2.5 Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is because of bad cabling or ADSL line(s).

Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of

LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are

using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g.

telephones, fax machines, analog 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 to ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and

the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed being the wrong way around

can cause problems with your ADSL connection, which includes frequent disconnections.

Installation

You can configure the BiPAC 7300W router through the convenient and user-friendly

interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux and Windows

7/Vista/98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface which connects to the router directly

or through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must 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 between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253). The easiest way

is to configure the PC is to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If

you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you are advised to

uninstall

any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems when trying

to access the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all,

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.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or

through the BiPAC 7300W. To configure other types of workstations,

please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
