Time and Time Zone

The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time

Protocol (SNTP) server� This allows the Router to synchronize the system

clock to the global Internet� The synchronized clock in the Router is

used to record the security log and control client filtering� Select the

time zone that you reside in� If you reside in an area that observes

daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to “Enable

Daylight Saving”� The system clock may not update immediately� Allow

at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the

Internet and get a response� You cannot set the clock yourself�

Remote Management

Before you enable this function,

make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet�

UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless

operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other

applications that are UPnP-compliant� Some applications require the

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 Router, basically “telling” the Router

which way it needs the firewall configured� The 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�
