Description
Enable UPnP
Determines whether the Gateway’s UPnP capabilities are enabled or disabled. Choices are:
•
Enabled = enables the Gateway’s UPnP capabilities.
•
Disabled = disables the Gateway’s UPnP capabilities.
Advertisement Period
Specify how often, in seconds, the Gateway broadcasts its UPnP information. This value can
range from 1 to 2147483648 seconds. Short durations ensure that control points have current
device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Long durations can compromise the
freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.
Time To Live
Configure the number of hops (steps) for the advertisement time to live. The time to live for the
advertisement is measured in hops for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the
number of steps a broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement
before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default setting should be
fine for most home networks. If some of your devices are not being updated or reached
correctly, you can increase this value slightly.
