After configuring your computer for TCP/IP and performing the preconfiguration guidelines
on the previous page, you can now easily configure your Gateway from the convenient Web-
based management interface. From your Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator, versions 5.0 or later), you will log in to the interface to define system
parameters, change password settings, view status windows to monitor network conditions,
and control the Gateway and its ports.

screens, use the following procedure.
1. Launch a Web browser.

Option
Description
Enable UPnP
Configures your Gateway as a Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) Internet gateway. UPnP allows for dynamic
connectivity between devices on a network. A UPnP-enabled device like your Gateway can obtain an IP address,
advertise its capabilities, learn about other connected UPnP devices and then communicate directly with those
devices. The same device can end its connection cleanly when it wishes to leave the UPnP community. The intent
of UPnP is to support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking of devices including intelligent appliances, PCs,
printers, and other smart devices using standard protocols.
Check = uPnP is enabled on the Gateway. (
default)
Uncheck = uPnP is disabled on the Gateway.
Enable HNAP
Configures your Gateway as a Home Network Administration Protocol (HNAP) device. HNAP allows your
Gateway to be configured and managed by remote entities, such as Network Magic or any software application
that discovers and manages network devices.
Check = HNAP is enabled on the Gateway.
Uncheck = HNAP is disabled on the Gateway. (
default)
