Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a function that allows multiple devices to share the same public, routable IP
address to establish connections over the Internet. NAT is present in many broadband access devices to translate pub-
lic and private IP address.
Yealink phones can work with certain types of NAT.
