- NAT: Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple devices on a private network to share a public, routable IP address. In order for theVoice over IP service to co-exist with NAT, some form of NAT traversal is required either on the ATA or another network device. Use this option if your ATA connects to one network on the WAN port and to another network on the LAN port. This option is selected by default and is suitable for most deployments.
- Bridge: Bridged mode is used if the ATA is acting as a bridge device to another router. Choose this option if your ATA bridges a network to its LAN port (with connected devices also in the 10.0.0x range).
- Monitor Network Drop on Internet Port Only: This parameter is used for how to report the link state when both Ethernet(LAN) and Network(WAN) ports are connected.
- Off : If you unplug and plug the WAN cable, meanwhile the LAN port state is still UP, then the ATA doesn't perform any operation.
- On : If you unplug and then plug the WAN cable, then the ATA triggers a warm reboot even though the LAN port state is still UP. In this case, the ATA will try to register again.
- The parameter takes effect only when you select the Bridge mode.
- The parameter doesn't take effect when only the WAN port is connected.
Basic Settings
