Applications and features

2.1Applications
The three typical applications discussed below are the Internet access, remote work, and office LAN interconnection.
Internet access
Your access to the Internet is provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Nokia M1112 connects you through your telephone line and the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network to the network of your ISP, which, in turn, is connected to the Internet. Hence, all your data goes through the ISP’s network. If you are using only one ISP for your Internet access, your ISP may give you a limited set of IP addresses belonging to its address space that you may utilise in your desktop and laptop computers on your home network.
However, in many cases it is more practical to separate your own private LAN from the ISP’s public network by using private IP addresses. This way you are not limited to the number of public IP addresses provided by your ISP but you can manage your own address space independently. For this you will need to use NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) feature available in your M1112 modem.
