Software Configuration section- Turbo Page, NAT, and DHCP
are enabled or disabled as per a customer’s service offering
and cannot be changed by the customer.
– Network Address Translation (NAT) - typically
used to allow multiple computers to share a single address
on the Internet. It also allows preconfigured remote
networks to be integrated easily with the DIRECWAY
network.

if enabled, this simplifies the network configuration of the
computers. The computers just need to be set up to “Obtain
IP address automatically.”
