Description
Enable UPnP
Configures your Gateway as a 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.
•
Checked = uPnP is enabled on your Gateway. (
default)
•
Unchecked = uPnP is disabled on your Gateway.
Enable HNAP
Configures the Gateway as a HNAP device. HNAP allows the Gateway to be configured and managed
by remote entities, such as Network Magic or any software application that discovers and manages
network devices.
•
Checked = HNAP is enabled on the Gateway.
•
Unchecked = HNAP is disabled on the Gateway. (
