UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from
this session.
Auto-Configured (by UPnP Application): UPnP network devices can automatically
configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices
and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. Choose “Activated” option
to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the ADSL Router so that they
can communicate through the ADSL Router, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP
applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another

UPP enabled application. If you don’t want to make configuration changes through UPnP,
just choose “Deactivated”.
SAVE: Click SAVE to save the setting to the ADSL Router.
