Enabling UPnP for Windows XP/Me

UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that

provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. The

DCS-2100

is a UPnP enabled Internet camera. If your operating system is UPnP

enabled, the device will be easier to configure. If you do not want to use the UPnP

functionality, it can be disabled by unchecking the Enabled DDNS checkbox in the

DDNS/UPnP settings page under “Advanced” in the configuration menu. Use the

following steps to enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) settings only if you are running

Windows XP/Me. If you are running Windows 98/2000, UPnP is not available.
