Chapter 1
Introduction the BiPAC 5200N
1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 5200N
Welcome to the Billion BiPAC 5200N ADSL2+ Modem/Router. Your Billion router is an “all-in-one” unit,
combining an ADSLmodem, ADSLrouter and Ethernet network switch, providing everything you need
to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSLbroadband connection.
The BiPAC 5200N complies with ADSL2+ standards for worldwide deployment and supports
downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It is designed for small office,
home office and residential users, enabling even faster speed Internet connections. User can enjoy
ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming
and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever before.
The product supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation Layer
5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA
(RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based
multiplexing.
It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.
This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by
outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT), it also
provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All incoming data packets are monitored and
filtered. Besides, it can also be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.
The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’IP addresses which are
invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine
on your network. Secondly, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside
users can access. For example, to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly,
user can open some specific ports for outside users to access internal services in network.
Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server, allow multiple users to
get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product. Simply set local machines as a
DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from DHCPserver. Each time local machine
is powered up; the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility to local
machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP (Internet Service Providers) provided IP
address can be set to the product and then specific services can be rerouted to specific computers on
the local network. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the

2
product and then incoming requests for HTML that are received by the product can be rerouted to the
dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address. In this example, the
product is on the Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the product can be
set to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP
address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

1.2 Features of the BiPAC 5200N
ADSL Multi-Mode Standard
Supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It also supports rate
management that allows ADSL subscribers to select an Internet access speed suiting their needs and
budgets. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt(G.992.1);
G.lite(G992.2)), G.hs (G994.1), G.dmt.bis (G.992.3), G.dmt.bisplus (G.992.5)). The Annex A and B are
supported in different H/W platforms.
802.11n Wi-Fi
With built-in 802.11n access point for extending the communication media to WLAN while providing
the WEP, WPA and WPA2 for securing your wireless networks.
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 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 cross-over cable can be used directly for
auto detection.
Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection
Supports PPPoA(RFC 2364 - PPP overATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM
(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 Wizard
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 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.
Firewall
Supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking access from Internet,
like Telnet, FTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.
Domain Name System (DNS) relay
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
3

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 first apply for an
account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Provides embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. Users can get greater access
speed without changing the operation concept, sharing the same ISP account and paying for one
access account. No PPPoE client software is required for local computer. The Automatic Reconnect
and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are provided, too.
Virtual Server
User can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming
service request and forward it to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, user can assign
a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside user can
browse inside web server directly while it is protected by NAT. ADMZ host setting is also provided to a
local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.
Dynamic Host Configuration 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.
RIP1/2 Routing
Support RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.
Web based GUI
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.

2.6 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 of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN
Link and ADSL 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 Billion router (e.g.
telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them 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.

Chapter 3
Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, MAC, Linux, etc. The
product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
3.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or
through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IPaddress 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 problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be
advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems
accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how
to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check
your PC’s 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.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the BiPAC 5200N.To configure other types of workstations,
please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
