The 11 Mbps wireless LAN provides mobility and a fast network environment for small and
home offices. Computers with wireless LAN Ethernet adapters can connect to the local area
network without any wiring efforts and enjoy reliable high-speed connectivity.
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your
ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as
ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the BIPAC-5100/5100W is transparent to the computers on the
LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to
manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used
within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP
address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the BIPAC-5100/5100W and other UPnP enabled devices
can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other
devices on the network.
10/100M Auto-negotiation Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Interface
This auto-negotiation feature allows the BIPAC-5100/5100W to detect the speed of incoming
transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on the
Ethernet network.
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address,
allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must
register for this service with a Dynamic DNS client.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
The BIPAC-5100/5100W supports up to 8 PVC’s.
