UPnP
To access UPnP, point to the
Network Tools
on the left window and click
UPnP
submenu, or click the
UPnP
button in the Network Tools window.
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, tick the
Enable UPnP
check box, and click the
Apply
button.
