LTE Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1515
•
Turn UPnP On
. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If this feature is disabled, the router will not
allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the router.
•
Advertisement Period
. The advertisement period is how often the router advertises
(broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The
default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current
device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations might
compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network
traffic.
•
Advertisement Time To Live
. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in
hops for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate
for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which
should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being
updated or reached correctly, then it might be necessary to increase this value a little.
•
UPnP Portmap Table
. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each
UPnP device that is currently accessing the router and which ports (internal and
external) that device has opened.
