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 check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to
bypass the firewall.
Clear this check box to have the firewall block all UPnP application packets
