Overview

When having printer devices behind a firewall on a LAN environment, sometimes, configuring a rule to allow the communication with other devices, e.g., PCs, mobiles, etc., is not enough to make certain features to work.

There may be instances, for example, in which you would like to enable an advanced feature that needs to send scanned documents to an external email account. In such cases, a NAT is required to make this feature work. This article provides relevant information to be applied in such cases. 

Environment

Kerio Control

Admin access to Kerio Control Admin WebUI.
