For the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400/5600 system and other IP devices to function properly in the
DMZ,
the DMZ must be a non-NAT network. That is, the devices in the DMZ use public IP
addresses. The firewall can still provide some protection from the public Internet, but it does not
translate the IP addresses or port numbers. An example is shown in the following illustration.
