8.4b Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
To access the UPnP settings, perform the following:
Click 1. Universal Plug and Play in the Advanced screen. The “Universal Plug
and Play” settings screen appears.
Click in the “Allow Other Network Users to Control Wireless Broadband 2.
FiOS Router’s Network Features” check box to enable UPnP and allow UPnP
services to be defined on any of the network hosts.
Click in the “Enable Automatic Cleanup of Old Unused UPnP Services” check 3.
box to enable automatic cleanup of invalid rules. When enabled, this feature
checks validity of all the UPnP services and rules every five minutes. Any
old and unused UPnP defined service is removed, unless a user defined rule
depends on it. Since there is a maximum limitation on the number of UPnP
defined services (256), enable the cleanup feature if the limit is in danger of
being exceeded.
Select whether all WAN connections, or only the main WAN connection, will 4.
have UPnP active, from the “WAN Connection Publication” drop-down list.
UPnP services are not deleted when disconnecting a computer without proper
shutdown of the UPnP application (e.g., messenger). Thus, services may often
not be deleted,. This will eventually lead to exhaustion of rules and services, and
no new services can be defined. In this scenario, the cleanup feature will find the
invalid services and remove them, preventing services exhaustion.
