◆ Mode - Enables/disables UPnP on the device. (Default: Disabled)
◆ TTL - Sets the time-to-live (TTL) value for UPnP messages transmitted
by the switch. (Range: 4-255; Default: 4)
◆ Advertising Duration - The duration, carried in Simple Service
Discover Protocol (SSDP) packets, which informs a control point or
