NAT, the BIPAC 5100S provides super-fast Internet access to multiple users at minimum cost. The BIPAC 5100S is a bridge/router and includes two models, one for ADSL over POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) and one for ADSL over ISDN (Integrated Synchronous Digital System).
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.
The BIPAC 5100S supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing. Encapsulation The BIPAC 5100S series supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM, MAC encapsulated routing (ENET Encapsulation) as well as PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516).
1.3 Applications for the BIPAC 5100S The BIPAC 5100S is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. The BIPAC 5100S supports the TCP/IP protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers.
1024 by 768 pixels 2.2 Accessing the BIPAC 5100S Web Configurator Step 1. Make sure your BIPAC 5100S hardware is properly connected (refer to the Compact Guide or Read Me First).
The following summarizes how to navigate the web configurator from the Site Map screen. Screens vary slightly for different BIPAC 5100S models. Click Wizard Setup to begin a series of screens to configure the BIPAC 5100S for the first time.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. 2.5 Resetting the BIPAC 5100S If you forget your password or cannot access the BIPAC 5100S, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button the back of the BIPAC 5100S.
Read Me First. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields in the wizard screens for you. 3.2 Encapsulation Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The BIPAC 5100S supports the following methods. 3.2.1 ENET ENCAP The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP network protocol.
BIPAC 5100S encapsulates the PPP session based on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet Service Provider's (ISP) DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
The following table describes the labels in this screen. LABEL Mode From the Mode drop-down list box, select Routing (default) if your ISP allows multiple computers to share an Internet account. Otherwise select Bridge. Encapsulation Select the encapsulation type your ISP uses from the Encapsulation drop-down list box.
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.254, for your BIPAC 5100S, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
The BIPAC 5100S does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the BIPAC 5100S will try to bring up the connection when turned on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons.

TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the BIPAC 5100S as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the BIPAC 5100S provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

If you want to change your BIPAC 5100S LAN settings, click Change LAN Configuration to display the screen as shown next. The following table describes the labels in this screen. LABEL LAN IP Address Enter the IP address of your BIPAC 5100S in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default).
The BIPAC 5100S automatically tests the connection to the computer(s) connected to the LAN ports. To test the connection from the BIPAC 5100S to the ISP, click Start Diagnose. Otherwise click Return to Main Menu to go back to the Site Map screen.
The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses. 4.1.1 LANs, WANs and the BIPAC 5100S The actual physical connection determines whether the BIPAC 5100S ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside, the LAN network; the other outside: the WAN network as shown next: 4.2 DNS Server Address...
If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields in DHCP Setup are not specified, for instance, left as 0.0.0.0, the BIPAC 5100S tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the BIPAC 5100S, the BIPAC 5100S forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.
1. Both - the BIPAC 5100S will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives. 2. In Only - the BIPAC 5100S will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.
DHCP client. If set to None, the DHCP server will be disabled. If set to Relay, the BIPAC 5100S acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.

Many-to-One and Many-to-Many Overload NAT mapping) in each packet and then forwards it to the Internet. The BIPAC 5100S keeps track of the original addresses and port numbers so incoming reply packets can have their original values restored. The following figure illustrates this.
6.1.5 NAT Mapping Types NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping. They are: 1. One to One: In One-to-One mode, the BIPAC 5100S maps one local IP address to one global IP address. 2. Many to One: In Many-to-One mode, the BIPAC 5100S maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address.
SUA (Single User Account) is a implementation of a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping, Many-to-One and Server. The BIPAC 5100S also supports Full Feature NAT to map multiple global IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of clients or servers using mapping types as outlined in 6.3 SUA Server...
network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers.
