Introduction

1.1 Introducing the myGuard 7202(G)

Thank you for purchasing the myGuard 7202(G) ADSL 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 myGuard 7202(G) 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 myGuard 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 myGuard 7202(G) 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 myGuard 7202(G) allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access

simultaneously.

Your new myGuard router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from

access by outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network

Address Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All

incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to

block internal users from accessing the Internet.

The myGuard 7202(G) provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP
