Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Welcome to Billion BiPAC 5200G RC Series ADSL2+ Firewall Router. Your Billion router is an “all-
in-one” unit, combining an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch, providing
everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL
broadband connection.
This rewall router 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
ofce, home ofce 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 rewall, protecting your network from being accessed by
outside users. Not only provide the natural rewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT),
it also provides rich rewall features to secure user’s network. All incoming data packets are
monitored and ltered. Besides, it can also be congured 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 difcult 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 specic 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 DHCP server . Each time local
machine is powered up; the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it
to the LAN.

2
For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility to local
machines with specic services for outside users. An ISP (Internet Service Providers) provided IP
address can be set to the product and then specic services can be rerouted to specic computers
on the local network. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via
the 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.

Features
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

Fast Ethernet Switch
A 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. An Ethernet straight or crossover cable can be used
directly for auto detection.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
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.
Quick Installation Wizard
It 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

4
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
network, Internet.
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.
RIP1/2 Routing
It has the routing capability that supports RIP1/2 routing protocol.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.
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.

5
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest rmware through the WEB based GUI.
Firewall
Supports simple rewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking access from Internet,
like Telnet, FTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.
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.

Cabling
One of the most common causes of problem 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 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 ADSL 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 7/98/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.
