User’s Manual
4.2.5 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 Network Camera. 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.
