Setup notes if a NAT router firewall

If behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) router, in addition to other set up:

In the LonIpNetwork’s ipChannel, Network Config property sheet, set the following properties:
- Use Extended Nat
  
  Set this to true.
  This is automatically forced to true if extended NAT messages are detected.
- Nat Ip Address
  
  Enter the IP address of the Internet side of the NAT router.
The NAT router must be set up to forward any port used by the station as a LonIp channel node, as well as any other LonIp channel members.

If the station is the Config Server, then the Config Server port must also be forwarded. Refer to manufacturer instructions for setting up port forwarding.

Setup of LonIp routers for use behind a NAT router requires setting the NAT router address and possibly other config information that is not defined in CEA-852. Therefore, refer to each device manufacturer’s instructions for such configuration. Also, note that setup may require use of their Config Server.
