3.11 UPnP
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility
among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. The WV202 is an UPnP enabled router and will
only work with other UPnP devices/softwares. If you do not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be
disabled by canceling the “Enable” item..
UPnP is architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of PCs and intelligent devices or
appliances, particularly within the home. UPnP builds on Internet standards and technologies, such as
TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML, to enable these devices to automatically connect with one another and work
together to make networking - particularly home networking - possible for more people.
The UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) is an “edge” interconnect device between a residential Local
Area Network (LAN) and the Wide Area Network (WAN), providing connective to the Internet.
With UPnP support, the MSN message can communicate over NAT. In other words, the user of the
windows Massager behind the firewall/NAT device will be able to connect the peer for voice and video
conferencing.
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play). Network architecture based on TCP/IP and intended to allow
terminals to be networked without the need for configuration. In the Barricade router, for example, the
correct ports are automatically opened for applications like Net meeting, online games, etc. You can
choose to enable or disable the UPnP Service.
