FIREWALL AND NAT SETTINGS
The Firewall/NAT Network Settings contain your system's identification configuration on the
local network.
NAT helps protect a LAN from exposure to unwanted traffic by providing one single external
address to remote users. NAT uses a system of local and external addresses to hide a
LAN's users from other networks. A NAT server translates local parties' addresses to an
external address, which is then used to identify the local party to remote parties. Therefore,
remote parties use this external address to call the local party, without knowing its actual
local address.
To access Firewall/NAT Settings:
1.
Select
Settings>Network>IP>Firewall/NAT
. The Firewall/NAT window appears.
2.
In the Firewall/NAT window, set the following options and parameters:
