Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered
by your MyEssentials Router. It 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. 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.
Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new
firmware is available. When you log into the Router's Web-Based Advanced
User Interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is
available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the new
version or ignore it. The Router ships with this feature enabled. If you want
to disable it, select "Disable" and click "Apply Changes".
