Time and Time Zone
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system
clock to the global Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is
used to record the security log and control client filtering. Select the
time zone that you reside in. If you reside in an area that observes
daylight saving time, then place a check mark in the box next to “Enable
Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately. Allow
at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on the
Internet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.
Remote Management
Before you enable this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE
ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to
make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet.
UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless
operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other
applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the
Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly.
This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports and in some instances
setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the
ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the Router
which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with
the UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are
UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features,
you can enable the UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP
Enabling” section of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save
the change.
