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 NBG-416N'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 NBG-416N so that they can
communicate through the NBG-416N, 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 NBG-416N.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
