2.4.1 Address Mapping
The Address Mapping function allows IP addresses used in a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be mapped (translated) to different Public IP Addresses used in the public/global Internet. This feature limits the number of Public IP addresses required from the ISP and also maintains the privacy and security of the Local Area Network. Essentially the Broadband router allows one or more Public IP Address(es) to be mapped to a pool of local Private IP Address(es). You can set which WAN ports a virtual IP range can use to access the Internet. The virtual IP range will use the public IP of the WAN port in using when access Internet.
Parameter | Description |
WAN ports | You can assign WAN ports that each virtual IP |
| range can use to access the Internet. The Public/legal |
| IP addresses of WAN ports that exist in the Internet that |
| will be transformed to one or more private/Virtual IP |
| address (LAN PC clients) e.g. 192.168.2.x. This means |
| that the private IP addess(es) selected will use the public |
| IP addresses of designated WAN ports when accessing |
| the Internet |
| Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a |
| fixed/static IP address for Address Mapping to work |
| properly. |
