Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction to your Router

The Billion BiPAC 8920AX(L) , a multi service VDSL2 Dual-lines (30a) Router over comparable

single-port model. It features fibre-ready dual-WAN VDSL2 supports backward compatibility to

ADSL2+ for a longer reach distance, an all-in-one advanced device including concurrent dual-band

802.11ac (5GHz) 1300Mbps and 802.11n (2.4GHz) 300Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet. As well as being

IPv6-capable, the BiPAC 8920AX(L) VDSL2 router supports superfast fibre connections via a

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. It also has one USB port, allowing the device to act as a print server as

well as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) and

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access. With an array of advanced features, the Billion BiPAC

8920AX(L) delivers a future-proof solution for VDSL2 connections, superfast FTTC and ultra-speed

FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) network deployment and services.

Flexible Deployment Options

The BiPAC 8920AX(L) provides users with flexible, scalable deployment options optimized to both

reduce costs and provide the longest possible lifespan for the investment. The BiPAC8920AX(L)

integrates dual WAN options; a VDSL2/ADSL2+ interface and a second 10/100/1000 Ethernet

WAN interface which can be used for broadband connectivity to any other Ethernet broadband

device. Operators can now deploy one device to support current and future network migration.

Maximum wireless performance

Featured with simultaneous dual-band technology, the BiPAC 8920AX(L) can run both 2.4GHz and

5GHz frequency bands at the same time, offering ultra-fast wireless speeds of up to 1600Mbps

(1300+300 )and multiple SSIDs on both bands. The BiPAC 8920AX(L), by adopting this state-of-

the-art technology, allows for multiple-demand applications, such as streaming HD videos and

multiplayer gaming simultaneously. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and

Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access

control over wireless LAN. The router also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard,

allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by simply pushing a button. If your network

requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows

you to expand your wireless network without the need for any external wires or cables.

Experience Gigabit

The BiPAC 8920AX(L) has five Gigabit LAN ports and port #5 can be configured as an Ethernet

WAN port. This EWAN offers another broadband connectivity option for connecting to a cable, DSL,

fibre modem. The BiPAC8920AX(L) again offers users convenience and optimal network

performance with data rates reaching up to 1Gbps.

IPv6 supported

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed

IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit

address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about

3.4×1038) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic

and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread

deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.

IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address

autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing

Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the

host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the

host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).

Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security

(IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4

(into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a

fundamental interoperability requirement.

Virtual AP

A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a

single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be

an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example,

multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and

capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different

capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously.

Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate

authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without

sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.

Web Based GUI

It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with

online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and

manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems 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 all lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables. If

the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact technical

support.

Make sure you have a line filter with all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems)

connected to the same telephone line and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or

Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are

correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way

around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.

If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician

to make any necessary changes.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The 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 8, Windows 7 / 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.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through this router. To

configure other types of workstations, please consult your manufacturer documentation.

configure your router.

LAN, Wireless 2.4G (wl0), Wireless 5G (wl1), WAN, System, IP Tunnel, Security, Quality of

Service, NAT and Wake On LAN.

The function of each configuration sub-item is described in the following sections.

LAN - Local Area Network

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers

are connected. This type of network is area defined and is usually limited to a confined region within

a building.

Ethernet

Parameters

Group Name: This refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section; you can set the

parameters for the specific group. Select the group via the drop-down box. For more information

please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.

IP address: the IP address of the router. Default is 192.168.1.254.

Subnet Mask: the default Subnet mask on the router.

IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function. Without IGMP snooping,

multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all

ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have

members of that group.”

When enabled, you will see two modes:

 Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no

client subscribes to a multicast group.

 Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there are no

client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.

IGMP LAN to LAN Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)

Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he wants to get IGMP

snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled.

LAN side firewall: Enable to drop all traffic from the specified LAN group interface. After activating it,

all incoming packets by default will be dropped, and the user on the specified LAN group interface

can't access CPE anymore. But, you can still access the internet service. If user wants to manage

the CPE, please turn to IP Filtering Incoming to add the allowing rules. Note that all incoming

packets by default will be dropped if the LAN side firewall is enabled and user cannot manage this

CPE from the specified LAN group.

DHCP Server

You 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.

 Disable

Disable the DHCP Server function.

