DESCRIPTION

UPnP

Select Enable 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).

 

 

UPnP NAT-T

Select Enable to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically

State

configure the ZyXEL Device so that they can communicate through the

 

ZyXEL Device 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.
