Section 4 - LAN Conguration
UPnP Setup
Path: Network > LAN > UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a feature that allows the router to discover devices on the network that can
communicate with the router and allow for auto-conguration. If a network device is detected by UPnP, the
router can open internal or external ports for the trac protocol required by that network device. If disabled, the
router will not allow for automatic device conguration and you may have to manually open/forward ports to
allow applications to work.
To congure the UPnP settings:
1. Click Network > LAN > UPnP.
2. Toggle Activate UPnP to On.
3. Select a VLAN from the LAN Segment drop-down menu.
4. Enter a value for Advertisement Period. This is the frequency that the router broadcasts UPnP information
over the network. A large value will minimize network trac but cause delays in identifying new UPnP
devices to the network.
5. Enter a value for Advertisement Time to Live. This is the number of steps a packet is allowed to propagate
before being discarded. Small values will limit the UPnP broadcast range. A default of 4 is typical for
networks with a few number of switches.
6. Click Save.
7. Your entry will be displayed in the UPnP Port Map List. To edit or delete, right-click an entry and select
the action from the menu. Repeat steps 2-6 to add multiple entries.
