DESCRIPTION
UPnP
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 EMG's IP address (although you must still
enter the password to access the web configurator).
UPnP NAT-T
Select
Enable
to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the EMG so that
they can communicate through the EMG 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.
The table below displays the NAT port forwarding rules added automatically by UPnP NAT-T.
