Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the BIPAC 5100S 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 5100S 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 5100S supports up to 8 PVC’s.
ADSL Standards
♦ Full-Rate (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1) with line rate support of up to 8
Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.

DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients (computers) to obtain
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The BIPAC 5100S has
built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. The BIPAC 5100S can now also act as a surrogate
DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP
server to the clients.
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The BIPAC 5100S supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical
