3.3 Network Address Translator (NAT)
Compex NetPassage 16A has been designed with a Network Address Translator (NAT)
that supports Port Address Translation (PAT), sharing a single public IP address with
multiple computers in the private network by using different TCP ports for different
computers. By default, the NAT is enabled.
CAUTION
Disabling the NAT will cause your computers not being able to share the
broadband Internet service. DO NOT disable the NAT unless you are
certain on what you are doing.
Due to the translation, the computers behind the NAT are not reachable from the
Internet. However, with the support of Virtual Server, you may host the Internet servers
behind the NAT based on Port Forwarding or IP Forwarding.
