8.3 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for exchanging information
between network devices. It enables a host computer to access configuration, performance, and
other system data that resides in a database on the modem. The host computer is called a
management station and the modem is called an SNMP agent. The data that can be accessed
via SNMP is stored in a Management Information Database (MIB) on the modem.
Get Community: Select to set the password for incoming Get- and GetNext request from
management station.
Set Community: Select to set the password for incoming Set request from management station.
The default password is ‘public’. When you are done making changes, click on SAVE to save
your changes.
8.4 UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses
TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP device can
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other
devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly an automatically when it
is no longer in use. UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.
How do I know if I'm using UPnP?

UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (in Windows XP &
Windows ME). Each UPnP-compatible device that is installed on your network will appear as a
separate icon.
