What is RFC 1490? 1-7

connection. RFC 1483 is a conduit for multiple protocols such as IP and IPX, which are encapsulated and passed across the communications datalink.

The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports RFC 1483 and can establish a

RFC 1483 connection to other devices supporting RFC 1483.

Benefits of Using RFC RFC 1483 offers interoperability of multi-vendor equipment and

1483 identification and aggregation of multiple protocol packets into one data stream.

What is RFC 1490? It is a protocol standard that describes an encapsulation method for carrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame Relay backbone. It covers aspects of both Bridging and Routing.

The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports RFC 1490 and can establish a

RFC 1490 connection to other devices supporting RFC 1490.

What is PPP? The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a WAN protocol. It is a single or multi-link interface between two packet switching devices, such as a bridge or router. A PPP link may be created between the OfficeConnect Remote 840 and a remote router after they connect. PPP is an efficient conduit for multiple protocols such as IP and IPX, which are encapsulated across the communications datalink.

PPPprovides built-in negotiation for addresses and connection parameters, and it can route multiple protocols over a single link.

The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports PPP and can establish a PPP connection to other devices supporting PPP.

Benefits of Using PPP PPP offers interoperability of multi-vendor equipment, and support for dynamic configuration between the connecting devices.

What is DHCP? Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is designed to provide a centralized approach to configuring IP addresses and parameters.

When a workstation is configured for automatic assignment of IP addresses, it broadcasts a request on the LAN. The DHCP Server responds
