UPnP Standards and Your Wireless Base Station
The Microsoft Wireless Base Station adheres to the UPnP™ standards that are defined
by the Universal Plug and Play Forum. UPnP standards allow devices on the network to
communicate their capabilities to the base station by using a common vocabulary. This
makes setting up your wireless base station easier. UPnP standards also allow you to
use many programs (like instant messaging programs and multiplayer games) on your
network without having to go through a complicated configuration process.
