Ping to the IP Interval (sec) Ping to the IP Action0.0.0.0 0 No0.0.0.0 2000 Noxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (A valid IP Address) 0 Noxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(A valid IP Address) 2000 Yes, activate it in every 2000 second.Disconnection Time after no traffic: It is the NO Response time clock. When no traffic stage time is beyond the Disconnection time set, Router will automatically halt the tunnel connection and re-establish it base on the Reconnection Time set. 180 seconds is minimum time interval for this function.Reconnection Time: It is the reconnecting time interval after NO TRAFFIC is initiated. 3 minutes
121is minimum time interval for this function. Click Edit/Delete to save your changes.

139VoIP - Voice over Internet ProtocolVoIP enables telephone calls through existing Internet connection instead of going through the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). It is not only cost-effective, especially for a long distance telephone charges, but also toll-quality voice calls over the Internet. Here are the items within the VoIP section: SIP Device Parameters, SIP Accounts, Phone Port, PSTN Dial Plan, VoIP Dial Plan, Call Features, Speed Dial and Ring &Tone.
140SIP Device ParametersThis section provides easy setup for your VoIP service. Phone port 1 and 2 can be registered to different SIP Service Provider. SIP Device ParametersSIP: To use VoIP SIP as VoIP call signaling protocol. Default is set to Disable. Silence Suppression (VAD): Voice Activation Detection (VAD) prevents transmitting the nature silence to consume the bandwidth. It is also known as Silence Suppression which is a software application that ensures the bandwidth is reserved only when voice activity is activated. Default is set to Enable. Echo Cancellation: G.168 echo canceller is an ITU-T standard. It is used for isolating the echo while you are on the phone. This helps you not to hear much of your own voice reflecting on the phone while you talk. Default is set to Enable. RTP Port: Provide the based value from the media (RTP) ports that are assigned for various endpoints and the different call sessions that may exist within an end-point. (Range from 5100 to 65535, default value is 5100) Region: This selection is a drop-down box, which allows user to select the country for which the VoIP device must work. When a country is selected, the country parameters are automatically loaded.Voice QoS, DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to assign specific application traffic to be executed in priority by the next Router based on the DSCP value. See Table 4. The DSCP Mapping Table: 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.
141Advanced – ParametersVoIP through IP Interface: IP Interface decides where to send/receive the voip traffic; it includes: ipwan and iplan. Easy way to select the interface is to check the location of the SIP server. If it locates some where in the Internet then select ipwan. If the VoIP SIP server is on the local Network then select iplan.Voice Frame Size: Frame size is available from 10ms to 60ms. Frame size meaning how many milliseconds the Voice packets will be queued and sent out. It is ideal to have the same frame size in both of Caller and Receiver. Dial Plan Priority: Define the priority between VoIP and PSTN dial plan.PSTN Auto-fallback: Whenever VoIP SIP responses error and error code matching with the codes in the Edit section, the VoiP calls will automatically fallback to PSTN. In the other word, the call will be called via the PSTN when VoIP SIP returns an error code. Click the Edit to add or remove the responses code. To be sure the code is separated by a comma (,). For more information about SIP responses codes, please check to link to http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/sip+response+codes where you can get to know the meaning of each error code. T.38 Fax Relay: It allows the transfer of facsimile documents in real-time between two standard Group 3 facsimile terminals over the Internet or other networks using IP protocols. It will only function when both sites are support this feature and enabled. Advanced – PSTN Environment AdjustmentPSTN Environment Adjustment options will help you to adjust the onhook and offhook voltage detection values for your environment. You should use these if the default values are incorrect and result in PSTN calls not being detected properly, e.g. calls being terminated within 5 seconds of being answered. The actual levels are determined by your environment including the number and type of telephones used. Note: ONHOOK means hung up.
142To take your phone OFFHOOK, lift the receiver then press Hook/Flash until you hear your normal PSTN dialtone, not your VoIP dialtone. Wait several seconds and then press Check Level. You should check the OFFHOOK value for each telephone you have connected to this device. Set the OFFHOOK voltage to the lowest setting registered for all your telephones, e.g. if your telephones return values of 4, 5 and 7 then you should set your OFFHOOK voltage to 4. Note: The detected values will not automatically be set by the Check Level function; you must enter the lowest level detected after testing all your telephones.
