Chapter 1
Introduction the BIPAC-5100/5100W
802.11b is only supported for the BIPAC-5100W
1.1 Introducing the BIPAC-5100/5100W
Welcome to the Billion BIPAC-5100(W) 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.
The BIPAC-5100/5100W integrates high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN
interface(s) and a high-speed ADSL port into a single package.
The BIPAC-5100W provides a wireless LAN connectivity allowing users to enjoy the
convenience and mobility of working anywhere within the coverage area.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface provides easy management and is
totally independent of the operating system platform you use.
1.2 Features of the BIPAC-5100/5100W
ADSL Multi-Mode Standard
Supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. 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)). The Annex A and B are supported in different
H/W platforms.
Wireless Ethernet 802.11b (5100W Only)
Provides a wireless Ethernet 802.11b access point for extending the
communication media to WLAN.
Fast Ethernet Switch
1

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 cross-over cable can be used directly for auto detection.
Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection
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
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 web browser, ICQ, FTP,
Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
Firewall
Supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for blocking
access from Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and ICMP.
Domain Name System (DNS) relay
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 first apply for an account from a DDNS service like
http://www.dyndns.org/.
SUA (“port forwarding”)
2

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 specific 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 Configuration 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
Supports RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.
Web based GUI
Supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly
and comes with on-line 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.
Rich management interfaces
Supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and
WAN port. Users can use terminal applications through the console port to
configure and manage the device, or Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN
or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.

Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a
standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows
98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface
for configuration.
3.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router
either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and
configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed 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 configure the PC to get an IP address
automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing
the router’s web interface it may also be advisable 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. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect
their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of
all, please 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.
