Upnp - ZyXEL Communications LTE Series User Manual

7.4 UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple
peer-to-peer network connectivity between networking devices and software that also have UPnP
enabled. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities
and learn about other devices on the network. A device can leave a network smoothly and
automatically when it is no longer in use.
See Section 7.6 on page 97

DESCRIPTION
Select Enable to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open
the Web Configurator's login screen without entering the Zyxel Device's IP address (although
you must still enter the password to access the Web Configurator).
Select Enable to activate UPnP with NAT enabled. UPnP NAT traversal automates the process
of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically
configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices
and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions.
This field displays the index number of the entry.
This field displays the description of the UPnP NAT-T connection.
This field displays the IP address of the other connected UPnP-enabled device.
