4.1.6 UPnP
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an
UPnP enabled Network Camera. If your operating system is UPnP enabled, the device will
automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to “My Network Places.” If you do
not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled.
In addition, this device also provides UPnP IGD function for NAT traversal easily. Use NAT
traversal when your device is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it
available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly
configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router will be forwarded to
the device.
