Multicast
Multicast Forwarding
This parameter controls the forwarding of multicast packets from the LAN interface to the RF interface (and vice-
versa). The packets forwarded from the LAN to the RF interface are identified by the Multicast Address List. (All
other multicast packets are dropped.) On the other hand, the Multicast White List controls which multicast packets
are passed from the RF interface to the LAN interface. When the Multicast White List is empty, all multicast
packets received from the RF interface are passed on the LAN interface, otherwise only the multicast packets
identified in the white list are passed over the LAN. The default setting for Multicast Forwarding is enabled.
Multicast to Broadcast (LAN to RF)
When a multicast packet is forwarded from the LAN interface to the RF interface, the destination IP address can be
changed to the broadcast IP address (255.255.255.255). The default setting for Multicast to Broadcast for LAN to
RF is disabled.
Multicast to Broadcast (RF to LAN)
When a multicast packet is forwarded from the RF interface to the LAN interface, the destination IP address can be
changed to the broadcast IP address (255.255.255.255). The default setting for Multicast to Broadcast for RF to
LAN is disabled.
Multicast Address List
All packets received from the LAN interface with a multicast destination IP address matching one of the multicast
addresses identified in this list will be forwarded from the LAN interface to the RF interface.
Multicast White List
All packets received from the RF interface with a multicast destination IP address matching one of the multicast
addresses identified in this list will be forwarded from the RF interface to the LAN interface. If this list is empty, any
packet received from the RF interface with a multicast destination IP address will be passed over the LAN. If this list is
not empty, any packet received from the RF interface with a multicast destination IP address that does not match an
entry in this list will be dropped.

VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is the fifth (second from left) tab of the LAN Settings page. To navigate to this tab,
select LAN Settings from the main menu and click VLAN. This tab contains configuration settings for VLAN set up
through the LAN. Settings are similar to those in the VLAN tab shown earlier for the RF Network Settings, except
settings in this page are for VLAN on the LAN interface. (Settings in the previous VLAN tab were for VLAN on the RF
interface).
VLAN Configuration (bridge mode)
The parameters in this page are only active when VLAN is enabled (see Home->Basic Settings->VLAN Mode)
