Virtual Circuit: Select the Virtual Circuit Index that you plan to setup for the NAT function.

NAT Status: This field shows the current status of the NAT function for the current VC. You can go to the previous screen (shown in Figure 4-6)to activate the function.

Number of IPs; This field is to specify how many IPs are provided by your ISP for current VC. It can be single IP or multiple IPs. We select Multiple to explain.

Note:

For VCs with single IP, they share the same DMZ and Virtual servers; for VCs with multiple IPs, each VC can set DMZ and Virtual servers. Furthermore, for VCs with multiple IPs, they can define the Address Mapping rules; for VCs with single IP, since they have only one IP, there is no need to individually define the Address Mapping rule.
