3.2.9 IP Address Translation Configuration
For security and economic purposes, BIPAC-645 supports Single User Account feature (SUA). Multiple
users in the LAN can share a public IP address from ISP and Internet users will view the whole LAN as a big
“device”. However, severs in the LAN are allowed to provide services to the Internet users if you properly
configure the server’s private IP address “translated” to the corresponding service port number. For example,
you can set the FTP server’s private IP address mapped to port 21. Follow the steps; it will automatically
complete the mapping procedure.
Remember to set a fixed private IP address for each server providing services to the
Internet users, i.e., these servers can’t be DHCP clients.
