USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature
offered by your Belkin Router� 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
Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly�
This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports� An application that
is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router,
basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured�
The Router 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 “System Settings” page� Click
“Apply Changes” to save the change�
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router 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 Router’s Web-Based
Advanced User Interface, the Router 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� The Router ships with this
feature enabled� If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click
“Apply Changes”�
