4.1.2 Address Translation
This section explains two types of the IP address translation available as a part of the many
feature of the ThinConnect4.
IP Masquerade
Normally, when you sign up with a local ISP for the Internet, that account is usually valid
for only one user. This type of address translation allows you to share a single account with
multi-users. The maximum 256 sessions are available. For the popular web browser and
e-mail programs, each PC is considered to occupy 10 sessions. That is, about 20 PCs can
run Internet applications at the same time through one single connection. Some application
softwares may not be compatible under IP Masquerade. In this case select NAT (Network
Address Translation) instead.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows multiple PC connection together, but while one PC is connected to the
Internet, others cannot be connected at the same time.
