8.5 The UPnP Screen

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.

See page 116 for more information on UPnP.

Use the following screen to enable or disable the UPnP function on your AMG1312-T Series. Click Network Setting > Home Networking > UPnP to display the screen shown next.
