Manage the Gateway
Field
Description
Remote Access
Remote Management
Allows you to enable or 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 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
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.
Administration > Reporting
Administration reporting allows you to email various system activities to your email
address.
