Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
Selecting UPnP in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen generates the
“UPnP” screen. In this screen, the Universal Plug and play option is turned on or
off by activating the appropriate circle.
Universal Plug and Play is a zero-configuration networking protocol that allows
hardware and software (such as Netmeeting) to operate more efficiently. If
Netmeeting is not running properly, activate UPnP.
☞
Note: Activating UPnP presents a slight security risk. After
finishing with the hardware or software using UPnP, Actiontec
recommends deactivating UPnP.
Status
After configuring the Gateway, settings can be viewed by selecting Status in
the Main Menu. The “Current Status” screen appears, displaying many of the
Gateway’s settings. No settings (other than connecting or disconnecting from the
Internet) can be changed from the Current Status screen.
