Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server 5 Chapter 1 Installing NAT Proxy Server Because of the lack of real IP addresses, many Internet facilities including Blaze or Savanna Series IP PBX Communication Systems must be installed behind NAT or firewall. When IP PBX system travels through virtual or floating IP, sometimes the voice packets cannot traverse NAT or firewall successfully and cause the problem of one-way or failed phone communication. This chapter guides you through the preparation, installation and basic configuration of DSG NAT Proxy.
