UPnP 
14.1.3 Cautions with UPnP 
The automated nature of NAT Transversal applications in establishing their own services and opening 
firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be 
obtained and modified by users in some network environments.  
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. 
Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.  
14.2  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
