The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 57   Configuring UPnP

Enable the Universal Plug 

and Play (UPnP) feature 

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 ZyAIR'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 ZyAIR so that they can communicate 

through the ZyAIR, 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 your changes back to the ZyAIR.

Reset

Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.

This section shows how to install UPnP in Windows Me and Windows XP.
