Prestige 153/153X WAN Bridge/Routers
3-12 Internet Access
The IP address for the SUA can be either fixed or dynamically assigned when a call is connected.
In addition, you can designate a server, e.g., a web server, on your local network and make it
accessible to outside world.
If you do not define a server, SUA offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. If no server
is defined, all incoming inquiries will be filtered out by your Prestige and thus preventing
intruders from probing your network.
Your Prestige accomplishes this address sharing by translating the internal LAN IP addresses to a
single address that is globally unique on the Internet. For more information on IP address
translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).
