The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG-
417N features described in this chapter.

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-417N'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-417N so that they can
communicate through the NBG-417N, 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-417N.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
