accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table. IN only means 
the ADLS router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the 
ADLS router will only send but will not accept RIP packet. 
¾  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) and IGMP v2. Select “Disabled” to 
disable it. 
2.  Static IP Address

Note: 
Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets 
separated by a dot (x.x.x.x), such as 192.168.1.100. The Router will not accept the IP address if it 
is not in this format. 
3. PPPoA/PPPoE 
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE connection. This option is typically 
used for DSL services. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address automatically for your 
PPPoE connection. Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE connection. 
Please enter the information accordingly.
