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.
