Link: UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) is a set of protocols that allows a PC to automatically dis-
cover other UPnP devices (anything from an internet gateway device to a light switch),
retrieve an XML description of the device and its services, control the device, and sub-
scribe to real-time event notification.
By default, UPnP is enabled on the Netopia Gateway.
For Windows XP users, the automatic discovery feature places an
icon representing the Netopia Gateway automatically in the “My
Network Places” folder. Double-clicking this icon opens the Gate-
way’s web UI.
PCs using UPnP can retrieve the Gateway’s WAN IP address, and automatically create NAT
port maps. This means that applications that support UPnP, and are used with a UPnP-
enabled Netopia Gateway, will not need application layer gateway support on the Netopia
Gateway to work through NAT.
You can disable UPnP, if you are not using any UPnP devices or applications.
