Network Address Trnaslation (NAT)

Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP address

to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a

valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service

providers only provide very few IP addresses to every user. Therefore it’s

necessary to use NAT technology to share a single Internet IP address to

multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to

Internet.

Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters:

3-2-1 Basic NAT Settings (Enable or disable NAT function)

Please click ‘NAT’ menu on the left of web management interface, and the

following message will be displayed on your web browser:

To enable NAT function, please select ‘Enable’ for ‘Enable or disable NAT

module function’ ; to disable, please select ‘Disable’.

After you made the selection, please click ‘Apply’ button , and the following

message will be displayed on your web browser:

Please click ‘Continue’ to back to previous setup menu; to continue on other

setup procedures, or click ‘Apply’ to reboot the router so the settings will

take effect (Please wait for about 50 seconds while router is rebooting).

3-2-2 Port Forwarding

This function allows you to redirect a single port or consecutive ports of

Internet IP address to the same port of the IP address on local network. The

port number(s) of Internet IP address and private IP address (the IP address

on local network) must be the same. If the port number of Internet IP address

and private IP address is different, please use ‘Virtual Server’ function,

described in next section.

Please click ‘NAT’ menu on the left of web management interface, then click

‘Port Forwarding’, and the following message will be displayed on your web

browser:
