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.

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
