NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT enables a local-area network to use one set of private IP addresses for internal traffic and an
assigned or static IP address for external traffic. The built-in NAT module in the EXPLORER™ 700
makes all necessary address translations between the local-area traffic and the external traffic.
If more than one user is connected to the LAN interface of the EXPLORER™ 700, it is necessary to
use a switch, as the EXPLORER™ 700 only has one LAN connector. If more than one user is
connected using a switch, you must select Router mode to use the NAT of the EXPLORER™ 700.
