ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.

28.1.4 UPnP and ZyXEL

ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum Creates UPnP™ Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet Gateway Device). At the time of writing ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports Windows Messenger 4.6 and 4.7 while Windows Messenger 5.0 and Xbox are still being tested.

The ZyWALL only sends UPnP multicasts to the LAN.

Please see later in this User’s Guide for examples of installing UPnP in Windows XP and Windows Me as well as an example of using UPnP in Windows.
