NAT	■	NAT — Before you disable this function, make sure you have changed
		the administrator password. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the

method by which the router shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the computers on your network.

This function should only be disabled if your ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other problems may also occur.

■ IPSec NAT-TPass-through— NAT-T (NAT Traversal) is an Internet Draft proposed to IETF in order to help the problems associated with passing IPSec traffic through NAT Routers. For NAT-T to work, both ends of the connection need to support this function.

Ensure that you enable NAT-Tonly if it is needed, as it will reduce

LAN-WAN throughput. The OfficeConnect Cable/DSL Router supports

NAT-T draft 2 implementation.
