This is the simplest mode as all data is transparent and at layer 2. NAT mode puts the WiFi wireless traffic on a LAN, and the rest of the Silvus mesh network on a WAN. In effect, this means that a device connected wirelessly via the NAT AP will be able to find any device in the larger mesh network, but not vice versa.
“+”. Traffic may be prevented from reaching a radio by adding postfix “-”. (e.g. 224.50.50.50 1234, 1235-, 1236+) If receiver_id is -1, it will stop multicast traffic for this group. Page 84 10017C000 Silvus Technologies Confidential...
