LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Enable the Universal Plug

and Play (UPnP) Service

Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use

a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without

entering the Prestige's IP address (although you must still enter the

password to access the web configurator).

Allow users to make

configuration changes

through UPnP

Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to

automatically configure the Prestige so that they can communicate

through the Prestige, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP

applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to

communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the

need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled

application.

Allow UPnP to pass through

Firewall

Select this check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to

bypass the firewall.
Clear this check box to have the firewall block all UPnP application

packets (for example, MSN packets).

Apply

Click Apply to save the setting to the Prestige.

Cancel

Click Cancel to return to the previously saved settings.
