ZyXEL Communications Corporation AMG1302 Manuel D’Utilisation

Chapter 18 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)

AMG1302-T10A User’s Guide

When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For 

security reasons, the Device allows multicast messages on the LAN only.

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. 

Disable UPnP if this is not your intention. 

ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP™ 

Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports Internet Gateway Device (IGD) 

1.0. 

See the following sections for examples of installing and using UPnP.

Use the following screen to configure the UPnP settings on your Device. Click Advanced > UPnP to 

display the screen shown next.

See 

Advanced > UPnP > General

The following table describes the fields in this screen.

Active 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 Device'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 Device so that they can communicate through the 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.
