5.4.4. UPnP 

When the UPnP function is enabled, the router can be detected by UPnP 

compliant system such as Windows XP. The router will be displayed in the 

Neighborhood of Windows XP, so you can directly double click the router or right 

click the router and select “Invoke” to configure the router through web browser. 

 

 

 

Parameter 

Description

 

UPnP 

Activated or deactivated the UPnP function.  

 

 

Auto-configured 

Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications 

to automatically configure the router so that they can 

communicate through the router, 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.
