Follow the steps below to install UPnP in Windows Me.
Table 62 Configuring UPnP
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable the Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP) feature
Select this checkbox 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).
Allow users to make
configuration changes
through UPnP
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.
Allow UPnP to pass through
firewall
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).
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyXEL device.
Reset Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
