8.3 SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for exchanging information

between network devices. It enables a host computer to access configuration, performance, and

other system data that resides in a database on the modem. The host computer is called a

management station and the modem is called an SNMP agent. The data that can be accessed

via SNMP is stored in a Management Information Database (MIB) on the modem.

Get Community: Select to set the password for incoming Get- and GetNext request from

management station.

Set Community: Select to set the password for incoming Set request from management station.

The default password is ‘public’. When you are done making changes, click on SAVE to save

your changes.

8.4 UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP

for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can dynamically

join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the

network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly an automatically when it is no longer in

use. UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.

How do I know if I'm using UPnP?

UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (in Windows XP &

Windows ME). Each UPnP-compatible device that is installed on your network will appear as a

separate icon.
