Encapsulation: Select the encapsulation mode for the Dynamic IP Address, you can leave it
default.
NAT: Select this option to Enable/Disable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function for
this VC. The NAT function can be activated or deactivated per PVC basis.
Default Route: If enable this function, the current PVC will be considered as the default
gateway to internet from this device.
TCP MTU Option: Enter the TCP MTU as your desire.
Dynamic Route: Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol) version
for WAN interface, including RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are both sent in
RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B using Broadcast
format.
Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP
function. Both means the ADSL Router will periodically send routing information and
accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table. IN only means
the ADSL Router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the
ADSL Router will only send but will not accept RIP packet.
Multicast: Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast
Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The
ADSL ATU-R supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP v1), IGMP v2 and IGMP v3. Select
“Disabled” to disable it.
4.3.1.2 Static IP Address
Select this option if your ISP provides static IP information to you. You should set static IP address,
IP subnet mask, and gateway address in the screen below (shown in Figure 4-8).

Access point Settings: These are the settings of the access point. You can configure the
rules to allow wireless-equipped computers and other devices to communicate with a wireless
network.
Access point: Select Activated to allow wireless station to associate with the access
point.
Channel: Select your region and the channel you want to use from the drop-down List of
Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not
necessary to change the default channel unless you notice interference problems with
another nearby access point.
Transmit Power: Here you can specify the transmit power of Router. You can select
High, Medium or Low which you would like. High is the default setting and is
recommended.
Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval
value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
RTS/CTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction
of the default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset
RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends
Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most cases,
keep its default value of 2347.
Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the size for a packet. When packet size
exceeds the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into multiple packets.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. In
most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
DTIM: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 1.
Wireless Mode: In the drop-down list you can select “802.11b”, “802.11g”, “802.11n”,
“802.11b+g”, “802.11g+n” and “802.11b+g+n”. “802.11b+g+n” allows 802.11b, 802.11g
and 802.11n wireless stations to connect to the Router.

Channel Bandwidth: Select the Bandwidth you want to use from the drop-down List.
There are two options, “20 MHz” and “20/40 MHz”. If bigger bandwidth is selected, device
could transmit and receive data with higher speed.
Extension Channel: If “20/40 MHz” is selected, this option will be displayed.

value of 1.
Broadcast SSID: When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to
associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the
Router’s SSID, keep the default setting. If you don’t want to broadcast the Router’s SSID,
select “No”.
Use WPS: Use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function, you can add a new wireless
device to an existing network quickly. To Use WPS, keep the default setting, and
configure the parameters in WPS Settings. If you don’t want to Use WPS, select “No”,

4.4.4 QoS
Choose “Advanced Setup→QoS”, you can configure the QoS in the next screen. QoS helps to
prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching special identification marks or headers to
incoming packets, QoS determines which queue the packets enter, based priority. This is useful
when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority, such as voice data packets
give higher priority than Web data packets. This option will provide better service of selected
network traffic over various technologies.

4.4.5 VLAN
Choose “Advanced Setup→VLAN”, you can activate the VLAN function in the next screen.
Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they
can communicate as if they were attached to the same LAN, when in fact they are located on a
number of different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical
connections, it is very flexible for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource
optimization. There are two types of VLAN as follows:
Port-Based VLAN: Each physical switch port is configured with an access list specifying
membership in a set of VLANs.
ATM VLAN: Using LAN Emulation (LANE) protocol to map Ethernet packets into ATM cells and
deliver them to their destination by converting an Ethernet MAC address into an ATM address.
