Belkin N1 user manual Enabling/Disabling UPnP, Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your Belkin N1 Vision. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the N1 Vision’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP- compliant has the ability to communicate with the N1 Vision, basically “telling” the N1 Vision which way it needs the firewall configured. The N1 Vision ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

This innovation provides the N1 Vision with the built-in capability to automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is available. When you log into the N1 Vision’s advanced interface, the N1 Vision will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it.
