Problems Connecting to a Remote Node or ISP
The BIPAC-711 CE provides a high-speed Ethernet port and an USB port for high-speed Internet browsing. It can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2); and G.hs (G994.1)).
The modem supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP (Internet Service Provider). The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.
This modem also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. Not only does it provide the natural firewall functions (Network Address Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure the user’s network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. It can also be configured to block internal users from access to the Internet.
The modem provides two levels of security support. First, it 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. Secondly, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. For example, to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly, users can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services in a network.
Integrated DHCP services, client and server, allow multiple users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the modem. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from a DHCP server and reboot. Each time the local machine is powered up, the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.
For advanced users, the Virtual Service function allows the modem to provide limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP provided IP address can be set to the product and then specific services can be re-routed to specific computers on the local network. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the modem and then incoming requests for HTML that are received by the product can be re-routed to the dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address. In this example, the modem is on the Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.
Virtual Service can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the product can be set to allow separate FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

The BIPAC-711 CE has the following features:
ADSL Multi-Mode Standard: Supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2); G.hs (G994.1)).
Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection: Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with the ISP. The modem also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Network Address Translation (NAT): Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Besides, many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Ping and others.
Domain Name System (DNS) relay: Provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for user such as www.yahoo.com) and IP address. When the local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP address, then every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network. After the router gets the reply, it then forwards it back to the PC.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE): Provides embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are provided. Most ISP’s use this protocol.
Virtual Server: A user
can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can
detect incoming service requests and forward it 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. The outside user can browse
the inside web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host
setting is also provided to a local
computer exposed to the outside network (Internet).
Bridge Filtering: Filters the packet based on the MAC address. It will increase the performance in LAN and WAN, also provides a higher-level security control.
Static Routing: Supports an easy static routing table to support routing capabilities.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server: In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate multiple clients IP addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as the DNS IP address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
Web based GUI: Supports user-friendly web based GUI for configuration and management.
Firmware Upgradeable: This modem can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Being a natural Internet firewall, the
ADSL Modem/Router protects your network from being accessed by outside users.
When it needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. Web
server, FTP server, E-mail server or News server, this modem can act as a
virtual server. You can set up a local server with a specific port number that
stands for the service, e.g. Web (80), FTP (21), Telnet (23), SMTP (25), POP3
(110), DNS (53), ECHO (7), NNTP (119). When an incoming access request to the
router for the specified port is received, it will be forwarded to the
corresponding internal server.
For example, if you set the Public
Port number 21 (FTP) to be mapped to the IP Address 192.168.1.100, then all the
ftp requests from outside users will be forwarded to the local server with the
IP address of 192.168.1.100.
Public Port: Enter the public port number you want to configure.
Private Port: Enter the private port number you want to configure.
Port Type: Select TCP if you
want to scope for the connection-based application service on the remote server using the port number.
Or select UDP if you want to scope for the connectionless application
service on the remote server
using the port number.
Host IP Address: Enter the IP address of a certain
internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded.
|
|
If the DHCP server option
is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the
virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easy way is that the IP
address assigned to each virtual server should not fall into the range of IP
addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You configure the virtual
server IP address manually, but it is still in the same subnet with the
router. |
Enable Bridge Filtering: Check Yes to enable this function or check No to disable.
Source MAC: Enter the source MAC address.
Destination MAC: Enter the destination MAC address.
Type: Enter the Ethernet type.
¤ Block ¤ Forward: Check Block if you want to block requests from the source MAC address sending to the destination MAC address. Check Forward if you want requests from the source MAC address to be sent to the destination MAC address.
A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a
mapping table for a domain name and IP address. In the Internet, every host has
a unique and friendly name such as www.yahoo.com and IP address. The IP address is so
hard to remember that you may just enter the friendly name www.yahoo.com and then the DNS will convert it to
its equivalent IP address.
You can obtain the Domain Name System (DNS) IP
address automatically if the ISP provides it when you logon. Or your ISP may
provide you with an IP address of the DNS. If this is the case, you must enter
the DNS IP address.

As soon as you enter the test program, all tests will run automatically to diagnose the connection status of the modem.
