1.1 Properties
The NAT router combines routing and switching functions in a single device. The FL NAT
SMN 8TX(-M) can be used to provide individual machines with the same IP addresses and
to then translate these IP addresses to the IP address areas of the higher-level company
network that are required for the application. This function is usually referred to as 1-to-1
NAT (1:1 NAT - Network Address Translation). Port 1 is the port via which the 1:1 NAT
implementation takes place in the higher-level network. Ports 2 to 8 are standard switch
ports for the lower-level network.
In addition to IP address translation, the FL NAT SMN 8TX(-M) provides several switch
ports (port 2 to port 8) in the lower-level machine network. In addition to the switch and
routing function, further (IT) functions are available, such as redundancy, port mirroring or
LLDP.
The FL NAT SMN 8TX(-M) can be configured via a web server and via SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol). A serial terminal interface is also available for initial
startup.

A device design that does not use a fan, the redundant power supply, and conformance with
all relevant industrial standards in terms of EMC, climate, mechanical load, etc. ensure the
highest possible level of availability.
Quick media redundancy Redundancy can be created with standards: the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol ensures the
safe operation of the entire network regardless of topology, even in the event of a cable
interrupt.
