5.8 UPnP Overview

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A 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.

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional
configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.

Windows ME and Windows XP support UPnP. See the Microsoft website for information about
other Microsoft operating systems.

Make sure you apply Microsoft’s UPnP security patch before enabling the

UPnP feature. Refer to the Microsoft website.
