Example: IPTV Service Setting
Go to Advanced mode > Configuration > WAN > WAN Profile. Add a new WAN profile using the
Pure Bridge protocol. Information should be provided by your local service provider.
Note: Description name should not contain any space.
Then go to Advanced mode > Configuration > Advanced > VLAN. Then configure a port that will
use the IPTV application. The example below is a setting that illustrates that only Ethernet port #4
can connect to STB and use IPTV.
Note: The VLAN setting illustrated bridges both WAN Profile and the Ethernet Port 4 so that
the Ethernet port can connect to STB and get the IP directly from the IPTV Service Network.
Thus, Ethernet port 4 can no longer be used for internet access and WEB management.

Device Management
The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s
security options and device monitoring features.
Device Host Name
Host Name: Assign it a name.
Note: The Host Name must have more than a word. These two words should be connected
with a ‘.’ period inbetween.
Example:
Host Name: homegateway ==> Incorrect
Host Name: home.gateway or my.home.gateway ==> Correct)
Embedded Web Server
HTTP Port: This is the port number that the router embedded web server (for web-based configuration)
will use. The default value is the standard HTTP port 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for
example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN.
Management IP Address: You may specify an IP address for logon and access the router web
server. Setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 will disable IP address restrictions, allowing users to login
from any IP address.
Expire to auto-logout: Specify a duration for the system to log the user out of the configuration
session automatically.
For Example:
User A changes the HTTP port number to 100, specifies their own IP address as 192.168.1.55 and
sets the logout time as 100 seconds. The router will only allow User A to access the Web GUI from
the IP address 192.168.1.55 by typing http://192.168.1.254:100 in their web browser. Nevertheless,
after 100 seconds the device will automatically log User A out of the system.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with the
feature to control data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running
NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems.
By letting the application
Page 153 / 166
control the required settings and removing the need for the user to control the advanced configuration
of their device will make tasks such as port forwarding become easier.
Both user’s Operating System and its relevant applications must support UPnP in addition to the
router. Windows XP and Windows Me have a native built-in support for UPnP (when the component
is installed). Windows 98 users may have to install the Internet Connection Sharing client from
Windows XP in order to support UpnP feature. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
Disable: Check to inactivate the router’s UPnP functionality.
Enable: Check to activate the router’s UPnP functionality.
UPnP Port: Default setting is 2800. It is highly recommended for users to use this port value. If this
value conflicts with other ports that have been used, you are allowed to change the port number.
Click Apply to confirm the settings.
