N
NAT Network Address Translation
Method for converting (private)
IP addresses to one or more (public) IP
addresses. NAT enables the IP addresses of
Network subscribers (e.g. VoIP tel-
ephones) in a
LAN to be concealed behind a shared IP address for the Router
on the
Internet.
VoIP telephones behind a NAT router cannot be reached by VoIP servers (on
account of the private IP address). To "get around" NAT, it is possible to use
(alternately)
ALG in the router, STUN in the VoIP telephone, or for the VoIP pro-
vider to use an
Outbound proxy.
If an outbound proxy is made available you must allow for this in the VoIP set-
tings for your phone.
Network Group of devices. Devices can be connected in either wired or wireless mode.
Networks can also differ in range and structure:
u Range: local networks (
LAN) or wide-area networks (WAN)
u Structure:
Infrastructure network or ad-hoc network
Network subscriber
Devices and PCs that are connected to each other in a network, e.g. servers, PCs
and phones.
O
Outbound proxy
Alternate NAT control mechanism to STUN and ALG.
Outbound proxies are implemented by the VoIP provider in firewall/NAT envi-
ronments as an alternate to
SIP proxy server. They control data traffic through
the firewall.
Outbound proxy and STUN servers should not be used simultaneously.
