Reference Manual for the Integrated ADSL Modem and Wireless Router with Voice, Model

Visual monitoring

The modem router’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity.

Protocol Support

The DG834GV supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B provides further information on TCP/IP.

The Ability to Enable or Disable IP Address Sharing by NAT

The DG834GV allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account. This feature can also be turned off completely while using the DG834GV if you want to manage the IP address scheme yourself.

Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP

The DG834GV dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, modem router, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network.

DNS Proxy

When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the modem router provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The modem router obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.

Classical IP (RFC 1577)

Some Internet service providers, in Europe for example, use Classical IP in their ADSL services. In such cases, the modem router is able to use the Classical IP address from the ISP.

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

PPPover Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your computer.

PPP over ATM (PPPoA)

PPPover ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating an ATM connection.
