4.5.4 UPnP

Choose “Access ManagementUPnP”, you can configure the UPnP in the screen (shown in

Figure 4-33).

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 and automatically when it is no longer in

use. UPnP broadcasts are only allowed on the LAN.

Figure 4-33

¾ UPnP: Activate or Deactivate the UPnP function. Only when the function is activated, can the

UPnP take effect.

¾ Auto-Configure: If you activate the function, then the 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.
