3.5.8 UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses
TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. An UPnP
device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities
and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network
smoothly an automatically when it is no longer in use. UPnP broadcasts are only
allowed on the LAN.
How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (in Windows
XP & Windows ME). Each UPnP-compatible device that is installed on your network
will appear as a separate icon.
The UPnP settings can be viewed in the left navigation bar. The following are the
options available under UPnP, show as below.
