5.3.8.3 Device Management
The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s
security options and device monitoring features.
Embedded Web Server:
HTTP Port:
The port number of the router’s embedded web server (for web-based
configuration uses. The default value is the standard HTTP port, 80. You may specify an
alternative if, for example, you are running a web server on a PC within your LAN.
For Example:
User A changes HTTP port number to
100
, specifies their own IP address of
192.168.1.55
, and sets the logout time to be
100
minutes.
The router only allows User A
access from the IP address
192.168.1.55
to logon to the Web GUI by typing:
in their web browser. After 100 minutes, the device automatically
logs out User A.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP):
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along
with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users
running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks
such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings,
removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in
addition to the router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the
component is installed), and Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing
client from Windows XP in order to support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
