Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network
Address Translation).

for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are
supported. Furthermore, SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login are sup-
ported as well.
• PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet
(WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer
Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Di-
rect Connection" type services.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, VRT-
401 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP Address.
