N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700v2
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1. Select Advanced >
Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP screen displays.
2. The available settings and information in this screen are:
Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the wireless
modem router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as
port forwarding (mapping) of the wireless modem router.
Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the wireless modem
router broadcasts its UPnP information.
This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes.
The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have
current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations can
compromise the freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
Advertisement Time to Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops
(steps) for each UPnP packet sent.
The time to live hop count is the number of steps a
broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it
disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the
advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you
notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then it might be
necessary to increase this value.
UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap
Table displays the IP address of each UPnP
device that is currently accessing the wireless modem router and which ports (internal
and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type
of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
