Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
The Billion BiPAC 8900X R3, a multi service VDSL2 (17a) Router. It features fibre-ready triple-WAN
VDSL2 supports backward compatibility to ADSL2+ for a longer reach distance, an all-in-one
advanced device including Gigabit Ethernet, 3G/4G LTE, and NAS (Network Attached Storage) in
one unit. As well as being IPv6-capable, the BiPAC 8900X R3 VDSL2 router supports super-fast
fibre connections via a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. It also has one USB port, allowing the device to
act as a print server as well as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device with DLNA (Digital Living
Network Alliance) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access. Moreover, the USB port can host a
3G/4G LTE modem connecting to the 3G/4G LTE network for Internet access. With an array of
advanced features, the Billion BiPAC 8900X R3 delivers a future-proof solution for VDSL2
connections, super-fast FTTC and ultra-speed FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) network deployment
and services.
Very High-speed Connectivity for Internet Access
The BiPAC 8900X R3 complies with VDSL2 and ADSL2+ worldwide standards and it can support
the downlink data rate of up to 100Mbps and uplink data rate of up to 50Mbps in VDSL2. It’s also
integrated with 4-port 10/100/1000Mbps switch, 1-port Gigabit switch, and 802.11n wireless AP,
enabling users to connect to multiple computers or devices easily.
3G/4G LTE Mobility and Always-on Connectivity
With 3G/LTE-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G/LTE USB modem),
communication via the BiPAC 8900X R3 is becoming more convenient and widely available -
allowing you to watch movies, download music on the road, or access e-mail no matter where you
are. You can even share your Internet connection with others, no matter if you're in a meeting, or
speeding across the country on a train. The auto fail-over feature ensures optimum connectivity and
minimum interruption by quickly and smoothly connecting to a 3G/4G LTE network in the event that
you xDSL/Fibre/Cable line fails. The BiPAC 8900X R3 will then automatically reconnect to the
ADSL/Fibre/Cable connection when it is restored, reducing connection costs. These features are
perfect for office situations when a constant and smooth WAN connection is critical.
Secure VPN Connections
The BiPAC 8900X R3 supports all currently popular secure VPNs, including embedded IPSec VPN,
PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN, GRE, which satisfies different users’ needs, allowing users to establish
encrypted private connections over the Internet with your optimum VPN options. You can access
your corporate Intranet and transmit sensitive data between branch offices and remote sites
anytime; even when you are out of office, thus enhancing productivity.
IPv6 supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed
IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit
address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2
128
(about
3.4×10
38
) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic
and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread

2
deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address
autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing
Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the
host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the
host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).
Web Based GUI
It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with
online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and
manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
