DESCRIPTION

Active the Universal Plug and

Play (UPnP) Feature

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

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

entering the ZyXEL Device'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 ZyXEL Device so that they can

communicate through the ZyXEL Device, 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 to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically pass

through the ZyXEL Device’s firewall. This is less secure, but you do not

have to configure firewall rules for these applications.

Apply

Click Apply to save the setting to the ZyXEL Device.

Cancel

Click Cancel to return to the previously saved settings.
