LABEL DESCRIPTION
UPnP Select Enable to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open
the web configurator's login screen without entering the GPON Device's IP address
(although you must still enter the password to access the web configurator).
UPnP NAT-T Select Enable to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the GPON
Device so that they can communicate through the GPON Device 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.
The table below displays the NAT port forwarding rules added automatically by UPnP NAT-T.
