DESCRIPTION
Select this check box to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone
could use a UPnP application to open the Web Configurator's
login screen without entering the NBG4115's IP address
(although you must still enter the password to access the Web
Configurator).
Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to
automatically configure the NBG4115 so that they can
communicate through the NBG4115, 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.
Click Apply to save the setting to the NBG4115.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
