Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 7300N Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7300N Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection. The BiPAC 7300N router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps.
The BiPAC 7300N provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your network.
1.2 Features Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable The BiPAC 7300N complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 8Mbps with ADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps.

5.3.3 System There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.
5.3.3.1 Time Zone The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified.
5.3.3.2 Firmware Upgrade Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes. Clicking on Browse allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC.
5.3.3.3 Backup / Restore These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration. Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file.
5.3.3.4 Restart Router Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router and save the current configuration to device. If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings. 5.3.3.
You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “admin” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults. 5.3.3.6 Mail Alert Send a log via email, if WAN IP is changed or if intruders accessing your computer without permission 5.3.4 Firewall Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers.
Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network. NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses, which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when the NAT function is enabled. When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings.
A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the Firewall section below: Packet Filter, MAC Address Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING and URL Filter. 5.3.4.1 Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet.
Rule Name: Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length is 32 characters, and then can choose application that they want from listbox. Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or block traffic to/from particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address. Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) that the rule applies to.
Attention If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the same subnet with the router. 5.3.4.
5.3.4.3 Intrusion Detection Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network. If this happens, users will have trouble accessing the network resources.
For SYN Flood, ICMP Echo Storm and ICMP flood, IDS will just warn the user in the Event Log but it will not be able to protect against such attacks.
Src IP: Source IP Src Port: Source Port Dst Port: Destination Port Dst IP: Destination IP 5.3.4.4 Block WAN PING Check Enable if you wish to exclude outside PING requests from reaching this router. 5.3.4.5 URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator – e.g. an address in the form of http://www.example.com ) filter rules allow you to prevent users on your network from accessing particular websites from their URL. There are no pre-defined URL filter rules; you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.
URLs accessed to determine if the connection attempt should be blocked. Note that the URL filter blocks web browser (HTTP) connection attempts using port 80 only. For example, the URL http://www.abc.com/abcde.html would be dropped since the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL. Domains Filtering: Checks the domain name in URLs accessed against your list of domains to block or allow. If it matches, the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is: 1.
Restrict URL Features: This function enhances the restriction to your URL rules. ~ Block Java Applet: Blocks Web content which includes the Java Applet to prevent someone who wants to damage your system via the standard HTTP protocol. ~ Block ActiveX: Blocks ActiveX ~ Block Cookies: Blocks Cookies ~ Block Proxy: Blocks Proxy Except IP Address: Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.
5.3.5 QoS (Quality of Service) Quality of Service Introduction If you’ve ever found your ‘net’ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is using a P2P file sharing program, you’ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.
Direction: The traffic flow direction to be controlled by the QoS policy. There are two settings to be provided in the Router: ~ LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. e.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by the QoS policy. So, you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction setting. ~ WAN to LAN: Control Traffic flow from the WAN to LAN.

Priority: Specify the priority for the bandwidth that is not used. For examples, you may specify two different QoS policies for different applications. Both applications need a minimal bandwidth and need more bandwidth, beside the assigned one, if there is any available/non-used one available. So, you may specify which application can have higher priority to acquire the non-used bandwidth. ~ High ~ Normal: The default is normal priority.

Example QoS Setup VoIP application Voice is latency-sensitive application. Most VoIP devices are used SIP protocol and the port number will be assigned by SIP module automatically. Better to use fixed IP address for catching VoIP packets as high priority.
5.3.6 Virtual Server In TCP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them. If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e.
Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information, please see IANA’s website at: http://www.iana.
5.3.6.1 Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure Protocol: Automatic when you choose Application from listbox or select a protocol type which you want. External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded. Add: Click to add a new virtual server rule. Click again and the next figure appears. Edit: Check the Rule No.
In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by the particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you can specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all” causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified IP address. 5.3.6.2 DMZ DMZ: The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet.
Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All” protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC. Attention 1.
Name: A user-define description to identify this time portfolio. Day in a week: The default is set from Sunday through Saturday. You may specify the days for the schedule to be applied.
