If you do not define any 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).

3.6.2 Single User Account Configuration

The steps for configuring your Prestige for Single User Account are identical to the conventional Internet
access (See configuration instructions in Table 3-4) with the exception that you need to fill in two extra
fields in Menu 4 - Internet Access Setup, as shown in the following figure. SUA here is applied solely to
the output interface and is valid only for LAN -- WAN connections and not for connections between LANs.
