You can also configure a [Device Name] that is associated with a specific MAC address. In doing
this, you can easily recognize the computers that you are in your access list.


NOTE
: MAC filtering only applies to Wireless Clients.





NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the

Internet through a single public IP address.

Port Forwarding
The Gateway supports port forwarding that enables customers to host servers on their LAN.

You can configure this feature to redirect the external service request to the appropriate
internal server and port.


For example, if you are running a WEB server, you can configure all traffic on port 80 to be

redirected to the IP address of the WEB server running on your network.

To access the Port Forwarding configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [NAT]
link and then click on the [Port Forwarding] link.
