LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Device Name

This field identifies your device in UPnP applications.

Enable the

Universal Plug

and Play (UPnP)

Feature

Select this 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. You still have to enter the password, however.

Allow users to

make

configuration

changes through

UPnP

Select this to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the

ZyXEL Device so that they can communicate through the ZyXEL Device. For

example, 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 traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to bypass the firewall.

Clear this if you want the firewall to check UPnP application packets (for example,

MSN packets).

Apply

Click this to save your changes and to apply them to the ZyXEL Device.

Reset

Click this to set every field in this screen to its last-saved value.
