How does UPnP work?
UPnP networking technology provides automatic IP configuration and dynamic
discovery of devices added to a network. Services and capabilities offered by
networked devices, such as printing and file sharing, are available among each other
without bothersome network configuration. In the case of Network Cameras, you
will see Network Camera shortcuts at My Network Places.

IPv6
Enable IPv6:

be assigned a link-local IPv6 address accordingly.

Click this button to obtain the IPv6 information. If your IPv6
settings are successful, the IPv6 address list will be listed in the pop-up window.
