Description

 

Remote Access

Remote Management

 

Allows you to enable to disable remote management. This feature

 

allows you to access and manage your gateway settings from the

 

Internet when you are away from home. To allow remote access,

 

select Enable. Otherwise, keep the default setting, as Disable. The

 

protocol HTTP is required for remote management. To remotely

 

access the device, enter https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 (the x's

 

represent the device's public Internet IP address, and 8080

 

represents the specified port) in your web browser's Address field.

 

Management Port

 

Enter the port number that will be open to outside access. The

 

factory default setting is 8080. This port must be used when you

 

establish a remote connection.

 

 

 

UPnP

UPnP

 

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows Windows XP and Vista to

 

automatically configure the Gateway for various Internet

 

applications, such as gaming and videoconferencing. If you want

 

to use UPnP, keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Disable.

 

 

 

IGMP

IGMP Proxy

 

Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) is used to establish

 

membership in a multicast group and is commonly used for

 

multicast streaming applications. For example, you may have

 

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) with multiple set-top boxes on

 

the same local network. These set-top boxes have different video

 

streams running simultaneously, so you should use the IGMP

 

feature of the Router.

 

IGMP forwarding (proxying) is a system that improves

 

multicasting for LAN-side clients. If the clients support this

 

option, keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Disable.
