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.

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.
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.
UPnP – You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from this session.
