Introducing the Web Configurator

802.11b is only supported for the BIPAC-5100W

This chapter describes how to access and navigate the web configurator.

2.1 Web Configurator Overview

The embedded web configurator allows you to manage the BIPAC-5100/5100W from

anywhere through a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use

Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript

enabled. It is recommended that you set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels

2.2 Accessing the BIPAC-5100/5100W Web Configurator

Step 1.

Make sure your BIPAC-5100/5100W hardware is properly connected (refer to the

Compact Guide or Read Me First).

Step 2.

Prepare your computer/computer network to connect to the BIPAC-5100/5100W (refer

to the Compact Guide or Read Me First).

Step 3.

Launch your web browser.

Step 4.

Type "192.168.1.254" as the URL.

Step 5.

An Enter Network Password window displays. Enter the user name (“admin” is the

default), password (“admin” is the default) and click OK.

Step 6.

You should now see the Site Map screen.

2.3 Navigating the BIPAC-5100/5100W Web Configurator

The following summarizes how to navigate the web configurator from the Site Map screen.

Screens vary slightly for different BIPAC-5100/5100W models.

¾

Click Wizard Setup to begin a series of screens to configure the BIPAC-5100/5100W for

the first time.

¾

Click a link under Advanced Setup to configure advanced BIPAC-5100/5100W features.

¾

Click a link under Maintenance to see BIPAC-5100/5100W performance statistics,

upload firmware and back up, restore or upload a configuration file.

¾

Click SITE MAP to go to the Site Map screen.

¾

Click Logout in the navigation panel when you have finished a BIPAC-5100/5100W

management session.

2.4 Configuring Password

It is highly recommended that you change the password for accessing the

BIPAC-5100/5100W.

To change the BIPAC-5100/5100W’s password, click Advanced Setup and then Password.

The screen appears as shown.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Old Password

Type the default password or the existing password you use to access the

system in this field.

New Password

Type the new password in this field.

Retype to Confirm

Type the new password again in this field.

Apply

Click

Apply

to save your changes back to the BIPAC-5100/5100W.

Cancel

Click

Cancel

to begin configuring this screen afresh.

2.5 Resetting the BIPAC-5100/5100W

If you forget your password or cannot access the BIPAC-5100/5100W, you will need to reload

the factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button the back of the

BIPAC-5100/5100W. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file

with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that

you had previously and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps

with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will be reset

to “admin”, also.

2.5.1 Using The Reset Button

Step 1.

Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking).

Step 2.

Press the RESET button for five seconds, and then release it. When the SYS LED

begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the BIPAC-5100/5100W restarts.

2.5.2 Uploading a Configuration File Via Console Port

Download the default configuration file from the Billion FTP site, unzip it and save it in a folder.

Step 1.

Turn off the BIPAC-5100/5100W, begin a terminal emulation software session and

turn on the BIPAC-5100/5100W again. When you see the message "Press Any key to

enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to enter debug mode.

Step 2.

Enter "atlc" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.

Step 3.

Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating Xmodem upload on

your terminal. This is an example Xmodem configuration upload using HyperTerminal.

Step 4.

Click Transfer, then Send File to display the following screen.

Step 5.

After successful firmware upload, enter "atgo" to restart the router.

Wizard Setup

802.11b is only supported for the BIPAC-5100W

This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.

3.1 Wizard Setup Introduction

Use the Wizard Setup screens to configure your system for Internet access settings and fill in

the fields with the information in the Internet Account Information table of the Compact Guide

or Read Me First. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields in the wizard

screens for you.

3.2 Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The BIPAC-5100/5100W

supports the following methods.

3.2.1 ENET ENCAP

The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP

network protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface

and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it

encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you

specify a gateway IP address in the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway field in the second

wizard screen. You can get this information from your ISP.

3.2.2 PPP over Ethernet

PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services

using PPP. The BIPAC-5100/5100W bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet,

RFC 2516) from your computer to an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to

ADSL Access Concentrator where the PPP session terminates. One PVC can support any

number of PPP sessions from your LAN. For more information on PPPoE, see the appendix.

3.2.3 PPPoA

PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). It provides
