1.2 Five steps to configure MH-5001 quickly
Let’s look at the common network topology without MH-5001 applying like Figure 1-. This is a topology which is almost used by
all the small/medium business or SOHO use as their Internet connectivity. Although that your topology is not necessarily the same
diagram below, but it still can give you a guideline to configure MH-5001 quickly.
Now you can pay attention at the IP Sharer in the diagram. The IP Sharer can provide you with NAT (Network Address Translation),
PAT (Port Address Translation) and other functions.
Figure 1-1 The example before MH-5001 applies on it
Figure 1-2 The example after MH-5001 applies on it
Here we would like to alter the original IP Sharer with the MH-5001 like Figure 1-. If we hope to have MH-5001 to replace the IP
Sharer, we just need to simply execute the following five steps as Figure 1- showed. By these steps, we hope to build an image to
tell you how to let MH-5001 work basically.
