Advanced

The CPE supports a host of advanced features. For basic router functionality, the user does not need to
utilize these advanced features. The features help with routing, security, port configuration, and plug and
play capability.
4.6.1

UPnP

UPnP NAT and Firewall Traversal allow traffic to pass-thru the router for applications using the UPnP
protocol. This feature requires one active DSL connection. In presence of multiple DSL connections, select
the one over which the incoming traffic will be present, for example the default Internet connection.
To enable UPnP, you must first have a WAN connection configured. Once a WAN connection is
configured, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select UPnP. This will bring up
the screen shown in Figure 13. You must enable UPnP and then select which connection will utilize
UPnP. In this case the PPPoA connection is enabled.
The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click

Port Forwarding

Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on
the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet,
the Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP
assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static). For example, if you were
configuring a Netmeeting server, you would want to assign this server a static IP address so that the IP
address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to access an Internet application,
they must use the WAN IP address. The port forwarding will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP
address.
