Manage the Gateway
Field Description
Remote Access Remote Management
Allows you to enable to disable remote management. This feature
allows you to access and manage your gateway settings from the
Internet when you are away from home. To allow remote access,
select Enable. Otherwise, keep the default setting, as Disable. The
protocol HTTP is required for remote management. To remotely
access the device, enter https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 (the x's
represent the device's public Internet IP address, and 8080
represents the specified port) in your web browser's Address field.
Management Port
Enter the port number that will be open to outside access. The
factory default setting is 8080. This port must be used when you
establish a remote connection.
UPnP UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows Windows XP and Vista to
automatically configure the Gateway for various Internet
applications, such as gaming and videoconferencing. If you want
to use UPnP, keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Disable.
IGMP IGMP Proxy
Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) is used to establish
membership in a multicast group and is commonly used for
multicast streaming applications. For example, you may have
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) with multiple set-top boxes on
the same local network. These set-top boxes have different video
streams running simultaneously, so you should use the IGMP
feature of the Router.
IGMP forwarding (proxying) is a system that improves
multicasting for LAN-side clients. If the clients support this
option, keep the default, Enable. Otherwise, select Disable.
