Chapter 16 UPnP
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional
configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
16.1.4 UPnP and ZyXEL
ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP™
Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet
Gateway Device).
See the following sections for examples of installing and using UPnP.

DESCRIPTION
This identifies the ZyXEL device in UPnP applications.
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 ZyXEL Device'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 ZyXEL Device so that they can communicate through the
ZyXEL Device, 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).
