The Administration Tab - Management
This section of the Administration tab allows the network’s administrator to manage specific Router functions for
access and security.
Router Password
Local Router Access
Router Password and Re-enter to confirm. You can change the Router’s password from here. Enter a new
Router password and then type it again in the Re-enter to confirm field to confirm.
Remote Router Access
Remote Management and Management Port. To access the Router remotely, from outside the network, verify
that Enable is selected. Then, enter the port number that will be open to outside access. You will need to enter
the Router’s password when accessing the Router this way, as usual.
UPnP
UPnP. UPnP allows Windows XP and Windows Me to automatically configure the Router for various Internet
applications, such as gaming and videoconferencing. To enable UPnP, check the Enable radio box. Because
allowing this may present a risk to security, this feature is disabled by default.
Multicast
Multicast Pass Through. Multicasting allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time.
If multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate
computers. Select Enable to allow multicasting, or Disable to disable this feature.
Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel
Changes to cancel your changes.
