 Chapter 19 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)

NBG-460N User’s Guide

The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

The sections show examples of using UPnP.  

This section shows you how to use the UPnP feature in Windows XP. You must 
already have UPnP installed in Windows XP and UPnP activated on the NBG-460N.

Make sure the computer is connected to a LAN port of the NBG-460N. Turn on 
your computer and the NBG-460N. 

Click start and Control Panel. Double-click Network Connections. An icon 
displays under Internet Gateway.

Table 87   Management > UPnP > General

Enable the Universal Plug 
and Play (UPnP) Feature

Select this check box to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone 
could use a UPnP application to open the Web Configurator's 
login screen without entering the NBG-460N'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 NBG-460N so that they can 
communicate through the NBG-460N, 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 the setting to the NBG-460N.

Reset

Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
