[. . . ] UPnP provides NAT-Traversal: UPnP aware applications on a PC will automatically create Hyper-NAT entries on the SpeedTouchTM for incoming traffic on the protocol ports this type of traffic needs. As a consequence these applications are able to traverse the SpeedTouchTM without the need for extra and manual configuration. UPnP is an architecture for transparent peer-to-peer connectivity of computers, intelligent appliances, and (wireless) devices. It enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications. For security reasons you are able to configure the UPnP policy towards Windows XP and UPnP aware applications and Operating Systems. In case you select the Use Extended Security check box, only limited UPnP operation between a host running MS Windows XP and the SpeedTouchTM is allowed: A local host is: NOT allowed to connect/disconnect the SpeedTouchTM Internet Gateway Device (IGD) connection. Allowed to add/delete Hyper-NAT entries only for its own IP address, not for other local hosts. If you clear the Use Extended Security check box, all UPnP- and IGD-based communication between any local host and the SpeedTouchTM is allowed. 44 E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0144 v1. 0 Chapter 4 SpeedTouchTM Web Interface Assign a game or application to a specific network device.
