Reference Manual for the Model DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway • DNS Proxy When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the gateway provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The gateway 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 gateway is able to use the Classical IP address from the ISP. • PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) PPP over 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 PC. • PPP over ATM (PPPoA) PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating a ATM connection. • Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when your IP address is not permanently assigned. The gateway contains a client that can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address. • Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking technology. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses with a seamless way to participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer services. Easy Installation and Management You can install, configure, and operate the DG824M within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks: • Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your gateway from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface. • Smart Wizard The gateway automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account. 2-4 Introduction
