Introduction
1.1 An overview of BIPAC-645
BIPAC-645 provides fast Ethernet port for connecting to ADSL modem or Cable modem. It allows all
users in a local network to be quickly and easily connected to high-speed Internet (via DSL or Cable service)
using PPPoE. The ISDN Router is built-in and acts as a backup when the DSL/Cable service fails or if the
service is not available. In addition, BIPAC-645 supports remote ISDN dial-in and remote access.
BIPAC-645 is a small desktop router that sits between your local Ethernet network and a remote network
(For example, the Internet or a remote office). It contains an ISDN S/T interface, a 10 Mbps WAN port, four
10/100 Base-T LAN ports, and an auxiliary port for a directly connected management console.
With BIPAC-645, users don’t need to worry about a shortage of IP address resources. Dozens of network
users can surf on the Internet simultaneously by using one ISP account and a single IP address.
Sitting between your computer and remote network, the device acts as a firewall and protects your
computer from unwanted intruders.
BIPAC-645 supports Bandwidth-on-Demand and Dial-on-Demand. Depending on the data flow through an
open B channel, the device will establish another B channel connection to allow greater data throughput. This
extra line will then be dropped again, once the demand decreases, saving money on phone calls.
