7.3 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for exchanging information between
network devices. It enables a host computer to access configuration, performance, and other system
data that resides in a database on the modem. The host computer is called a management station and
the modem is called an SNMP agent. The data that can be accessed via SNMP is stored in a
Management Information Database (MIB) on the modem.
Get Community: Select to set the password for incoming Get- and GetNext request from management
station.
Set Community: Select to set the password for incoming Set request from management station.
The default password is ‘public’. When you are done making changes, click on SAVE to save your
changes.
7.4UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In
turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use. UPnP
broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.
How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (in Windows XP &
Windows ME). Each UPnP-compatible device that is installed on your network will appear as a
separate icon.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from this
session.
Auto-Configured (by UPnP Application): UPnP network devices can automatically configure
network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable
exchange of simple product and service descriptions. Choose “Activated” option to allow UPnP-
enabled applications to automatically configure the ADSL Router so that they can communicate
through the ADSL Router, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically
reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this
