UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
Microsoft UPnP allows the Gateway to communicate directly with certain pages operating systems to trade
information about the special needs of certain applications (such as messaging programs and interactive
games) as well as provide information about other devices on the network. This communication between the
operating system and Gateway greatly reduces the amount of manual configuration required to use new
applications and devices.
Only certain versions of pages XP and computer support the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) function. Before
