Field

Means

LAN IP Address

Default: 192.168.1.1. The LAN IP address of your NB9/NB9W.

LAN Subnet Mask

Default: 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask of your NB9/NB9W. A subnet mask is used to
determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. For more information on subnetting see
http://www.ralphb.net/IPSubnet/.

Enable UPnP

Universal plug and play (UPnP) allows traffic to pass through the NB9/NB9W for applications
using the UPnP protocol. This feature requires one active WAN connection. In addition, the
client connecting to the NB9/NB9W should support this feature.
UPnP also supports NAT Traversal which can automatically solve many NAT-related
communications problems. UPnP enables applications to assign dynamic port mappings to
the NB9/NB9W and delete them when connections are complete.
A typical example is the MSN Messenger application that runs on Windows. Instead of
manually setting up the port mappings UPnP enables MSN Messenger to make the request
to the NB9/NB9W which will setup these ports dynamically. When MSN Messenger is closed
the port openings will be removed from the NB9/NB9W’s configuration.
Configure the second IP address and subnet mask for LAN interface. It is possible to
configure the second IP address to access the NB9/NB9W on. Once this box is checked you
are able to enter the IP address and subnet mask.
