97 Chapter 11 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)

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

configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.

11.2 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 Windows Messenger 5.0 and Xbox are still being

tested.

UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.

See later sections for examples of installing UPnP in Windows XP and Windows Me as well

as an example of using UPnP in Windows.

11.2.1 Configuring UPnP

From the Site Map in the main menu, click UPnP under Advanced Setup to display the

screen shown next.

Figure 34 Configuring UPnP

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 24 Configuring UPnP

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Enable the Universal Plug

and Play (UPnP) Service

Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use

a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without

entering the Prestige'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 Prestige so that they can communicate

through the Prestige, 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.

Apply Click Apply to save the setting to the Prestige.

Cancel Click Cancel to return to the previously saved settings.
