1.1 Introducing the BiPAC 7202 Series
Thank you for purchasing the BiPAC 7202 Series ADSL2+ Router by Billion. Your new router
is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network
switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the
Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.
The BiPAC 7202 Series router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide
and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps.
Designed for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster
Internet connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications
such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster
than ever before.
The BiPAC 7202 Series supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over
ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over
Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your
new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection, the BiPAC 7202 Series allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet
access simultaneously.