143SIP AccountsThis section reflects and contains basic settings for the VoIP module from selected provider in the Wizard section. Fail to provide correct information will halt making calls out to the Internet. Profile Name: User-defined name is for identifying the Profile. Registrar Address (or Hostname): Indicate the VoIP SIP registrar IP address. Registrar Port: Specify the port of the VoIP SIP registrar on which it will listen for register requests from VoIP device. Expire: Expire time for the registration message sending. User Domain/Realm: Set different domain name for the VoIP SIP proxy server. Outbound Proxy Address: Indicate the VoIP SIP outbound proxy server IP address. This parameter is very useful when VoIP device is behind a NAT.

Press “+“, the plus sign, to increase either microphone or/both speaker’s level of your telephone.
146PSTN Dial Plan (Router with LINE port only)This section enables you to configure “VoIP with PSTN switching” on your system. You can define a range of dial plans to make regular call from VoIP switching to PSTN line. Prefix numbers is essential key to make a distinguishing between VoIP and Regular phone call. If actual numbers dialed matches with prefix number defined in this dial plan, the dialed number will be routed to the PSTN to make a regular call. Otherwise, the number will be routed to the VoIP networks. Reminder! In order to utilize this feature, you must have registered and connected to yourSIP Server first.Prefix: Specify number(s) for switching to a PSTN call. Number of Digits: Specify the total number of digits wish to dial out. Maximum digit number is 15. Action: Specify a dialing method you wish to make PSTN call(s). Dial with Prefix: The dialed number with prefix will be sent call through the PSTN. Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length requires matching in the Number ofDigits filed.Dial without Prefix: The dialed number will be sent call through the PSTN without prefix. Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length requires matching in the Number ofDigits filed.Dial at Timeout: The dialed number will be sent call through the PSTN with the prefix when timeout starts. This timeout activates when no more digits are dialed in a specific duration. Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length MUST NOT exceed in the Number ofDigits filed.Dial at Timeout no Prefix: The dialed number will be sent call through the PSTN withoutprefix when timeout starts. This timeout activates when no more digits are dialed in a specific duration.Note: The actual dialed number of valid digits length MUST NOT exceed in the Number ofDigits filed.
147PSTN Dial Plan Examples:˄ˁʳʳʳDial with PrefixIf you dial 01223 707070, number 01223707070 will be dialed out via FXO to make a regular phone call.˅ˁʳʳʳDial without PrefixIf you dial 9102, the number 102 will only be dialed out via FXO port to make a regular phone call.
148ˆˁʳʳʳDial at TimeoutIf you only dial 01223 7070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 012237070 will be dialed to make a regular call via FXO port.
149Even though 7070 (only 4 digits) does not match with number of digits 6 defined in the filed, 7070 is still a valid phone number since it has not exceeded 6 digits.ˇˁʳʳʳDial at Timeout no PrefixIf you only dial 97070 and no more numbers, after the timeout activates, 7070 will be dialed without prefix to make a regular call via FXO port. Even though 7070 (only 4 digits) does not match with number of digits 6 defined in the filed, 7070 is still a valid phone number since it has not exceed 6 digits.
150VoIP Dial PlanThis section helps you to make a telephony number dialed as making a regular call via VoIP. You no longer need to memorize a long dial string of number for making a VoIP call. Go to Configuration > VoIP > VoIP Dial Plan. Dial Plan RulesClick the Add button to create and define a VoIP dial-plan rule(s). PrefixProcessing:Prepend xxx unconditionally: xxx number is appended unconditionally to the front of the dialing number when making a call. Prefix can also be included with any number and/or character such as +,*, #.Note: For special service with +, *, #, you may need to check with your VoIP or Local TelephoneService Provider for information.If Prefix is xxx, delete it: Prefix xxx is removed from the dialing numbers before making a call. If Prefix is xxx, replace with: Prefix xxx is appended to the front of the dialing numbers when making a call. No prefix: No prefix is appended to the front of the dialing numbers. It is set as in default settings.
151Main Digit Sequence: The call(s) can be called out via SIP or PSTN or ENUM. x: Any numeric number between 0 and 9. . ( period ): Repeat numeric number(s) between 0 and 9. * (asterisk sign): It is normal character ‘*’ on phone key pad. Please check if special service(s) is provided by your VoIP Service Provider or your Local Telephone Service Provider. # (pound sign): It is normal character ‘#’ on phone key pad. Please check if it is provided by your VoIP Service Provider or Local Telephone Service Provider for special service(s). <@ Current Profile>: Referring to the VoIP account registered on the VoIP Wizard for Port 1 / 2. <@ PSTN>: Meaning making call(s) via the PSTN line. <@ENUM>: Meaning making a VoIP SIP direct call via E.164 number (“ENUM”) to an ENUM callee.Electronic Number (ENUM) uses the DNS (Domain Network System) based technology to map between a traditional phone number (PSTN) to an Internet addresses/ SIP URL. The ENUM number must be registered via a public ENUM site or your VoIP Service Provider. <@ SIPgateway>: It is used for the Intelligent Call Routing feature where you need to set up your SIP account on the VoIP User-defined Profiles link on the VoIP Wizard page. Go to the VoIP Wizard in this manual for more information. Dial-Plan Examples: Descriptionx. Any digit number between 0 and 9 in variable length.

Starting with ‘## sign’ + any two digit numbers + ‘* sign’ + any number (0-9) in variable length. Maximum length is 16.
153Call FeatureVoIP has all the basic features of a traditional phone. Besides the provided basic features, VoIP also comes with several enhanced features that allows you to further customize their settings to suit your personal needs such as call forwarding setting, call waiting time length, conference call feature, anonymous call feature and incoming no answer timer. Speed DialSpeed Dial comes in handy to store frequently used telephone numbers which you can press number from 0 to 9 and the pound sign (#) on the phone keypad to activate the function. For example, speed dial to phone number lists on 9, just press keypad 9 then #. Your router will automatically call out to number listed on entry 9.
154Ring & ToneThis section allows advanced user to change the existing or newly defined parameters for the various ring tones (dial tone, busy tone, answer tone and etc.) Country Specific Ring&ToneRegion: Select a country ring-tone, from the drop-down list, where you are located. This VoIP router provides default parameter of ring tones according to different countries. The ring-tone parameters are automatically displayed after entering a specific country. If your country is not in the list, you may manually create ring-tone parameters. Ring ParametersRing Cadence (in ms): Ring cadence is defined by three fields, Frequency: On Time1, Off Time1, On Time2, Off Time2 and On Time3, Off Time3. Frequency is specified in Hertz. Time is given in milliseconds.
155Tone ParametersYou may need to check with your local telephone service provider for such information. Also, it is recommended that this option be configured by advanced user unless you are instructed to do so. Click Apply to apply the settings.
156QoS - Quality of ServiceQoS 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. Here are the items within the QoS section: Prioritization, Outbound IP Throttling & Inbound IP Throttling (bandwidth management).PrioritizationThere are three priority settings to be provided in the Router: HighNormal (The default is normal priority for all of traffic without setting) LowAnd the balances of utilization for each priority are High (60%), Normal (30%) and Low (10%). To delete the application, you can choose Delete option and then click Edit/Delete.Name: User-define description to identify this new policy/application. Time Schedule: Scheduling your prioritization policy. Priority: The priority given to each policy/application. Its default setting is set to High; you may adjust this setting to fit your policy/application. Protocol: The name of supported protocol. Source IP Address Range: The source IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Source Port: The source port of packets to be monitored.
157Destination IP address Range: The destination IP address or range of packets to be monitored. Destination Port: The destination port of packets to be monitored. DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to assign specific application traffic to be executed in priority by the next Router based on the DSCP value. See Table 4 for DSCP Mapping Table.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.Table 4: DSCP Mapping TableDSCP Mapping Table(Wireless) ADSL Router Standard DSCPDisabled NoneBest Effort Best Effort (000000)Premium Express Forwarding (101110)Gold service (L) Class 1, Gold (001010)Gold service (M) Class 1, Silver (001100)Gold service (H) Class 1, Bronze (001110)Silver service (L) Class 2, Gold (010010)Silver service (M) Class 2, Silver (010100)Silver service (H) Class 2, Bronze (010110)Bronze service (L) Class 3, Gold (011010)Bronze service (M) Class 3, Silver (011100)Bronze service (H) Class 3, Bronze (011110)Outbound IP Throttling (LAN to WAN)IP Throttling allows you to limit the speed of IP traffic.

162Mission-critical applicationMostly the VPN connection is mission-critical application for doing data exchange between head and branch office. The mission-critical application must be sent out smoothly without any dropping. Set priority as high level for preventing any other applications to saturate the bandwidth. Voice applicationVoice is latency-sensitive application. Most VoIP devices are use SIP protocol and the port number will be assigned by SIP module automatically. Better to use fixed IP address for catching VoIP packets as high priority. Above settings will help to improve quality of your VoIP service when traffic is full loading. Restricted ApplicationSome of companies will setup FTP server for customer downloading or home user sharing their files by using FTP.
163With above settings that help to limit utilization of upstream of FTP. Time schedule also help you to only limit utilization at daytime. Advanced setting by using IP throttlingWith IP throttling you can specify more detail for allocating bandwidth; even the applications are located in the same level. Upstream: 928kbps (29*32kbps) Mission-critical Application: 192kbps (6*32kbps) Voice Application: 128kbps (4*32kbps) Restricted Application: 160kbps (5*32kbps) Other Applications: 448kbps (14*32kbps) 6+4+14+5=29, 29*32kbps=928kbps
164Sometime your customers or friends may upload their files to your FTP server and that will saturate your downstream bandwidth. The settings below help you to limit bandwidth for the restricted application.
165Virtual Server (known as 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. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server. The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT. The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network
166Porting Forwarding Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when using NAT, as all incoming connection attempts will 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 will be forwarded to the corresponding internal server. Application: Users-define description to identify this entry or click the Application drop-down menu to select an existing predefined rules. :20 predefined rules are available. Application, Protocol and External/Redirect Ports will be filled after the selection. Protocol: It is the supported protocol for the virtual server. In addition to specifying the port number to be used, you will also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol used is determined by the particular application. Most applications will use TCP or UDP. Time Schedule: User-defined time period to enable your virtual server. You may specify a time schedule or Always on for the usage of this Virtual Server Entry. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule sectionExternal Port: The Port number on the Remote/WAN side used when accessing the virtual server. Redirect Port: The Port number used by the Local server in the LAN network. Internal IP Address: The private IP in the LAN network, which will be providing the virtual server application. List all existing PCs connecting to the network. You may assign a PC with IP address and MAC from this list. Example:If you like to remote accessing your Router through the Web/HTTP at all time, you would need to
167enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with IP address of 192.168.1.254. Since port number 80 has already been predefined, next to the Application click Helper. A list of predefined rules window will pop and select HTTP_Sever.

168Edit DMZ HostThe 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 the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries. Cautious: This Local computer exposing to the Internet may face varies of security risks.Go to Configuration > Virtual Server > Edit DMZ Host Enabled: It activates your DMZ function. Disabled: As set in default setting, it disables the DMZ function. Internal IP Address: Give a static IP address to the DMZ Host when Enabled radio button is checked.

173Time ScheduleThe 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.
174Configuration of Time ScheduleEdit a Time Slot˄ˁʳʳʳChoose any Time Slot (ID 1 to ID 16) to edit, click Edit radio button.Note: Watch it carefully, the days you have selected will present in capital letter. Lower case letter shows the day(s) is not selected, and no rule will apply on this day(s).2. A detailed setting of this Time Slot will be shown.ID: This is the index of the time slot. Name: A user-define description to identify this time portfolio. Day in a week: The default is set from Monday through Friday. 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. Choose Edit radio button and click Edit/Delete button to apply your changes.
175Delete a Time SlotSelect the Delete radio button of the selected Time Slot under the Time Slot section, and click the Edit/Delete button to confirm the deletion of the selected Time profile, i.e. erase the Day and back to default setting of Start Time / End Time.
176AdvancedConfiguration 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. Here are the items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS, Device Management, IGMP and VLAN Bridge.Static RouteGo to Configuration > Advanced > Static Route. Destination: This is the destination subnet IP address. Netmask: Subnet mask of the destination IP addresses based on above destination subnet IP. Gateway: This is the gateway IP address to which packets are to be forwarded. Interface: Select the interface through which packets are to be forwarded. Cost: This is the same meaning as Hop. This should usually be left at 1.
177Static ARP Go to Configuration > Advanced > 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.
178Dynamic DNSThe 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/ There are more than 5 DDNS services supported. Dynamic DNS:Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function.Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated and required.Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with. 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.
