USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature

offered by your Belkin Router� It is a technology that offers seamless

operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other

applications that are UPnP-compliant� Some applications require the

Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly�

This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports� An application that

is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router,

basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall configured�

The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled� If you are using any

applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the

UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP feature� Simply select “Enable”

in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the “System Settings” page� Click

“Apply Changes” to save the change�

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to

automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the

new firmware is available� When you log into the Router’s Web-Based

Advanced User Interface, the Router will perform a check to see if

new firmware is available� If so, you will be notified� You can choose

to download the new version or ignore it� The Router ships with this

feature enabled� If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click

“Apply Changes”�
