configurator).
Allow users to make
configuration changes
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.
Apply
Click Apply to save your settings back to the BIPAC 5100S.
Cancel
