    Furthermore, ADN-4000 provides DHCP server, NAT, Virtual Server, DMZ, Access Control, IP Filter, PPTP/IPSec/L2TP pass-through, DDNS, and UPnP capability. The ADN-4000 also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. It provides the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation, NAT). All incoming and outgoing IPs are monitored and filtered.
  • Page 8 Virtual Servers This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy. DMZ Support The ADN-4000 can translate public IP addresses to private IP address to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the most flexibility to run programs, which could be incompatible in NAT environment.
