and will only work with other UPnP devices/softwares. If you do not
want to use the UPnP Functionality, it can be disabled by selecting
“Disabled”.
VPN Pass-
Through
The device supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for
both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP Secu-

up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through
the device. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the
LAN.
