4.5.3 UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP): When a user plugs a device which

supports UPnP into the network, the device will configure itself, acquire a

TCP/IP address, and use a discovery protocol based on the Internet's

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to announce its presence on the

network to other devices.

You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from this session.

Auto-Configured (by UPnP Application): Choose “Activated” option to

allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the router so

that they can communicate through the router, 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. If you don’t want to make configuration changes

through UPnP, just choose “Deactivated”. Click Apply to save the

setting to the router.

Note: Every time you change a setting, you must click APPLY button

once to save the setting.
