 2.6 NAT  Network Address Translation (NAT) allows  multiple users at your local site 
to access the Internet through a single Public IP Address or multiple Public 
IP Addresses. NAT provides Firewall  protection from hacker attacks and 
has the flexibility to allow you to map Private IP Addresses to Public IP 
Addresses for key services  such as Websites and FTP. 
 
  Parameter   Description 2.6.1 Port Forwarding  You can have different services (e.g. email, FTP, 
Web etc.) going to different service 
servers/clients in your LAN. The Port Forwarding 
allows you to re-direct a particular range of 
service port numbers (from the Internet/WAN 
Ports) to a particular LAN IP address. 
 
 
53 
						

							
 
2.6.2 Virtual Server  You can have different services (e.g. email, FTP, Web etc.) going to different service 
servers/clients in your LAN. The Virtual 
Server allows you to re-direct a particular 
service port number (from the Internet/WAN 
Port) to a particular LAN IP address and its 
service port number. 
 2.6.3 Special Applications  Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet games, video 
conferencing, Internet telephony and others. 
In this section you can configure the router to 
support these types of applications. 
 2.6.4 UPnP Setting  It allows to Enable or Disable UPnP feature here. After you enable the UPnP feature, all 
client systems that support UPnP, like 
Windows XP, can discover this router 
automatically and access the Internet through 
this router without any configuration. The NAT 
Traversal function provided by UPnP can let 
applications that support UPnP smoothly 
connect to Internet sites without any 
incompatibility problem due to the NAPT port 
translation. 
 2.6.5 ALG Setting  You can select special applications that need “Application Layer Gateway” to support here. 
 2.6.6 Static Routing  You can disable NAT function and setup the routing rules manually. 
  Click on one of the three NAT sele ctions and proceed to the manuals 
relevant sub-section.
