If you are uncertain what services are available to you, then please select Automatic. TEL No.: The dial string to make a GPRS / 3G user internetworking call. It may provide by your mobile service provider. APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection, requirements for APNs varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet portal which they use to connect to a DHCP Server, thus giving you access to the internet i.e. some 3G operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value is “internet”. Username/Password: Enter the username and password provided by your service provider. The username and password are case sensitive. PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a password to gain access, and authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and you will require a PUK code from your network/service provider. Connection: Default set to Always on to keep an always-on 3G connection. Keep Alive: Select Yes to keep the 3G/4G LTE connection always on. Default Route: Select Yes to use this interface as default route interface.NAT: Select this option to Disabled/Enable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function.

62 When router’s Internet configuration is finished successfully, you can go to status to get the connection information.
63 4.4.1.2 LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. IPv6 The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is statefull configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts. The second way is stateless configuration. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.
64 IPv4 Parameters IP Address: Enter the IP address of Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default). IP Subnet Mask: The default is 255.255.255.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.128. Alias IP Address: This is for local networks virtual IP interface. Specify an IP address on this virtual interface. Alias IP Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface. IGMP Snooping: Select Activated to enable IGMP Snooping function, Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. Dynamic Route: Select the RIP version from RIP1 or RIP2. DHCPv4 Server DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. DHCPv4 Server: If set to Enabled, your BIPAC 9800VNX(L) can assign IP addresses, default gateway and DNS servers to the DHCP client.  If set to Disabled, the DHCP server will be disabled.  If set to Relay, the BIPAC 9800VNX(L) acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.  When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set. Start IP: This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. IP Pool Count: This field specifies the count of the IP address pool. Lease Time: The current lease time of client. DNS Relay Select Automatically obtained or Manually set (if selected. Please set the exactly information). If you set Static IP in the ISP Connection Type field, then select Manually here and set the specific DNS information. Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
65 Fixed Host In this field, users can map the specific IP (must in the DHCP IP pool) for some specific MAC, and this information can be listed in the following table. IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110. MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below: IPv6 parameters Interface Address / Prefix Length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address, we suggest leave the field empty because when setted wrong, it will result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device through internet. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field is empty. MLD Snooping: Similar to IGMP Snooping, but applicable for IPv6. DHCPv6 Server DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server. DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available.  Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.  Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server. Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4. End interface ID: enter the end interface ID. Leased Time (hour): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned. Issue Router Advertisement: Check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically. Router will multicast the v6 Prefix information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We suggest enabling this field.
66 4.4.1.3 Wireless This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as complex as a number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN. Access Point Settings Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you want to close the wireless interface, select Deactivated. AP MAC Address: The MAC address of wireless AP. Wireless Mode: The default setting is 802.11b+g+n (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have both 11g and 11b devices in your network, then keep the default in mixed mode. From the drop-down manual, you can select 802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b and if you only have 802.11n then select 802.11n.
67 Channel: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices is called a channel. There are Regulation Domains and Channel ID in this field. The Channel ID will be different based on Regulation Domains. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. RTS/CTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 1500 and 2347. Fragmentation Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 2346, even number only. DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). TX Power: The transmission power of the antennas, ranging from 1-100, the higher the more powerful of the transmission performance. IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function for wireless. Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.” 11n Settings Channel Bandwidth: Select either 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz for the channel bandwidth. The wider the Channel bandwidth the better the performance will be. Guard Interval: Select either 400nsec or 800nsec for the guard interval. The guard interval is here to ensure that data transmission do not interfere with each other. It also prevents propagation delays, echoing and reflections. The shorter the Guard Interval, the better the performance will be. We recommend users to select Auto. MCS: There are options 0~15 and AUTO to select for the Modulation and Coding Scheme. We recommend users selecting AUTO. SSID Settings Available SSID: User can determine how many virtual SSIDs to be used. Default is 1, maximum is 4. SSID Index: Select how many SSIDs you want to lay out. A total of 4 is in list. By default 4 SSIDs are in use. SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another. For security propose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network. Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the SSID through passive scanning. Select No to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning. SSID Activated: Select the time period during which the SSID is active. Default is always which means the SSID will be active all the time without time control. See 4.4.3.11 Time Schedule to set the timeslot to flexibly control when the SSID functions. WPS Settings WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature greatly simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi networks for a residential or an office setting. WPS supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method. WPS State: Display whether the WPS is configured or unconfigured. WPS Mode: Select the mode which to start WPS, choose between PIN Code and PBC (Push Button). Selecting Pin Code mode will require you to know the enrollee PIN code. To future understand the two modes of configuration; please refer to the following Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
68 Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN Method: Configure AP as Registrar 1. Jot down the client’s Pin (eg. 04640776). 2. Enter the Enrollee(Client) PIN code and then press Start WPS.
69 3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee, press the WPS button on the top bar, select the AP (eg. Billion_AP) from the WPS AP List column. Then press the PIN button located on the middle left of the page to run the scan.
70 4. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar (router).
71 PIN Method: Configure AP as Enrollee 1. Jot down the WPS PIN (eg. 03454435).Press Start WPS.
72 2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Registrar. Enter the PIN number in the PIN Code column then choose the correct AP (eg. Billion_AP) from the WPS AP List before pressing the PIN button to run the scan.
73 3. The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar (client). 4. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page.
74 PBC Method: 1. Press the PBC radio button, Then Start WPS. 2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the WPS button and choose the correct AP (eg. Billion_AP) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the scan.
75 3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the router.
76 Security Settings Security Type: You can disable or enable wireless security for protecting wireless network. The default type of wireless security is OPEN and to allow all wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption. To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP and WPA. There are five alternatives to select from: WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK. If you require high security for transmissions, please select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK.  WEP WEP Authentication Method: WEP authentication method, there are two methods of authentication used, Open System authentication (OPENWEB) and Share Key authentication (SHAREDWEB). We suggest you select OPENWEB. Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for 64-bitWEP and 128-bitWEP respectively. If you chose WEP 64-bit, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). If you chose WEP 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1. Note: When you enable WPS function, this WEP function will be invalid. And if you select one of WEP-64Bits/ WEP-128Bits, the following prompt box will appear to notice you.
77  WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK WPA Algorithms: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption System) utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. Pre-Shared key: The key for network authentication. The input format should be 8-63 ASKII characters or 64 hexadecimal characters Key Renewal Interval: The time interval for changing the security key automatically between wireless client and AP. WDS Settings WDS (Wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other access point. It is easy to be installed, just define the peer’s MAC of the connected AP. WDS Mode: select Activated to enable WDS feature and Deactivated to disable this feature. MAC Address: Enter the AP MAC addresses (in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format) of the peer connected AP.
78 4.4.1.4 Wireless MAC Filter The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 8 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 8 devices from accessing the router (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure this screen. SSID Index: Select the targeted SSID you want the MAC filter rules to apply to. Active: Select Activated to enable MAC address filtering. Action: Define the filter action for the list of MAC addresses in the MAC address filter table. Select Deny to block access to the AP, MAC addresses not listed will be allowed to access the router. Select Allow to permit access to the router, MAC addresses not listed will be denied access to the router. MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses (in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format) of the wireless station that are allowed or denied access to the specified in these address fields.
