Compex Systems WPE53G manual Using Static Address Translation

Using Static Address Translation

(Available in Wireless Routing Client and Gateway modes)

If you use a notebook for work in the office, you most probably bring it home to connect to the Internet as well. Since it is most likely that your office network and home network broadband-sharing network subnets are configured differently, you would have the hassle of reconfiguring your TCP/IP settings every time you use the notebook in a different place. Static Address Translation allows you to bypass this hassle.

With SAT, if you try to access the Internet on your notebook from home but with your office TCP/IP settings, the notebook will try to contact the IP address of your office gateway to the Internet. When the access point finds that the notebook is trying to contact a device lying on a different subnet from that of the home network, it would inform the notebook that the gateway to the Internet is in fact the access point itself. From then the notebook would contact the access point for access to the Internet without any change to the TCP/IP settings.

NOTE

For SAT to function properly:

1.The IP address of the notebook should belong to a different subnet from the LAN IP address of your access point.

2.The <Default Gateway> in the TCP/IP settings of your notebook should NOT be left blank.

Step 1:

Select Static Address Translation from the Home User Features command menu.

Step 2:

Select whether to Enable or

Disable SAT, and click the

Apply button.

SAT is disabled by default.
