Figure 15-1 Configuring UPnP

The following table describes the fields in this screen.

Enable the Universal Plug

and Play (UPnP) feature

Allow users to make

configuration changes

through UPnP

Allow UPnP to pass

through firewall

Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a

UPnP application to open the WebGUI's login screen without entering the

Contivity 221's IP address (although you must still enter the password to

access the WebGUI).

Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically

configure the Contivity 221 so that they can communicate through the

Contivity 221, 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.

Select this check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to

bypass the firewall.

Clear this check box to have the firewall block all UPnP application packets

(for example, MSN packets).
