Historical Document

These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

I will make attempts to renew and refresh Links to either the most current site or use the Way Back Machine Archive so that people can at least look at what was used. I will make Edit Notes on this and on those where I can find no link to replace the older one as I go through the document.

2 Modem UPnP

This shows how to get to UPnP on this device. When compared to the Linksys pages you can get the idea that UPnP can be anywhere, which is more the purpose of these Pictures.

The Navigation to here is Advanced > NAPT and then the fourth tab, as the yellow highlights and arrows show.

As another example to prove the settings can be anywhere, here is my current Sagem Modem settings for UPnP.

You can see it is in Advanced and then it's Own page.

It also displays the "hops" I was talking about on the Linksys page and the Time to Live before closing after inactivity.

In my case both the Hops and the Time to Live settings have been changed from the Defaults of 4 Hops and 30 mins.

This link shows the D-Link Emulator I have found has it in Advanded and then Advanced Network.

About This Page

The Thomson-Alcatel's UPnP setting.

Apart from showing owners where this is set the main purpose to to highlight the setting can be anywhere in the Set Up pages of your device.

Compatibility

Much of this page has been altered to be as HTML 5 compatible as possible. This may cause issues with any of the Browser below.

I have tested in Safari 18.1, Firefox 130.x and 131.0, Vivaldi 6.9.3447.48 and iCab 6.2.3 (All Mac Browsers) I don't have access to a PC let alone multiple browsers to test on.

Previously confirmed to work with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed), Firefox 2, Safari 3, Opera 9, iCab 3.02 and later, Mac/IE 5, Netscape 6 and later

Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) may only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
