Configuring Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network. With UPnP you can specify:

•Advertisement Period. This specifies how often the gateway broadcasts its UPnP information. The default is 30 minutes. Lower numbers ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Larger numbers may compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.

•Advertisement Time to Live. The time to live for the advertisement, measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet that is sent. A hop is the number of steps that are 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, you might need to increase this value slightly.

To configure UPnP:

1.In the main menu, under Advanced, select UPnP.

2.Select the Turn UPnP On check box. The default setting is disabled, which prevents the gateway from allowing any device to automatically control of its the resources, such as port forwarding.

3.Fill in the Advertisement Period and Advertisement Time to Live fields.

The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the gateway and which internal and external ports of the
