Gateway behind a NAT/Firewall Network

The VoIP gateway uses a private IP address and the Internet sharing function of other systems to connect to the Internet.

The following diagram shows a typical network connection in which broadband devices such as an ADSL router work in router (NAT) mode so that the gateway is behind a NAT/Firewall. In this case, the broadband router (NAT/Firewall) and the gateway need to be configured correctly in order to allow the gateway to communicate with the Internet and VoIP network properly, using different techniques to traverse the NAT/Firewall.

Note:

The above diagram shows a 4-port SmartVoice gateway for illustration purposes.

 

An 8 port SmartVoice gateway could also be used depending upon your network

 

requirements.
