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.
Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 10/100 switch, the DM111P can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet
network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and capable
of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The modem incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each local Ethernet port will automatically
sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as
to a computer or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure
itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover
cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
