communication between facilities. All the facilities connected to the internet can communicate without being
interrupted by gateway, so that communication in the internet can become more fluently, documents
transmission can become more convenient and internet applications which cannot be used before can be
operated. These are all the convenience brought by UPNP.
The Mediagate supports UPNP. Before using UPNP function, please make sure that connected computer

If not, please install a software or shared software that supports UPNP gateway protocol.
For example, connect the player to the family LAN, and then share multimedia documents in
Media Player
