What is RFC 1490? 1-7connection. RFC 1483 is a conduit for multiple protocols such as IP andIPX, which are encapsulated and passed across the communicationsdatalink.The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports RFC 1483 and can establish aRFC 1483 connection to other devices supporting RFC 1483.Benefits of Using RFC1483RFC 1483 offers interoperability of multi-vendor equipment andidentification and aggregation of multiple protocol packets into one datastream.What is RFC 1490? It is a protocol standard that describes an encapsulation method forcarrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame Relay backbone. Itcovers aspects of both Bridging and Routing.The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports RFC 1490 and can establish aRFC 1490 connection to other devices supporting RFC 1490.What is PPP? The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a WAN protocol. It is a single ormulti-link interface between two packet switching devices, such as abridge or router. A PPP link may be created between the OfficeConnectRemote 840 and a remote router after they connect. PPP is an efficientconduit for multiple protocols such as IP and IPX, which are encapsulatedacross the communications datalink.PPP provides built-in negotiation for addresses and connectionparameters, and it can route multiple protocols over a single link.The OfficeConnect Remote 840 supports PPP and can establish a PPPconnection to other devices supporting PPP.Benefits of Using PPP PPP offers interoperability of multi-vendor equipment, and support fordynamic configuration between the connecting devices.What is DHCP? Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is designed to provide acentralized approach to configuring IP addresses and parameters.When a workstation is configured for automatic assignment of IPaddresses, it broadcasts a request on the LAN.