179Device ManagementThe Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s security options and device monitoring features. Device Host NameHost Name: Assign it a name.(The Host Name cannot be used with one word only. There are two words should be connected with a ‘.’ at least.Example:Host Name: homegateway ==> IncorrectHost Name: home.gateway or my.home.gateway ==> Correct)Embedded Web Server ( 2 Management IP Accounts)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.
180Management IP Address: You may specify an IP address allowed to logon and access the router’s web server. Setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 will disable IP address restrictions, allowing users to login from any IP address. Expire to auto-logout: Specify a time frame for the system to auto-logout the user’s configuration session.
181For 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 seconds. The router will only allow 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 seconds, the device will automatically logout 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: Its default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended for users to use this port value. If this value conflicts with other ports already being used you may wish to change the port. 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 SNMPv3SNMPv2c 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
182for “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. The following MIBs are supported:From RFC 1213 (MIB-II)System group System group Interface group Address Translation group IP groupICMP GroupTCP groupUDP group EGP (not applicable) TransmissionSNMP group From RFC 1650 (EtherLike-MIB)dot3statsFrom RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB)dot1 dBase group dot1 dTp group dot1 dStp group (if configured as span- ning tree) From RFC 1471 (PPP/LCP MIB)pppLink group pppLgr group (not applicable) From RFC 1472 (PPP/Security MIB)PPP security groupFrom RFC 1473 (PPP/IP MIB)PPP IP groupFrom RFC 1474 (PPP/Bridge MIB)PPP Bridge groupFrom RFC 1573 (IfMIB)ifMIBObjects groupFrom RFC 1695 (atmMIB)atmMIBObjectsFrom RFC 1907 (SNMPv2)only snmpSetSerialNo OID
183IGMPIGMP, known as Internet Group Management Protocol, is used to management hosts from multicast group. IGMP Forwarding: Accepting multicast packet. Default is set to Enable. IGMP Snooping: Allowing switched Ethernet to check and make correct forwarding decisions. Default is set to Disable. VLAN BridgeThis section allows you to create VLAN group and specify the member. Edit: Edit your member ports in selected VLAN group. Create VLAN: To create another VLAN group.
184LogoutTo exit the router web interface, choose Logout. Please save your configuration setting before logging out of the system. Be aware that the router configuration interface can only be accessed by one PC at a time. Therefore when a PC has logged into the system interface, the other users cannot access the system interface until the current user has logged out of the system. If the previous user forgets to logout, the second PC can only access the router web interface after a user-defined auto logout period which is by default 3 minutes. You can however modify the value of the auto logout period using the Advanced > Device Management section of the router web interface. Please see the Advanced section of this manual for more information.
185Chapter 5: TroubleshootingIf your router is not functioning properly, please refer to the suggested solutions provided in this chapter. If your problems persist or the suggested solutions do not meet your needs, please kindly contact your service provider or Billion for support. Problems with the routerProblem Suggested ActionNone of the LEDs lit when the router is turned on.Check the connection between the router and the adapter. If the problem persists, most likely it is due to the malfunction of your hardware. Please contact your service provider or Billion for technical support.You have forgotten your login username or passwordTry the default username "admin" and password "admin". If this fails, you can restore your router to its factory settings by holding the Reset button on the back of your router more than 6 secondsProblems with WAN interfaceProblem Suggested ActionInitialization of PVC connection (line- sync)failMake sure that the telephone cable is properly con- nected between the ADSL port and the wall jack. The ADSL LED on the front panel should lit. Check that your VPI, VCI, encapsulation type and type of multi- plexing settings are the same as those provided by your ISP. Reboot the router GE. If you still have prob- lem, you may need to verify these settings with your ISP.Frequent loss of ADSL linesync(disconnection)Make sure that all devices (e.g telephone, fax ma- chine, analogue modems) that are connected to the telephone line as your router have a line filter con- nected between them and the wall outlet (unless your are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician). Make sure that alll line filters are correctly installed as missing line filters or incorrect installation of line filters can cause ADSL connection problem, including frequent disconnec- tions.
186Problem with LAN interfaceProblem Suggested ActionCannot PING any PC on LAN Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. The LED should be on for the port that has a PC connected. If it does not lit, check to see if the cable between your router and the PC is properly connected. Make sure you have first unin- stalled your firewall program before troubleshooting.Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consis- tent for both the router and the workstations.
