 QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

Billion 7300(G) ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall Modem/Router Installation

1.1 Starting out:

Before you can establish an Internet connection through your Billion 7300(G)
ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall Modem/Router make sure you have the following:
1. A Computer or Notebook with an installed Network Adaptor (sometimes called
an Ethernet Adaptor, Network Card or NIC)

2. An ADSL or DSL service account and configuration information provided by

your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You should need only a User Name and
Password, but you can check with your ISP to see if you require any of the
other following configuration parameters to connect your Billion 7300(G)
ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall Modem/Router to the Internet :

a. ISP User Name and Password

b. VPI/VCI parameters
c. Multiplexing Method
d. Host and Domain Names
e. ISP Domain Name Server ( DNS ) Address
f. Fixed or Static IP Address.

1.2 Steps for Connection:

The following are the steps to properly connect your Billion 7300(G) ADSL2/2+ QoS
Firewall Modem/Router:

1. Turn off your computer.

2. If you do not have an ADSL faceplate installed by your service provider, you
must ensure ADSL splitters (also called microfilters or filters) are fitted to all
telephone sockets in use.
3. Connect the supplied ADSL (RJ-11) cable from the splitter/filter of your chosen
telephone socket (or ADSL faceplate if you have one) to the ADSL Port of your
Billion 7300(G) ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall Modem/Router (or LINE Port if you
have no ADSL Port)
4. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable (RJ-45) from one of the Ethernet ports of your
Billion 7300(G) ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall Modem/Router to the Network Adaptor
in your computer.
5. Connect the Power adaptor to the Billion 7300(G) ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall
Modem/Router and plug the other end into a Power outlet. Power up the unit.
6. Turn on your computer. Please allow up to 45 seconds for your Network Adaptor
to locate the Router. Please wait for the ADSL light on the front of the router to
turn from flashing to solid – this may take up to 1 minute (see 3.1 Troubleshooting
the connection).

7. You are now ready to configure the Billion 7300(G) ADSL2/2+ QoS Firewall
Modem/Router. All you need to do is to follow the instructions that follow and
enter your User Name and Password as supplied by your Service Provider. No
other changes should be necessary.

2.1 Configuration:

1. Open Internet Explorer or your default web browser. The Billion logo should
appear in your browser followed by a login screen. Enter your User Name and
Password as supplied by your Service Provider and click Login. You should
now receive a Login Successful screen. This completes the configuration.

2. If Login is unsuccessful or the Login screen does not appear, please configure
your device manually by typing http://192.168.1.254 in the address bar
(where you would normally enter the web site address) as per the illustration
below.

3. You will be presented with a user name and password prompt.* Simply enter
user name as admin, password as admin and click OK. This will take you to
the modem’s Status Page.

* If the user name and password prompt box does not appear make sure that any
firewall or anti-virus such as Zone Alarm or Norton is disabled. Also ensure that your
Internet settings are correct. (In Internet Explorer go to Tools/Internet
Options/Connections and make sure “Never dial a Connection” is checked. Then
Click on the LAN settings and ensure “Automatically detect settings” is checked and
all other fields are blank. Then go to Tools/Internet Options/Security and return your
Security settings to “default”. )

4. From the Menu on the left select Quick Start.

Provider and click Apply.

5
6. Now click the blue Save Config button.

7. Confirm by clicking Apply.

 8. The Status Page should now show a WAN IP address and your connection
status under WAN.

9. You should now be connected. This completes the initial configuration of the
modem. For advanced configuration access the manual on the CD provided.

3.1 Troubleshooting the connection:

1. Check that the ADSL light on the front of the router has turned solid. This can
take up to 1 minute after switching on. (If the ADSL light continues to flash
then the router is not detecting an ADSL signal and you should contact your
Service Provider immediately)
2. Ensure your username and password are correct – your username should read
yourname@yourisp.co.uk (or something similar).
3. Ensure you have a filter attached to the master socket, and check that there are
no phones connected to any extensions that do not have a filter.

If you still can’t get a connection after checking the above – disconnect all phones,
sky boxes, fax machines etc., double–check that all cables are correctly connected and
filters properly attached, restart the router, and try again. If this still fails then we
suggest you contact your Service Provider for further advice.

proprietary settings. In this case please contact your Service Provider to confirm their
configuration parameters.
