Advanced
This menu provides advanced settings of the router. On the pages of this menu, you can define 
static routes and rules for remote access to the web-based interface, add name servers, enable the 
UPnP function, define interface groups, configure a DDNS service, and edit the ADSL connection 
parameters.
UPnP
On the 
Advanced / UPnP
page, you can enable the UPnP function.
UPnP is a set of networking protocols designed for automatic configuration of network devices. The 
UPnP function performs automatic configuration of the device's parameters for network 
applications requiring an incoming connection to the router.
Figure 26. The 
Advanced / UPnP
page.
If you want to manually specify all parameters needed for network applications, deselect the 
Enabled
checkbox and click the 
Change

Interface Grouping
On the 
Advanced / Interface grouping
page, you can assign virtual PVC connections to the 
router's ports (create groups of interfaces), which allows distinguishing different types of traffic. 
This function is mostly used in Triple-play networks.
Figure 27. The 
Advanced / Interface grouping 
page.
To create a new rule for interface grouping (a group of ports), click the 
Add group 
button (the 
button is not displayed if there is no WAN connection in the system).
