HOW NAT Works | Netopia R5300, R5200, R5100 specification

9-2 User’s Reference Guide

NAT works by remapping the source IP address of trafﬁc from the LAN to a single static or dynamically assigned IP address shown to the remote side of the router.

The feature can be implemented on a per–connection proﬁle basis. The network router can use two or more connection proﬁles simultaneously to connect to two or more networks. Each proﬁle can have NAT enabled.

When NAT is enabled, the Netopia R5000 Series Router can use either a statically assigned IP address or one dynamically assigned each time the router connects to the ISP. While a dynamically assigned IP address offers the ISP more ﬂexibility, it does have an important limitation: the router requires a static IP address to support Web, FTP, or other services available to the WAN. To support these services with NAT enabled, a service can be associated with only one machine on the LAN.

When connected to the Internet or some other large network using NAT, the individual machines on your LAN are not directly accessible from the WAN. NAT provides an inherently secure method of connection to the outside world.
