3. The Network Address Translation Settings page will appear.

If you want to enable the NAT function, check the box

Enable NAT. If NAT is enabled, it will display a NAT

submenu on the left panel after the unit reboots.

NAT occurs when multiple IP addresses on a private LAN are

converted to one public address. This public address is sent out

to the Internet. NAT increases security because the IP address

for a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted to the

Internet. NAT also allows xDSL/cable routers to be used with

low-cost Internet accounts, where only one TCP/IP address is

provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses

masked by the single address provided by the ISP.

Enable Firewall. If the Firewall is enabled, it will display a

request data, the data will not be allowed by the firewall to pass.
