Introduction

•
Automatic Configuration of Attached computers by DHCP
: The TA612V adapter
dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and domain
name server (DNS) addresses, to attached computers on the LAN using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of computers on
your local network.
•
DNS Proxy
: When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides
its own address as a DNS server to the attached computers. The router obtains actual DNS
addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
•
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
: PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet
over a DSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to
run a login program such as Entersys or WinPOET on your computer.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the TA612V Broadband Voice Adapter 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 router 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 TA612V adapter Smart Wizard automatically senses the type of Internet
connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.
•
Visual monitoring
: The TA612V adapter’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor
its status and activity.
