NAT

Network Address Translation
NAT is a method for converting IP addresses (

Private IP addresses

) within a network into 

one or severa

Public IP addresses

 on the 

Internet

. With NAT, several network compo-

nents in a 

LAN

 can share the router's public IP address to connect to the Internet. The 

network components of the local network are hidden behind the router's IP address reg-
istered on the Internet. Because of this security function, NAT is frequently used as part 
of th

Firewall

 of a network. If you want to make services on a PC in the local network 

available on the Internet despite NAT, you can configure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl as 

Virtual server

.

Network

A network is a group of devices connected in wired or wireless mode so that they can 
share resources such as data and peripherals. A general distinction is made between 
local networks (

LANs

) and wide-area networks (

WANs

).

Network adapter

The network adapter is the hardware device that creates the connection between a net-
work component and a local network. The connection can be wired or wireless. An Eth-
ernet network card is an example of a wired network adapter. The Gigaset PC Card 108 
and the Gigaset USB Adapter 108 are examples of wireless network adapters.
A network adapter has a unique address, the 

MAC address

.

PBX 

Private Branch Exchange
PBX is the English acronym for a public branch exchange, which allows connection and 
configuration of extensions and telephone functions. 

Port

Data is exchanged between two applications in a network across a port. The port 
number addresses an application within a network component. The combination of 

IP 

address

/port number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within 

a network. Some applications (e.g. Internet services such as HTTP or FTP) work with 
fixed port numbers; others are allocated a free port number whenever they need one.

Port forwarding

In port forwarding the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl directs data packets from the 

Internet

 

that are addressed to a particular 

Port

 to the corresponding port of the appropriate net-

work component. This enables servers within the local network to offer services on the 
Internet without them needing a 

Public IP address
