Figure 105   Management > UPnP

Each field is described in the following table.

Table 81   Management > UPnP

Device Name

This field identifies your device in UPnP applications.

Enable the 

Universal Plug 

and Play (UPnP) 

Feature 

Select this 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. You still have to enter the password, however.

Allow users to 

make 

configuration 

changes through 

UPnP

Select this to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the 

ZyXEL Device so that they can communicate through the ZyXEL Device. For 

example, 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 to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to bypass the firewall. 

Clear this if you want the firewall to check UPnP application packets (for example, 

MSN packets).

Apply

Click this to save your changes and to apply them to the ZyXEL Device.

Reset

Click this to set every field in this screen to its last-saved value.
