port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Pro-
tocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type
services.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the TW100-
BRF114 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and
Fixed IP Address.
