9.1 NAT Overview - Continued

9.1.6 SUA (Single User Account) Versus NAT
SUA (Single User Account) is a ParkerVision implementation of a subset of NAT that supports

two types of mapping, Many-to-One and Server. The WR3000 Wireless Router also supports

Full Feature NAT to map multiple global IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of

clients or servers using mapping types. Select either SUA Only or Full Feature in WAN IP.

9.2 SUA Server
An SUA server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or

FTP, that you can make visible to the outside world even though SUA makes your whole

inside network appear as a single computer to the outside world.

You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local

IP address of the desired server. The port number identifi es a service; for example, web service

is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one

server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be

better to specify a range of port numbers. You can allocate a server IP address that corresponds

to a port or a range of ports.

Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such

as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and

may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure,

refer to your ISP.

Default Server IP Address
In addition to the servers for specifi ed services, NAT supports a default server IP address.

A default server receives packets from ports that are not specifi ed in this screen.

If you do not assign a Default Server IP Address, then all packets received for ports not

specifi ed in this screen will be discarded.

9.2.1 Port Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers
In addition to the servers for specifi ed services, NAT supports a default server. A service

request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default

server. If the default server is not defi ned, the service request is simply discarded.

Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes

(such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for

servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your

location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.

The most often used port numbers are shown in the table on the following page.
