UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that can allow networked devices, such as
computers, printers, gaming console, Wi-Fi access points and mobile phones to automatically detect each
other's presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing,
communications, and entertainment.
Select Enable UPnP and then click the Apply/Save button to allow automatic port forwarding configuration
detection for your UPnP devices.
Note – This UPnP functionality is only available when there is a live WAN service with NAT enabled.
DNS Proxy
You can define an easy to remember proxy name for the standard URL of the gateway (192.168.20.1) to
provide more convenient access the gateway's Web UI.
Select Enable DNS Proxy and then enter the proxy Host name of the Broadband Router and the proxy
Domain name of the LAN network, as in the example shown below. Click Apply/Save to continue.
The Host name and Domain name are combined to form a unique label that is mapped to the gateway IP
address. This can be used to access the user interface of the gateway with a local name rather than by using
the gateway IP address. In the example above you will now be able to access your gateway by entering the
proxy name http://cloudmesh.home into your web browser.
Proxy names can also be custom: quick.uiaccess, goto.gatewayui, etc.
