Changing the operation settings of
UPnP function
What is UPnP function?
UPnP is the acronym of Universal Plug and Play, a
mechanism where the UPnP-supported operating system
automatically detects UPnP-supported devices in the
network to facilitate mutual connection. The product
supports UPnP. Therefore, if your LAN has the product
installed, Windows PCs within the LAN can use the audio
chat of Windows Live Messenger and other features.
Note
• Note that not all of the functions provided by UPnP Forum
are supported by the UPnP function of the product.
• If the IP address assigned by the provider is a private IP
address, the Windows Live Messenger audio chat using the
UPnP function is not available.
• To configure the UPnP function in “Basic configuration page”,
you must register the connection provider in advance.
• If you have not registered the provider before starting software
such as Windows Live Messenger that requires the UPnP
environment, it may take some time to communicate with the
router. In this case, register the connection provider or stop
the UPnP function.
• If Windows Live Messenger is exited and started repeatedly,
or the UPnP function information becomes different between
the PC and the router after the router has been restarted or
the line has been disconnected, the connection may not be
established normally.
In this case, sign out Windows Live Messenger once with the
line connected, and then restart it. If you still cannot establish
the connection, restart the PC.
