ENET ENCAP Gateway fields are not applicable (N/A) as the DHCP server assigns them to 

the BIPAC-5100/5100W. 

Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from 

the Internet, for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP 

addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 

(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private 

networks: 

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 

You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a 

private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an 

ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other 

hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network 

administrator for the appropriate IP addresses. 

A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic 

demand. The BIPAC-5100/5100W does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. 

The first is that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the BIPAC-5100/5100W 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. 

Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service 

or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern 

NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a 

host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one 

network to a different IP address known within another network. 

The second wizard screen varies depending on what mode and encapsulation type you use.
