Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
The BiPAC 7800GZ, a Dual-WAN 3G / ADSL2+ firewall router integrated with the 802.11g
Wireless Access Point and 4-port switch is a cutting-edge networking product for SOHO and office
users. Uniquely, the router offers users more flexibility to directly insert a 3G/HSPA SIM card into
its built-in SIM slot instead of requiring external USB modems. This design will avoid compatibility
issues of many different 3G USB modems. With the increasing popularity of the 3G standard,
communication via the BiPAC 7800GZ is becoming more convenient and widely available -
enabling users to use a 3G/UMTS HSDPA/HSUPA or GSM GPRS/EDGE Internet connection,
making downstream rates of up to 7.2Mbps possible. Users can watch movies; download music on
the road or access e-mail wherever a 3G connection is available. Additionally, the integrated IPSec
VPN function allows you to encrypt connections of up to 4 VPN tunnels to securely transmit data
over the Internet. The support for auto fail-over means that users will be assured of a constant
Internet connection - in the event that the ADSL line fails, the BiPAC 7800GZ will connect via the
embedded 3G card to deliver uninterrupted connectivity.
3G Mobility and Always-On Connection
The BiPAC 7800GZ router allows you to insert a 3G/HSPA USIM card to its built-in SIM slot,
enabling you to use a 3G/HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, or GSM Internet connection, which makes
downstream rates of up to 7.2Mbps*4 possible. With the increasing popularity of the 3G standard,
communication via the BiPAC 7800GZ 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 maximum connectivity and
minimum interruption by quickly and smoothly connecting to a 3G network in the event that your
ADSL line fails. The 7800GZ will then automatically reconnect to the ADSL connection when it's
restored, reducing connection costs. These features are perfect for office situations where
constant connection is paramount.
Secure VPN Connections
The BiPAC 7800GZ supports embedded IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols, allowing
users to establish encrypted private connections of up to 4 simultaneous tunnels over the Internet.
You can access your corporate intranet and transmit sensitive data between branch offices and
remote sites anytime; even when you are on the road, thus enhancing productivity.
Smooth, Responsive Net Connection
Quality of Service (QoS) gives users full control over outgoing data traffic. Priority can be assigned
by the router to ensure that important transmissions like gaming packets, VoIP calls or IPTV /
streaming content passes through the router at lightning speed, even when there is heavy Internet
traffic. The speed of different types of outgoing data passing through the router is also controlled to
ensure that users do not saturate bandwidth with their browsing activities.

2
Wireless Mobility and Double-layer Protection
An integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point offers quick yet easy access with data encryption
for added security. Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption
Protocol (WEP) support ensures high-level data protection and WLAN access control. In addition,
rich firewall security features such as SPI, DoS attack prevention and URL content filtering are
integrated to provide unparalleled protection for Internet access. The router also supports the Wi-
Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by
simply pushing a button. If your network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution
System (WDS) repeater function allows you to expand your wireless network without the need for
any external wires or cables.

11
Cabling
One of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all
connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the
LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables. If the
error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should contact technical
support.
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones,
fax machines, analogue 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 causing frequent disconnections. If you have a back-to-base alarm system
you should contact your security provider for a technician to make any necessary changes.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured through 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/Vista,
etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
Please check your PC 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.
There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly
to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior
to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs 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 problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to
uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address
of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.

13
Connecting Your Router
BiPAC 7800GZ offers three modes to connect to the internet. Besides using ADSL, users can set
EWAN (Ethernet port # 4) or 3G for internet connection. BiPAC 7800GZ also allows Dual WAN
connection: ADSL fail-over to 3G, EWAN fail-over to 3G, ADSL fail-over to EWAN, and counter
likewise.
ADSL fail-over to 3G
