Chapter 6: APPENDIX 1. EXPLANATION 1.1. IP Network and Address The IP networks the NX-100 and NX-100S can use include Local Area Networks (LAN) used in small-scale areas, such as within or on the premises of a company, and the Internet, which covers a wide area over remote distances. Router NX-100/100S (A) Internet NX-100/100S (B) Router NX-100/100S (C) LAN LANs differ from the Internet in the IP address to be used.
Chapter 6: APPENDIX 1.2. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Setup Software Programs Because the Internet cannot be accessed using the local IP address, the local IP address must be converted into the global IP address by means of Network Address Translation (NAT). Router 1 NX-100/100S (A) Internet Router 2 NX-100/100S (C) NX-100/100S (B) LAN Connections can be made from Unit C to Unit A using the global IP address.
Chapter 6: APPENDIX 1.4. Multicast and Simultaneous Multiple Broadcasts The multicast communication method can be utilized to make simultaneous broadcasts to two or more units. The advantage of multicast operation is the possibility of decreasing traffic. Networks that use multicast communication need to be supported by multicast addresses and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). The effective multicast address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 238.255.255.255.
