Freeway DSL User’s Manual
4.5.6 UPnP
The Freeway DSL supports a control point for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) version 1.0,
and supports two key features:
NAT Traversal
and
Device Identification
. This feature
requires one active WAN interface. In addition, the host should support this feature. In the
presence of multiple WAN interfaces, select an interface on which the incoming traffic is
present.
With NAT Traversal, when an UPnP command is received to open ports in NAT, the
application translates the request into system commands to open the ports in NAT and the
firewall. The interface to open the ports on is given to UPnP when it starts up and is part of
the configuration of the application.
For Device Identification, the application will send a description of the Freeway DSL as a
control point back to the host making the request.
