D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
to access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, or real-time communications such as instant
messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you
should enable UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1. Select ADVANCED
> Advanced Setup > UPnP.
2. Configure the following settings:
• Turn UPnP On. Enable
or disable automatic device configuration. The default setting
for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the WiFi DSL modem router
does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port
forwarding (mapping), of the WiFi DSL modem router.
• Advertisement Period. The
advertisement period is how often the WiFi DSL modem
router broadcasts its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes.
The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have
current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can
compromise the freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
