QUICK INSTALL GUIDE
Billion 7402X/GX 3G/ADSL2+ VPN Firewall Modem/Router Set Up
The Billion 7402X/GX 3G/ADSL2/2+ VPN Firewall Modem/Router has a Dual
WAN interface for use with fixed line ADSL services or mobile 3G services.
You can set up the router with:
1. ADSL as the primary WAN interface with 3G as a back-up (Autofailover
mode) or,
2. You can set 3G as the primary WAN interface to create a portable
hotspot, for instance at an exhibition, road show, field trip etc.
This installation guide will take you through the process of initial configuration of
your ADSL settings with 3G as a back-up (see sections 2.1 and 2.3). Once you have
configured your ADSL and 3G settings you can then change the primary WAN
interface to 3G for use as a stand alone 3G router or portable hotspot mode (see
section 2.4).

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). 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 7402X/GX
Modem/Router to the Internet :
a. ISP User Name and Password
b. VPI/VCI parameters
c. Multiplexing Method
d. Host and Domain Names

must ensure ADSL splitters (also called microfilters or filters) are fitted to all
telephone sockets in use.

telephone socket (or ADSL faceplate if you have one) to the DSL Port of your
Billion 7402X/GX Modem/Router.

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 ADSL
connection).
