Using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
PCs with
UPnP
(Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and automat-
ically use services offered in the network.
As soon as you have installed UPnP in the operating system of a PC and activated it on
the router, applications on this PC (e.g. Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via the
Internet without you needing to expressly authorise it. In this case, the router automat-
ically implements port forwarding (
Port forwarding,
see page 65), thereby facilitating
communication via the Internet.
The task bar on the PC on which UPnP is installed contains an icon for the Gigaset SE555
WLAN dsl. In systems with Windows XP, the icon is also shown under network connec-
tions. Click this icon to open the user interface of the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl.

Note:
The PC must have Windows ME or Windows XP as its operating system. Check whether
the UPnP function has been installed in the PC's operating system. It may be necessary
to retrospectively install the UPnP components, even on systems with Windows XP or
Windows ME. Please consult your PC's user guide.
Please note:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use ports on
a PC. This poses a security risk.
