LABEL DESCRIPTION
Device Name This field identifies your device in UPnP applications.
Enable the
Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP)
Feature Select this to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP
application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering
the WiMAX Device's IP address. You still have to enter the password,
however.
Allow users to
make
configuration
changes
through UPnP Select this to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically
configure the WiMAX Device so that they can communicate through the
WiMAX Device. For example, 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 to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to bypass the
firewall. Clear this if you want the firewall to check UPnP application
packets (for example, MSN packets).
Apply Click to save your changes.
Reset Click to restore your previously saved settings.
