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.
