FAQ

What is NAT?

Answer. NAT is Network Address Translation. It is proposed and described in RFC-1631 and is originally for solving the IP address depletion problem. Basically, "each NAT box has a table consisting of pairs of locally private IP addresses and globally unique public IP addresses," by which the box can "translate" the private IP addresses to public IP address and vice versa. MISTRAL LAN ROUTER ISDN supports the feature of NAT. With proper configuration, multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device.

Why should I need to assign static private IP Address to certain workstations or PCs?

Answer. With built-in DHCP feature, each workstation or PC will be assigned by MISTRAL LAN ROUTER ISDN a different private IP address whenever power is on. For specific-purpose workstations, such as Mail server, FTP server, or Mail Server, we need to set up the static private IP address to prevent from losing connection.

How do I set up the Idle Time?

Answer. The default setting for Idle Time is 120 seconds; meaning that MISTRAL LAN ROUTER ISDN will shut down ISDN connection automatically once it have no traffic on the connection over 120 seconds. To keep ISDN on without interruption, reset the Idle Time to 0.

Is there any effect if I add another DHCP server into the local network in which connected with an existing DHCP server?

Answer. When it hooks up with power and network, it will detect whether there is any DHCP Server existed automatically. If it does, MISTRAL LAN ROUTER ISDN will shut down DHCP feature automatically, and will close this detective function as well.
