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
