Device Management
The Device Management advanced configuration settings allow you to control your router’s
security options and device monitoring features.
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with the
feature to control data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running
NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems. By letting the application
control the required settings and removing the need for the user to control the advanced
configuration of their device will make tasks such as port forwarding become easier.
Both user’s Operating System and its relevant applications must support UPnP in addition to
the router. Windows XP and Windows Me have a native built-in support for UPnP (when the
component is installed). Windows 98 users may have to install the Internet Connection Sharing
client from Windows XP in order to support UpnP feature. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
