Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introducing the BiP AC 7300M Thank you for purchasing the BiP AC 7300M 802.1 1g MIMO ADSL2+ Modem/Router by Billion. Y our new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an .
making them invisible to outside users on the Inte rnet, so it is much more dif ficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Se cond, it can block and redirect cert ain ports to limit the services that out side users can access.
1.2 Features Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ cap able The BiP AC 7300M complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Su pporting downstream rates of 8Mbps with ADSL, the router is cap able of up to 12/24 Mbp s with ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbp s.
Domain Name System Relay Domain Name System (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a user-friendly name such as www. billion.com with an IP address.
This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of security control. St atic and RIP1/2 Routing An easy static routing table or RIP1/2 r outing protocol supports routing capability.

4.3.6 V irtual Server In TCP/IP and UDP networks a port is a 16-bi t number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connecti ons should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (t he Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referre d to as “well-known ports”.
Well-known and Registered Ports Port Number Protocol Description 20 TCP FTP Data 21 TCP FTP Control 22 TCP & UDP SSH Remote Login Protocol 23 TCP T elnet 25 TCP SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
