Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature
offered by your Belkin Modem Router. It is a technology that offers
seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games,
and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications
require the Modem Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific
way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP
ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that
is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Modem
Router, basically “telling” the Modem Router which way it needs the
firewall configured. The Modem Router ships with the UPnP feature
disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant,
and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the
UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section
of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Modem Router with the built-in capability
to automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that
the new firmware is available. When you log into the Modem Router’s
advanced interface, the Modem Router will perform a check to see if
new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to
download the new version or ignore it.
