UPnP
This page is used to enable or disable the UPnP auto-discovery mechanism.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of protocols that allows devices to connect
seamlessly and simplifies the deployment of home and office networks. UPnP
achieves this by using UPnP device control protocols designed upon open,
Internet-based communication standards.
Note that only devices within the same broadcast domain can be discovered through
UPnP. When the Gateway is discovered by another device, a brief description of the
Gateway can be viewed, and the management interface can be accessed by
clicking on the Gateway icon.
For example, to access or manage the Gateway with the aid of UPnP under
Windows Vista, open the Network and Sharing Center, and enable Network
Discovery. Then click on the node representing your local network under the
Network Sharing Center. An entry for the Gateway will appear in the list of
discovered devices. Right click on the entry for the Gateway, and select “View
Device webpage” to access the Gateway’s web management interface, or select
“Properties” to display a list of device attributes advertised by the Gateway through
UPnP.
