UPnP

UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked

devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain

an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices.

DHCP and DNS service can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows supported

devices to leave a network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other devices on the

network. UPnP is a protocol supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, Firewire, phone

line, and power line networking.

To enable UPnP for any available connection, click the
