• Announced in RIP: This parameter determines if the ADSL modem router will include the
route to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, the route to this remote node

• NAT Status: This field shows the current status of the NAT function for the current VC.
You can go to the previous screen to activate the function.
Note:
For VCs with single IP, they share the same DMZ and Virtual servers; for VCs with multiple IPs,
each VC can set DMZ and Virtual servers. Furthermore, for VCs with multiple IPs, they can
define the Address Mapping rules; for VCs with single IP, since they have only one IP, there is
no need to individually define the Address Mapping rule.
4.3.3.1 DMZ
Go to Advanced Setup → NAT → DMZ, you can configure the DMZ host in the following screen.
A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a host between a private local network and the outside public
