This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the“outside” i.e. the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since mostbroadband routers are pre-configured to stop any attempts to access the private network(LAN) from the public network/Internet.Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 231D+/232D+ is located on an intranet (LAN) and youwish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversalproperly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router will beforwarded to the camera.LAN (intranet) WAN (internet)Broadband(NAT)routerISPNotes: • For NAT traversal to work, this must also be supported by the broadband router.• The broadband router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”,“Broadband sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 231D+/232D+ will attempt to configure portmapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™.
