present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained

and modified by users in some network environments.

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional

configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.

UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.

See later sections for examples of installing UPnP in Windows XP and Windows Me as well as

an example of using UPnP in Windows.

11.2.1 Configuring UPnP

From the Site Map in the main menu, click UPnP under Advanced Setup to display the screen

shown next.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Enable the Universal

Plug and Play (UPnP)

Service

Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP

application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering the

BIPAC-5100/5100W's IP address (although you must still enter the password to

access the web configurator).

Allow users to make

configuration changes

through UPnP

Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically

configure the BIPAC-5100/5100W so that they can communicate through the

BIPAC-5100/5100W, 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-5100/5100W.

Cancel

Click Cancel to return to the previously saved settings.

11.3 Installing UPnP in Windows Example