Checking LAN Connection
Testing Ethernet LAN connection
This
test passes if the Ethernet LAN interface is working properly.
Checking ADSL Connection
Testing ADSL Synchronization
This test checks your ADSL modem to see if it can successfully negotiate and establish a ADSL connection with your service provider's central office equipments. The test returns PASS if a ADSL connection is established.
If this test returns FAIL,
please try the test again a few minutes after this test is completed.
Since your ADSL modem needs a couple of seconds to a few minutes to establish
the ADSL connection depending on your phone line quality. If this test returns
FAIL, make sure your phone line is connected to your ADSL modem securely, and
also check with your service provider to see if your service is activated.
If
this test returns FAIL, all other tests will be skipped.
Checking Circuit 0 for Network Connection
Test ATM OAM Segment Loop Back
This test sends ATM OAM F5 Segment loop back request cells to the central office equipments through your ADSL connection. This test will pass if the response cell is received. Since your service provider might not support this test, your ADSL modem could still work even if this test fails.
If this test fails
consistently and your ADSL modem seems to be not working, check to make sure
the VPI and VCI are configured correctly.
This test returns FAIL if the ADSL synchronization
test fails
Test ATM OAM End-to-End Loop Back
This test sends ATM OAM F5 End-to-End loop back request cells to the central office equipments through your ADSL connection. This test returns PASS if the response cell is received. Since your service provider might not support this test, your ADSL modem could still work even if this test fails.
If this test
returns FAIL consistently and your ADSL modem seems to be not working, check to
make sure the VPI and VCI are configured correctly.
This test returns SKIPPED if the ADSL
synchronization test fails.
Test Ethernet connect to ATM
This test returns PASS if the ATM AAL5 module is loaded correctly in your ADSL modem. If this test returns FAIL, an internal error has occurred.
This test returns SKIPPED if the ADSL
synchronization does not return PASS.
Test PPPoE connection
This test returns PASS if your login name and password have passed authentication with your service provider.
If this test returns FAIL,
run this test again a few minutes after this test is completed, especially if
your PPP connection has just been improperly disconnected. If this test
consistently fails, first make sure your login name and password are
correct. Remember that
login name and password are case sensitive.
This test returns SKIPPED
if “PPPPOE connect to
Ethernet” test does not
return PASS and your ADSL modem is configured as PPPOE encapsulation.
This test
also returns SKIPPED if “Ethernet connect to AAL5” test does not return
PASS and your ADSL modem is configured as PPPOA encapsulation.
Test PPP Layer connection
This test returns PASS if your ADSL modem has been assigned a valid IP address by your service provider through DHCP or your ADSL modem is assigned a valid IP address statically.
If this test returns FAIL, run this test again a few minutes after this test is completed. If this test returns FAIL consistently and the DHCP client is turned on in your ADSL modem, check with your service provider. If this test returns FAIL consistently and your ADSL modem is statically assigned an IP address, make sure the IP address is the correct one assigned by your service provider.
This test
returns SKIPPED if “Ethernet connect to AAL5” test does not return PASS.
Test IP connect to PPP
This test returns PASS if your ADSL modem has been assigned a valid IP address by your service provider through DHCP or your ADSL modem is assigned a valid IP address statically.
If this test returns FAIL, run this test again a few minutes after this test is completed. If this test returns FAIL consistently and the DHCP client is turned on in your ADSL modem, check with your service provider. If this test returns FAIL consistently and your ADSL modem is statically assigned an IP address, make sure the IP address is the correct one assigned by your service provider.
This test
returns SKIPPED if “Ethernet connect to AAL5” test does not return PASS.
Test IP connect to Ethernet
This test returns PASS if the gateway can be reached through a ping request. The gateway is assigned by your service provider, or obtained from your service provider by PPP negotiation or DHCP negotiation.
If this test
returns FAIL, run this test again a few minutes after this test is completed.
If this test returns FAIL consistently and your DSL modem seems to be not
working, check to make sure your statically assigned IP address is configured
correctly or DHCP client is turned on with the current VC.
This
test returns SKIPPED if "IP connect to PPP" or "IP connect to
Ethernet" test does not return PASS.
