Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Wireless Router DG834G • Visual monitoring The modem router's front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity. • Flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) for firmware upgrades. Protocol Support The DG834G v3 supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). "Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing" in Appendix C provides further information on TCP/IP. • The Ability to Enable or Disable IP Address Sharing by NAT The DG834G v3 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 DG834G v3 if you want to manage the IP address scheme yourself. • Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP The DG834G v3 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) 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 computer. • PPP over ATM (PPPoA) PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating an ATM connection. 2-4 Introduction v1.0, January 2006
