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).

Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security

(IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4

(into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a

fundamental interoperability requirement.

Jumbo frames supported

Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes (standard Ethernet frame) of payload.

Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9720 bytes of payload to enjoy a high-efficiency

communication in Gigabit Ethernet. Jumbo frames increase the frame size so that a certain large

amount of date can be transported with less effort, reducing CPU utilization and increasing

throughput by reducing the number of frames needing to be processed and reducing the total

overhead byte count of all frames sent.

3G/LTE

With 3G/LTE-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G/LTE USB modem), user can

access internet through 3G/LTE, whether you are seated at your desk or taking a cross-country trip.

Virtual AP

A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a

single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be

an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example,

multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and

capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different

capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously.

Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate

authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without

sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.

Web Based GUI

It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with

online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and

manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.
