Introduction
1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 7300M
Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7300M 802.11g MIMO ADSL2+ Modem/Router by
Billion. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL router
and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your
network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.
The BiPAC 7300M router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and
supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Designed
for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet
connections. You 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 BiPAC 7300M 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 your ISP. Your
new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection, the BiPAC 7300M allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by
outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address
Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming
data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block
internal users from accessing the Internet.
The BiPAC 7300M provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses
1

making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a
hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports
to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet
applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal
services on your network.
The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow
multiple users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local
machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP
server and reboot. Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and
assigns an IP address to instantly connect it to theLAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service (port forwarding) functions allow the product to provide
limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. You can set an
ISP (Internet Service Provider) provided IP address on the BiPAC 7300M and then you can
reroute specific services to individual computers on your local network. For instance, a
dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then incoming
requests for web pages that are received by the router can be rerouted to your dedicated
local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address.
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you can
set the router 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
Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable
The BiPAC 7300M complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates
of 8Mbps withADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, and
upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also
broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and
real-time audio which are easier and faster than ever. The router is compliant with
Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.hs (ITU G994.1);
G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); and G.dmt.bisplus (ITU G.992.5)
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, with auto dection allowing you to use either
straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
The router supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP 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 an ISP. The router also supports VC-based and
LLC-based multiplexing.
Quick Installation Wizard
A web-based GUI and quick installation wizard help you easily install the BiPAC 7300M.
Enter your ISP’s information and begin browsing 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, and it makes setting up a network simple and
affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity
networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this
feature enabled, you can seamlessly connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.
Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such
as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many
application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet,
E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
Firewall
NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the
Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.

Domain Name System Relay
Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a
user-friendly name such as www.billion.com with an IP address. When a local machine sets
its DNS server to the router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC
to this router is forwarded to the real DNS on 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. To use the service, you must first apply for
an account from a DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
The BiPAC 7300M 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.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority
by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or
management information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy
load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address,
protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass
through the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing
doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change
the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.
Virtual Server:
You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming
service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you
can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network.
Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ
host setting is also provided for local computers exposed to the outside Internet network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider
(ISP) automatically. On a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP
addresses, including subnet masks and DNS IP addresses and distributes them to local
computers. This provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
Rich Packet Filtering
4

This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering
packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of security control.
Static and RIP1/2 Routing
An easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol supports routing capability.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP allows convenient remote management of the router.
Web-based GUI
A web-based GUI offers easy configuration and management. User-friendly and with on-line
help, it also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and
manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
You can upgrade the router with the latest firmware through its web-based GUI.

2.5 Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSLline(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, analog 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 frequent disconnections.

Installation
You can configure the BiPAC 7300M router through the convenient and user-friendly
interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux, Mac and
Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.
3.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface and connect to the router directly or
through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and
configured to obtain an IPaddress 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 easiest way is to
configure the PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you
encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you are advised 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.
Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all,
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.
A
ny TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with o
r
through the BiPAC 7300M. To configure other types of workstations,
please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
