Chapter 15 UPnP
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For
security reasons, the ZyXEL 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.

Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet
