A CCESS G ATEWAY16 Introductionengine selects an IP address from a freely definable pool of publicly routable IP addresses. Thesame public IP address can be used as a source IP to support concurrent tunnels to differenttermination devices—offering unmatched efficiency in the utilization of costly public IPaddresses. If the protocol type can be supported without the use of a public IP (for example,HTTP, FTP), our proven Dynamic Address Translation™ functionality continues to be used.Some of the benefits of iNAT™ include: Improves the success rate of VPN connectivity by misconfigured users, thus reducingcustomer support costs and boosting customer satisfaction. Maintains the security benefits of traditional address translation technologies whileenabling secure VPN connections for mobile workers accessing corporate resourcesfrom a public access location. Dynamically adjusts the mode of address translation during the user's session,depending on the packet type. Supports users with static private IP addresses (for example, 192.168.x.x) or public(different subnet) IP addresses without any changes to the client IP settings. Dramatically heightens the reusability factor of costly public IP addresses.Information and Control ConsoleThe Nomadix ICC is a HTML-based pop-up window that is presented to subscribers with theirWeb browser.
