Using the universal plug and play function

PCs with UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and

automatically use services offered on the network.

Once you have installed UPnP in a PC's operating sys tem and activated it on the router,

applications on that PC (e.g. Microsoft M essenger) can communicate over the Internet

without you having to specifically permit this. In this case the router p erforms automatic

Port Forwarding (see page88), thereby facilitating communication over the Internet.

Once you have activated UPnP on the router you will see an icon for your Gigaset SE505

dsl/cable on the task bar of the PC's on which UPnP is installed. Windows XP systems will

also include the icon under network connections. Clicking on this icon opens the

Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable's configuration screens.

To activate the router's UPnP function:

◆In the LAN menu, select UPnP.

◆Activate UPnP.

◆Click on APPLY.

◆Aktivieren Sie UPnP.

PC's on which a UPnP application is currently running and the por ts that are opened by

the application are entered in the UPnP Port Forwarding list.

◆ To view this list, select the Port Forwarding option on the Virtual server menu. The

list is displayed in then bottom half of the screen.

i

The PC must have Windows ME or Windows XP as its operating system.

Check whether the UPnP function has been installed in your PC's

operating system. It may be necessary to retrospectively in stall the UPnP

components even on Windows XP or Windows ME systems. Please

consult your PC's operating instructions.

iWhen the UPnP function is active, external system applications can assign

and use Ports on a PC. This may pose a security threat so you should

disable the UPnP function if you do not wish to use it.
