4. List of Functions
This product equips the Network Address Translation (NAT) with a DHCP server function. When
it is on, the AP-100AH acts as a router and enables a NAT. When disabled, the AP-100AH does
not do any routing or address translations. In the latter case, if the clients are using a DHCP
then there should be a DHCP server running on the wired network of the AP-100AH.
The function configures the following items:
•
Start IP address
•
End IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Default gateway
•
Lease time period
The NAT is useful when a large number of devices are deployed in your network. The AP-100AH
establishes a private IP network with its DHCP server to save IPv4 address resources in your
network. The NAT allows a device inside the private network to access your network.
