Chapter 1: ProductIntroduction to your RouterThank you for purchasing BiPAC 8200N Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines a VDSL modem, VDSL2 router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over a VDSL broadband connection.The BiPAC 8200N is an all-in-one VDSL2 Router with the latest draft 802.11n technology. It is designed for home and SOHO users who seek extreme mobility, high-speed wireless connection and better wireless coverage while maintaining high-speed broadband access with VDSL2.The BiPAC 8200N is capable of offering optimal speeds and coverage over the integrated wireless 802.11n access point. The device supports the highest rate of up to 100Mbps/100Mbps in VDSL2 Prole (30a). Since VDSL2 has the characteristic of faster rates over shorter distances, the ideal architecture for Telcoms is to use ber optic lines as the backbone and a VDSL2 line as the last mile into the home or ofce. VDSL2 operates over copper wires so that telecom operators can provide bundled services to end-users similar to those that cable operators offer.With outstanding throughput, the BiPAC 8200N can complement a ber network to offer the best solution for delivering IPTV or home entertainment services. The SOHO Firewall is integrated to provide protection against hacker attacks while the Quality of Service prioritizes queues and trafc for applications such as music downloads, online gaming, video streaming and le sharing.Express Internet Access – VDSL2 capableThe router complies with VDSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 100Mbps with VDSL and upstream rates of 100 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed VDSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio which are easier and faster than ever. The router is compliant with ITU G994.1 and ITU G.997.1. Support VDSL2 Proles: 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 12b, 17a and 30a.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 (VDSL) 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 Wireless Protected Access (WPA) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (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, with auto detection allowing you to use either straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.1
EWANBesides using VDSL to get connected to the Internet, this router offers its Ethernet port 4 as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and ber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more exibility to get online.Multi-Protocol to Establish a ConnectionThe 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 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, you can seamlessly connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.Network Address Translation (NAT)It 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.FirewallNAT technology supports simple rewalls and provides options for blocking access from the Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP. Domain Name System (DNS) Relay It 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 DNSin the outside network.Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must rst apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are supported.PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)This device 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.2
Quality of Service (QoS)QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data trafc 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 congurable 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 ofce 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 ServerUsers 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 specic local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) Client and ServerIn a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. In a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP addresses, including 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 FilteringNot only lters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will lterpackets from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.Web-based GUIIt supports web based GUI for conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes withon-line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to congure andmanage this product.Firmware UpgradeableDevice can be upgraded to the latest rmware through the WEB based GUI. 3

Chapter 2: Product OverviewStandards-Based TechnologyThe BiPAC 8200N Wireless Router utilizes the 802.11n standard. The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11g standard. It increases the data rate up to 300 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within the specied range of this device, you will be able to transfer large les quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. Installation ConsiderationsThe BiPAC 8200N Wireless Router lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. 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 8200N and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your BiPAC 8200N 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.6

The modem emergency-reash web interface will then be accessible via http://192.168.1.254 where you can upload a rmware image to restore the modem to a functional state. Please note that the modem will only respond via its web interface at this address, and will not respond to ping requests from your PC or to telnet connections.2. Recovery procedures for a lost web interface password:After turning the router on, please press the Reset Button on the back of the modem, and hold the button until all the lights on the modem begin to ash and then it will reboot itself to restore the factory default settings. The login username and password will then be reset to admin. You can then access its GUI via its default IP address at http://192.168.1.254/.
CablingOne of the most common causes of problems is because of bad cabling or VDSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and VDSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analog modems) have a line lter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualied and licensed electrician), and that all line lters are correctly installed in a right way. If line lter is not installed and connected properly, it may cause problem to your VDSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.11
Chapter 3: Basic Installation The router can be congured 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 conguration.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 congure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a xed 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 congure 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 rewall 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 congure your PC network environment. 12
