Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Thank you for purchasing 8800N Wireless Broadband Firewall Router. Your new router is an all-
in-one unit that combines an VDSL2/ADSL2+/Broadband router and Ethernet network to offer
users the exibility of multiple Internet connections. All this is offered while maintaining high-speed
broadband access via VDSL2/ADSL2+.
The BEC 8800N automatically adopts the optimal connection to deliver smooth, constant signal
reception even if obstacles are present. By using this device, you can easily enjoy high bandwidth
applications such as High Denition IPTV services without changing their home network. A robust
Firewall is also built in to provide protection against hacker attacks while the Quality of Service
feature prioritizes queues and trafc for applications such as music downloads, online gaming,
video streaming and le sharing.
1

Express Internet Access
The BEC 8800N series is compliant with worldwide VDSL/ ADSL standards, and supports download
rates of up to 100Mbps using VDSL2, 12 / 24Mbps using ADSL2 / 2+, 8Mbps using ADSL and an
upload rate of up to 50Mbps using VDSL2, 1Mbps using ADSL / ADSL2 / ADSL2+. The integrated
Annex M standard supports ADSL2 / 2+ for higher uploads by doubling the upload data rate. The
4-port 10/ 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch incorporated into the BEC 8800N enables users to connect
to multiple computers or wired-Ethernet devices easily and enjoy blistering LAN transmission for
multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, IPTV video streaming and real-time audio.
Multi Network Protocol Support
It 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.
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.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal
This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs
from many different vendors. 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.
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 DNS in 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.
Virtual Server
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 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
2

network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering
Not only lters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets
from the Internet and vice versa, in addition to providing a higher level of security control.
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
In 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.
Web based GUI
It supports web based GUI for conguration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with on-
line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to congure and manage
this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest rmware through the WEB based GUI.

VDSL, FTTH, etc using a RJ-45 cable.
7 DSL Connect the supplied RJ-11 (“telephone”) cable to this port
when connecting to the VDSL/ADSL telephone network.
8

Cabling
One of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling or DSL 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 lter connected between them and the wall outlet (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 DSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

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.
