Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
The BiPAC 7800VDP(O)X is a dual-band wireless network device, it utilizes two wireless bands for
wireless communications, and offers maximum performance in setting up a network. Users can
choose the most economical rate of VoIP calls provided by different Internet Technology Service
Provider (ITSP). The device integrates two FXS ports which allows for simultaneous VoIP calls. The
extra FXO port enables you to make & receive calls via PSTN Fixed-line while sharing a high-speed
internet connection. Its built-in 4-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, supporting high-speed data transfer
including a Gigabit WAN port for Broadband connectivity. The Quality of Service (QoS) feature
ensures a smooth net connection for inbound and outbound data transmission with minimal traffic
congestion. With the BiPAC 7800VDP(O)X, you can create your own mobile hotspot for Wi-Fi
access.
Dual-band
A Dual-band Router utilizes two different wireless bands that support connections on both 2.4GHz
and 5GHz simultaneously. The BiPAC 7800VDP(O)X is a dual-band router which transmits on two
frequency bands-2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously. The two wireless bands are fully independent.
One band can be used for downloading while the other is used for uploading; or one is used for
online gaming, video streaming and music downloading while the other takes care of accessing
email, file sharing and regular internet surfing. With an integrated 802.11 wireless access point, the
router can deliver up to 6 times the speed of an 802.11b/g wireless device. It supports a date rate of
up to 300 Mbps with each band and is also compatible with 802.11b/g devices in 2.4GHz and
802.11a in 5GHz.
Cost saving
Making VoIP calls is extremely simple; just connect the router to your existing telephones. The
BiPAC 7800VDP(O)X complies with the most popularly adopted VoIP standard, SIP protocol, to
ensure interoperability with SIP devices and major VoIP Gateways. One RJ-11 FXO port is
integrated to transmit inbound and outbound calls through PSTN Fixed-line, so that users may still
be able to receive phone calls through PSTN, while enjoying VoIP service at the same time. In
addition, outgoing calls will be automatically redirected to PSTN when the Internet or VoIP service
is not available. The router also supports a wider range of telephony features, such as call waiting,
silence suppression, line echo cancellation, caller ID, etc.
IPv6 supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed
IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit
address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2
128
(about
3.4×10
38
) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic
and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread
deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address
autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing
Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the
host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the
host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).
