alternative if, for example, you are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.
For Example: User A changes HTTP port number to 100, specifies their own IP address of
192.168.1.55, and sets the logout time to be 100 seconds. The router only allows User A
access from the IP address 192.168.1.55 to logon to the Web GUI by typing:
http://192.168.1.254:100 in their web browser. After 100 seconds, the device automatically
logs out User A.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP):
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along
with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users
running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks
such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings,
removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in
addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the
component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing
client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
Disable: Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality.
Enable: Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.
UPnP Port: The default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended that you use this port
value. If the value conflicts with other ports already in use you may wish to change the port.
SNMP Access Control
Simple Network Management Protocol—software on a PC within the LAN is required to use
this function.
SNMP V1 and V2:
Read Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Read Community, and an IP
address. This community string is checked against the string entered in the configuration
file. Once the string name is matched, you can obtain this IP address and are able to view
the data.
Write Community: Specify a name to be identified as the Write Community, and an IP
address. This community string is checked against the string entered in the configuration file.
Once a string name is matched, users from this IP address are able to view and modify data.
Trap Community: Specify a name and an IP address. This community string is checked
against the string entered in the configuration file. Once a string name is matched, users
