common use for this functionality is to add SSL encryption to an incoming TCP connection prior to sending it along to the remote host.

The Network Translation table is used to define network mappings for TCP pipes. You must first specify the incoming TCP port to which your device or application will connect. Then, you must specify the outgoing hostname and destination TCP port for the TCP pipe.

You can also specify the source TCP port for the outgoing TCP connection. Usually, this should be set to 0 to allow automatic selection of the source port. However, if you have a firewall that imposes limits on source TCP ports then you may need to set this to something specific. Note that if you specify something other than 0, you will be limited to only 1 TCP pipe at‐a‐time for any given destination port.

For each host (peer) you will make an outgoing connection to, you need to specify the protocol options used for that host. For each host, select the Host from the “Edit settings for a different peer” selection box. Select “Add a new peer definition” link to add a new host.

The hosts are identified by their IP address or Hostname and TCP port. You may also specify wild cards. Specific host names and/or port numbers take precedence over the wild cards. An asterisk for the IP address/hostname (for instance “*:443”)
