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

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
