Using Static Address Translation
(Available in Wireless Routing Client and Gateway modes)
If you use a notebook for work in the office, you most probably bring it
home to connect to the Internet as well. Since it is most likely that your
office network and home network broadband-sharing network subnets
are configured differently, you would have the hassle of reconfiguring
your TCP/IP settings every time you use the notebook in a different
place. Static Address Translation allows you to bypass this hassle.
With SAT, if you try to access the Internet on your notebook from home
but with your office TCP/IP settings, the notebook will try to contact the
IP address of your office gateway to the Internet. When the access
point finds that the notebook is trying to contact a device lying on a
different subnet from that of the home network, it would inform the
notebook that the gateway to the Internet is in fact the access point
itself. From then the notebook would contact the access point for
access to the Internet without any change to the TCP/IP settings.
NOTE
For SAT to function properly:
1. The IP address of the notebook should belong to a different
subnet from the LAN IP address of your access point.
2. The <Default Gateway> in the TCP/IP settings of your
notebook should NOT be left blank.
