The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP.
The UPnP page displays.
5. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.
By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be enabled or
disabled. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the cable modem router does not allow any device
to automatically control cable modem router resources, such as port forwarding.
6. Type the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the cable 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 receive 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.
7. Type the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. Hops
are the steps a packet takes between cable modem routers. The number of hops can range from 1 to
255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home
networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be
necessary to increase this value.
8. Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the cable
modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device opened.The UPnP Portmap Table
also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.
9. To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap Table, click the Refresh button.
