QUICK INSTALL GUIDE
Billion 7300N Draft 2 ADSL2+ Wireless Modem/Router Installation
1.1 Starting out:
Before you can establish an Internet connection through your Billion 7300N Modem/Router
make sure you have the following:
1. A Computer or Notebook with an installed Network Adaptor (sometimes called an
Ethernet Adaptor, Network Card or NIC)
2. An ADSL or DSL service account and configuration information provided by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP), or an existing cable modem. You should need only a
User Name and Password, but you can check with your ISP to see if you require any
of the other following configuration parameters to connect your Billion 7300N
Modem/Router to the Internet :
a. ISP User Name and Password
b. VPI/VCI parameters
c. Multiplexing Method
d. Host and Domain Names
e. ISP Domain Name Server ( DNS ) Address
f. Fixed or Static IPAddress.
1.2 Steps for Connection:
The following are the steps to properly connect your Billion 7300N Modem/Router. N.B. For
configuration as a broadband router go to steps 4 and 5 and then jump to section 2.1.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. If you do not have an ADSL faceplate installed by your service provider, you must ensure
ADSL splitters (also called microfilters or filters) are fitted to all telephone sockets in use.
3. Connect the supplied ADSL (RJ-11) cable from the splitter/filter of your chosen telephone
socket (or ADSL faceplate if you have one) to the DSL Port of your Billion 7300N
Modem/Router.
4. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable (RJ-45) from one of the Ethernet ports of your Billion
7300N Modem/Router to the Network Adaptor in your computer.
5. Connect the Power adaptor to the Billion 7300N Modem/Router and plug the other end
into a Power outlet. Power up the unit.
6. Turn on your computer. Please allow up to 45 seconds for your Network Adaptor to locate
the Router. Please wait for the DSL light on the front of the router to turn to solid – this
may take up to 1-2 mins (see 3.1 Troubleshooting the connection).

7. You are now ready to configure your ADSL/Broadband and Wireless connection for the
Billion 7300N Modem/Router. All you need to do is to follow the instructions that follow
and enter your User Name and Password as supplied by your Service Provider. No other
changes should be necessary.
2.1 ADSL/Broadband and Wireless Configuration:

name as admin, password as admin and click OK. This will take you to the modem’s
Status page. N.B. For configuration as a broadband router go to section 2.2 now.
* If the user name and password prompt box does not appear make sure
that any firewall or anti-virus such as Trend Micro or Norton is disabled.

to Tools/Internet Options/Connections and make sure “Never dial a
Connection” is checked. Then Click on the LAN settings and ensure
“Automatically detect settings” is checked and all other fields are blank.

3.1 Troubleshooting the ADSL connection:
1. Check that the ADSL light on the front of the router has turned solid. This can take
up to 1-2 mins after switching on. (If the ADSL light slowly flashes then the router is
not detecting an ADSL signal and you should contact your Service Provider
immediately)
2. Ensure your username and password are correct – your username should read
[email protected] (or something similar).
3. Ensure you have a filter attached to the master socket, and check that there are no
phones connected to any extensions that do not have a filter.
If you still can’t get a connection after checking the above – disconnect all phones, sky boxes,
fax machines etc., double–check that all cables are correctly connected and filters properly
attached, restart the router, and try again. If this still fails then we suggest you contact your
Service Provider for further advice.
Billion 7300N Modem/Routers are configured with standard UK ADSL settings. Standard
ADSL UK settings are VPI 0, VCI 38 and Encapsulation PPPoA VC-Mux. A small number
of Service Providers do however have their own proprietary settings. In this case please
contact your Service Provider to confirm their configuration parameters.
