DESCRIPTION
Enable the Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP) Feature

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 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.
