quickly: If you hold down the up/down button for more than a second, the letter

Enter WebMux Domain Name:

This is for identification only, no effect for network operation. Although it can be

any name, we suggest using the primary domain name of the Router LAN

network. If you have only one domain, use that domain name. Note the left most

position on the LCD has changed to an up and down arrow, allowing the user to

go back and forth for questions and answers.

Choose NAT mode or Out-of-Path Mode:

This is where to choose NAT (Network Address Translation) or Out-of-Path mode.

“*” is a default or selected option. Network address translation provides

protection to the servers; it can handle large amounts of data as noted in the

specification. It provides the best security for isolating servers from any other

part of the networks. Out-of-Path provides better performance when huge

amounts of data need to go back to clients (up to 100X more than specification

chart); it also does not require a change to the server IP address. If choosing

NAT, continue to the next setting; otherwise, skip next few settings and go to

direct routing. If answer NO here, please continue setup referring to page 21, the

Out-of-Path Setup Information section.

Enter Router LAN WebMux Proxy IP Address:

This is the IP address that the WebMux uses as the external IP address when it

functions as a proxy. This IP address can be used to setup the first farm. When

any server behind the WebMux (on the Server LAN) initiates communication with

another host, the WebMux substitutes the servers’ IP address with this address.

(This is true for all services, except FTP services, which use the FTP farm IP

address for passive FTP connection).
