IP Masquerade Function

The KX-HGW200 uses IP masquerade as the default function. This
function translates the local IP address of a computer in the home
network into one global IP address. The IP masquerade function can act
as a firewall for your home network, because the local IP address can
never be known to anyone outside of the home network.
