operating system. Also may be disabled if your operating system does not support UPnP.
•
Enable Discovery and advertisement only (SSDP)
Only allows the Gateway to send information about new devices (hardware) detected. No
information concerning software applications or services is transmitted. Note that UPnP must be
enabled in your supported operating system to use this feature. See
About UPnP
below for more
information on supported operating systems and enabling UPnP functionality.
•
Enable full Internet Gateway Device (IGD) support
Allows the Gateway to communicate freely with computers on the network about new devices,
software applications, and services as needed to ensure they are working with minimal manual
configuration required. Note that UPnP must be enabled in your supported operating system to
use this feature. See
About UPnP
below for more information on supported operating systems and
enabling UPnP functionality.

Double-click the icon. The Gateway will open another Web page for UPnP functions. Now, the NAT
traversal function of UPnP will be available. The Gateway will create virtual servers automatically

usage.
Security
Your gateway provides broad security measures against unwanted users. Security also allows for the
configuration of the gateway firewall, administrator password, (NAT) Network Address Translation, and
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) configuration. A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access
to or from a private network. The administrator password allows you to configure all of the gateway
options. NAT is an Internet standard that enables a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of IP
addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic. The hiding of internal
addresses allows greater security for your network. DMZ allows a device on your gateway through your
firewall.
This feature is primarily used for gaming.
The administrator logon allows you access to all of
the security options while the gamer user allows access to the firewall options and address translation.
The user logon does not allow you access to any of the security options.
To access security options,
1.
Logon as the administrator.
2.

in the toolbar.
