UPnP Control Point Software on Windows
ME/XP
This appendix provides instructions for configuring the UPnP on your computers to work with the
Wireless Gateway.
UPnP is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of intelligent appliances,
Wireless devices, and PCs of all form factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-
based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether in the home, in a small business,
public spaces, or attached to the Internet. UPnP is a distributed, open networking architecture that
leverages TCP/IP and the Web technologies to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to
control and data transfer among networked devices in the home, office, and public spaces.
UPnP is more than just a simple extension of the plug and play peripheral model. It is designed to
support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking, and automatic discovery for a breadth of device
categories from a wide range of vendors. This means a device can dynamically join a network,
obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other
devices. DHCP and DNS servers are optional and are used only if available on the network. Finally,
a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically without leaving any unwanted state
behind.
UPnP Control Point Software on Windows ME
To install the control point software on Windows ME:
1. In the Control Panel, select "Add/Remove Programs".
2. In the "Add/Remove Programs Properties" dialog box, select the "Windows Setup" tab. In the
"Components" list, double click on the "Communications" entry.
3. In the "Communications" dialog box, scroll down the "Components" list to display the UPnP entry.
Select the entry, click "OK".
4. Click "OK" to finish the "Add/Remove Programs" dialog.
5. Reboot your system.
Once you have installed the UPnP software and you have rebooted (and your network includes the
IGD system), you should be able to see the IGD controlled device on your network.
UPnP Control Point Software on Windows XP with Firewall
On Windows XP versions earlier than SP2, Firewall support is provided by the Windows XP Internet
Connection Firewall. You cannot use the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall support on a
system that you intend to use as a UPnP control point. If this feature is enabled, although the control
point system may display controlled devices in the list of network devices, the control point system
cannot participate in UPnP communication. (This restriction also applies to controlled devices
running on Windows XP systems earlier than SP2.)
On Windows XP SP2 and later, Firewall support is provided by Windows Firewall. Unlike earlier
versions, Windows XP SP2 can be used on a system that you intend to use as a UPnP control point.
