UPnP
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility
among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP enabled Video Server. If
your operating system is UPnP enabled, the device will automatically be detected and a new icon will be
added to “My Network Places.” If you do not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled.
In addition, this device also provides UPnP IGD function for NAT traversal easily. Use NAT traversal when
your device is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a
NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router
will be forwarded to the device.
 UPnP: To enable or disable the UPnP service.
 Friendly Name: Shows the friendly name of this device.

UPnP NAT Traversal: When enabled, the device will attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router
on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the NAT router first.

Port Range: The port range which will be opened in NAT router.

External IP address: Show the IP address and port for WAN access through Internet. If NAT traversal is
configured successfully, user can use this IP address and port to access this device. The external IP
address is not shown in case NAT traversal function is failed.
