through UPnP
Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically
configure the BIPAC-5100S so that they can communicate through the
BIPAC-5100S, 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.
