8.4 The UPnP Screen

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

for more information on UPnP.
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 SBG3500-N's IP address (although
you must still enter the password to access the web configurator).
Select Enable to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the SBG3500-
N so that they can communicate through the SBG3500-N 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.
