1 Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction to Your Router Thank you for purchasing BEC 8920NE The Ultimate Residential Gateway. The BEC 8920NE is an all-in-one Universal Bonded Gateway supporting ultra-broadband triple-play services via multiple WAN connection options. Service providers can utilize one gateway for all major broadband technologies such ADSL2+, VDSL2, xDSL bonding and FTTH. In addition to offering the multiple WAN connection options, the 8920NE integrates multiport Ethernet switching and routing, 802.11n Wireless networking, advanced firewall security including stateful packet inspection, Quality of Service (QoS) and remote management. Users can easily enjoy high bandwidth services such as High Definition IPTV, streaming video, interactive gaming, over-the-top (OTT) applications to multiple devices throughout the home. Flexible Deployment Options The BEC 8920NE provides service operators with flexible, scalable deployment options optimized to both reduce costs and provide the longest possible lifespan for the investment. The BEC 8920NE 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. Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) gives users’ full control over outgoing data traffic. Priority can be assigned by the router to ensure that important transmissions like gaming packets, VoIP calls or IPTV/streaming content passes through the router at lightning speed, even when there is heavy Internet traffic. The speed of different types of outgoing data passing through the gateway is also controlled to ensure that users do not saturate bandwidth with their browsing activities. Robust Firewall Security The NAT default firewall has advanced anti-hacker pattern-filtering protection features that automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. In addition, Packet Filtering provides high-level security for access control. Built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), the router enables users to determine whether or not a data packet is allowed to pass through the firewall to the private LAN. Optimal Wireless Speed and Coverage With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, the router delivers up to 6 times the speed and 3 times the wireless coverage of an 802.11b / g network device. It supports a link rate up to 300Mbps and is also compatible with 802.11b/g equipment. 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 for easy and secure establishment of a wireless home network. If the user’s network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function expands the wireless network without needing any external wires or cables.
2 Pathway to the Future The BEC 8920NE fully supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), implementation of IPv6 is growing significantly and multiple transition methods are required to support the coexistence and migration from IPv4. With BEC IPv6 enabled devices, service providers easily adapt IPv6 to their network as we support major transition mechanisms such as Dual-Stack, Dual-Stack Lite, and 6RD.

56 Virtual Server Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side. In TCP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g. Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you need to configure your router to forward these incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You also need to use port forwarding if you wish to host an online game server. Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information, please see IANA’s website at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers Well-known and Registered Ports Port Number Protocol Description 20 TCP FTP Data 21 TCP FTP Control 22 TCP & UDP SSH Remote Login Protocol 23 TCP TElnet 25 TCP SMTP (simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 53 TCP & UDP DNS (Domain Name Server) 69 UDP TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) 80 TCP World Wide Web HTTP 110 TCP POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) 119 TCP NEWS (Network News Transfer Protocol) 123 UDP NTP (Network Time Protocol) 161 TCP SNMP 443 TCP & UDP HTTPS 1503 TCP T.120 1720 TCP H.323 4000 TCP ICQ 7070 UDP Real Audio

Server IP Address: Enter the IP address.
58 External Port Start / External Port End: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Protocol: In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by a particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you may also specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Internal Port Start / Internal Port End: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Click Apply/Save to confirm the settings and you will be returned to Port Mapping table. Remove: To delete the port mapping entry from the table, check Remove checkbox then click Remove button to delete the selected item. Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from accessed by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a specific port number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request the router for a specified port is received, it is forwarded to the corresponding internal server. For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server (PC) with the IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you need to add it manually. DMZ Host The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets that do not use a port number which is already used by any other Virtual Server entries will first be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before it is passed to the DMZ host. When this is done, press Apply to save the changes. DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the computer's IP address and click Save/Apply to activate the DMZ host. Or you can clear this field and click Save/Apply to inactivate the DMZ host.
