4.1.2 Address Translation

This section explains two types of the IP address translation available as a part of the many feature of the ThinConnect4.

IP Masquerade

Normally, when you sign up with a local ISP for the Internet, that account is usually valid for only one user. This type of address translation allows you to share a single account with multi-users. The maximum 256 sessions are available. For the popular web browser and e-mail programs, each PC is considered to occupy 10 sessions. That is, about 20 PCs can run Internet applications at the same time through one single connection. Some application softwares may not be compatible under IP Masquerade. In this case select NAT (Network Address Translation) instead.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT allows multiple PC connection together, but while one PC is connected to the Internet, others cannot be connected at the same time.

1.If you want to connect all PCs to Internet at the same time, select “IP Masquerade” in the “Address Translation” window below.For sequential connection one at a time, choose “NAT”.
