2. 23. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device
and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices in both sides of
NAT device can freely communicate with each other, thus realizing the seamless connection of the network. You may need to
enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication
(such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Note:
1. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
2. UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of operating system
need to install the UPnP components).
For
example
: When you connect your Xbox to your Touch P5 which has connected to the Internet to play online games,
UPnP will send request to your Touch P5 to open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT
to transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.
XBOX

INTERNET
