RP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual

Set up UPnP according to the guidelines below.

•Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If disabled, the router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router.

Note: If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.

•Advertisement Period. The Advertisement Period is how often the router will broadcast its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations will ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations 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 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 may be necessary to increase this value a little.

•UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the router and which ports (Internal and External) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address.

For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP Web server request Configuring a User Defined Service Configuring Service Blocking by IP Address RangeScheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced Viewing Logs of Web Access or Attempted Web Access Refresh Content FilteringLog action buttons are described in Table Click this button to refresh the log screenConfiguring E-Mail Alert and Web Access Log Notifications Day for sending log Chapter Maintenance Viewing Router Status InformationRP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual MaintenanceThis screen shows the following parameters Router Status FieldsRelease MaintenanceThis screen shows the following statistics Click the Release button to release the DHCP leaseRouter Statistics Items MaintenanceRP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual v3.1, JuneConfiguration File Management Viewing a List of Attached DevicesRestoring and Backing Up the Configuration Erasing the Configuration Upgrading the Router SoftwareChanging the Administrator Password Maintenance To change the password 1.
