General description

The AmsNAT function enables XAE systems to establish routes to two or more controllers having the same AmsNetId (Figure 2). Beyond that, AmsNAT offers a solution with which different ADS devices with the same AmsNetId can communicate with one another via ADS. Virtual AmsNetIds are used with AmsNAT. A virtual AmsNetId is a unique address for a connected ADS device that is replaced by the real AmsNetId of the target system during communication. This means that the AmsNAT function ensures, in all communication that takes place via ADS, that the AmsNetId of the target system is replaced.