 Enable

Enable the DHCP function, enter the information wanted. Here as default.

Start IP Address: The start IP address of the range the DHCP Server used to assign to the Clients.

End IP Address: The end IP address f the range the DHCP Server used to assign to the Clients.

Leased Time (hour): The leased time for each DHCP Client.

Option 66: Click Enable to activate DHCP option 66 for some special devices, like IPTV Set Box.

The devices can get firmware or some special service from the TFTP server. User needs to set the

IP or hostname of the TFTP server.

User Router’s setting as DNS server: Select whether to enable use router’s setting as DNS server,

if enabled, the PCs on the LAN side obtain the router’s setting as DNS server. If disabled, please

specify exactly the primary/secondary DNS server.

Primary/Secondary DNS server: Specify your primary/secondary DNS server for your LAN devices.

 DHCP Server Relay

DHCP Server IP Address: Please enter the DHCP Server IP address.

Static IP List

The specified IP will be assigned to the corresponding MAC Address listed in the following table

when DHCP Server assigns IP Addresses to Clients.

Press Add to the Static IP List.

Enter the MAC Address, IP Address, and then click Apply to confirm your settings. But the IP

assigned should be outside the range of 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199.

IP Alias

This function allows the creation of multiple virtual IP interfaces on this router. It helps to connect two

or more local networks to the ISP or remote node.

IP Alias: Check whether to enable this function.

IP Address: Specify an IP address on this virtual interface.

Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.

Click Apply to apply your settings.

IPv6 Autoconfig

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, the prefix and the interface ID.

There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is “stateful” configuration,

for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto-

configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and

parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which

addresses have been assigned to which hosts.

The second way is “stateless” configuration. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual

configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The

stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally

available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers

advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an

"interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by

combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.

Group Name: Here group refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section, you can set

the parameters for the specific group. Select the group by the drop-down box. For more

information please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.

Static LAN IPv6 Address Configuration

Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter the static LAN IPv6 address.

IPv6 LAN application

DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.

DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is

available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in

LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using

a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by

routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. Stateful: if selected,

the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information

from DHCPv6 server.

Start interface ID: Enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the

prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.

End interface ID: Enter the end interface ID.

Note: Interface ID does NOT support ZERO COMPRESSION "::". Please enter the complete

information.

For example: Please enter "0:0:0:2" instead of "::2".

Leased Time (hour): The leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to

clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.

Issue Router Advertisement: Check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to

send Router Advertisement messages periodically.

ULA Prefix Advertisement: Enable this parameter to include the ipv6 ULA address in the RA

messages. ULA, unique local address, is an IPv6 address in the block fc00::/7. It is approximately

the IPv6 counterpart of the IPv4 private address. They are not routable in the global IPv6 Internet.

RADVD Type: The way that ULA prefix is generated.

 Randomly Generated

 Statically Configured: select to set manually in the following parameters.

Prefix: Set the prefix manually.

Preferred Life Time: The ULA prefix life time. When the time is over, the ULA prefix is invalid any

more, -1 means no limit.

Valid Life Time: It is a time threshold, when the time is over, clients should obtain new IPv6 address

from the router through RA; -1 means to be limitless.

MLD snooping: Similar to IGMP snooping, listens in on the MLD conversation between hosts and

routers by processing MLD packets sent in a multicast network, and it analyzes all MLD packets

between hosts and the connected multicast routers in the network. Without MLD snooping, multicast

traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With

MLD snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that

group.

 Standard Mode: In standard mode, multicast traffic will flood to all bridge ports when no

client subscribes to a multicast group.

 Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data will be blocked when there is no

client subscribes to a multicast group, it won’t flood to the bridge ports.

MLD LAN to LAN Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN)

Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he want to get MLD

snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled

Stateless and Stateful IPv6 address Configuration

Stateless: Two methods can be carried.

 With DHCPv6 disabled, but Issue Router Advertisement Enabled

With this method, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are

configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a

combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by

routers.

 With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled

With this method, the PCs’ addresses in LAN are configured like above method, but they can

obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.

Stateful: two methods can be adopted.

 With only DHCPv6 enabled

With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same as in IPv4, that is addresses are

assigned by DHCPv6 server.

 With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled

With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same like above, and the address

information in RA packets will be neglected.

Interface Grouping

Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known

as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were

attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same

attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not

located on the same network switch.

Each group will perform as an independent network. To support this feature, you must create

mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button.

(Please Note: P5 can be configured as EWAN, and when the device is in EWAN profile, there is no

P5/EWAN interface as P5 is working as a WAN port.)

Groups Isolation: If enabled, devices in one group are not able to access those in the other group.

Click Add to add groups.

Group Name: Type a group name.

Grouped WAN Interfaces: Select from the box the WAN interface you want to applied in the group.

Grouped LAN Interfaces: Select the LAN interfaces you want to group as a single group from

Available LAN Interfaces.

Automatically Add Clients with following DHCP Vendor IDs: Enter the DHCP Vendor IDs for

which you want the Clients automatically added into the group. DHCP vendor ID (DHCP 60) is an

Authentication for DHCP Messages.

Click Apply to confirm your settings and your added group will be listed in the Interface Grouping

table below.

In group "test", P2 and PPP0.1 are grouped in one group, they have their only network , see LAN.

If you want to remove the group, check the box as the following and press Remove.

Note: If you like to automatically add LAN clients to a WAN Interface in the new group add the

DHCP vendor ID string.

By configuring a DHCP vendor ID string any DHCP client request with the specified vendor

ID (DHCP option 60) will be denied an IP address from the local DHCP server.

If a vendor ID is configured for a specific client device, please REBOOT the client device

attached to the modem to allow it to obtain an appropriate IP address.

Each LAN interface can only be added into one group and one WAN interface can only be

used in one group.

Wireless 5G(wl0) & 2.4G(Wl1)

BiPAC 8920AX(L) is a simultaneous dual-band (2.4G and 5G) wireless router support 11b/g/n/a/ac

wireless standards. It allows multiple wireless users in 2.4G and 5G radio bands to surf the Internet,

checking e-mail, watching video, listening to music over the Internet concurrently.

You can choose the optimum radio band wireless connection base on your environment.

Basic

It let you determine whether to enable Wireless function and set the basic parameters of an AP and

the Virtual APs.

Wireless: Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless devices, check the

checkbox again to unselect.

Hide SSID: It is function in which transmits its SSID to the air so that when wireless client searches

for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Check the checkbox to determine

whether you want to hide SSID.

Clients Isolation: if you enabled this function, then each of your wireless clients will not be able to

communicate with each other.

Disable WMM Advertise: Stop the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM)

functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).

Check to disable or enable this function.

Wireless multicast Forwarding (WMF): check to enable or disable wireless multicast forwarding.

SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.

For security purpose, change the default wlan-ap-5g to a unique ID name to the AP already built-in

to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure

your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.

Note: SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.

BSSID: Basic Set Service Identifier, it is a local managed IEEE MAC address, and is 48 bits value.

Country: Different countries have different wireless band resources, so you can select the

appropriate Country according to your location.

Max Clients: enter the number of max clients the wireless network can supports,1-16.

Guest/virtual Access Points: A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical

Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP

appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP

is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising

a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID

but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA

simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with

separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information,

without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual

AP.

Here you can enable some Virtual APs according to the request. And the other parameters of virtual

APs are the same to the above.

Click Apply to apply your settings.

Security

Wireless security prevents unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless network.

Note：

The WPS feature will also be unavailable when the security setting is not WPA2 or OPEN. So, if you

manually set the wireless security setting, you should give notice to it, but you can find prompt

indicating configuration.

WPS Setup

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS is used

to exchange the AP setting with Station and configure Ap settings. This feature greatly simplifies the

steps needed to create a Wi-Fi network for a residential or an office setting. The commonly known

PIN method is supported to configure WPS.

WPS: Select enable to enable WPS function. Please note that WPS can only be available when

WPA2-PSK or OPEN mode is configured.

Note:

1) WPS feature is only available when in WPA2 or OPEN mode in security settings.

2) Here wireless can be configured as Registrar and Enrollee mode respectively. When AP is

configured as Registrar, you should select “Configured” in the WPS AP Mode below, and default

WPS AP Mode is “Configured”. When AP is configured as Enrollee, the WPS AP Mode below

should be changed to “Unconfigured”. Follow the following steps.

Configure AP as Registrar
