Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an architecture that allows for dynamic connectivity between devices
on a network. The goal of UPnP is to support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking of devices
including intelligent appliances, PCs, printers and other smart devices using standard protocols.
Using UPnP, devices can add themselves to a network dynamically, without requiring user intervention
or configuration. A UPnP-enabled device can obtain an IP address, advertise its capabilities, learn
about other connected UPnP devices, and then communicate directly with those devices. The same
device can end its connection cleanly when it wishes to leave the UPnP community.
Using the Device Discovery page, the Gateway can discover all UPnP-enabled devices on the network.
After making your selections, click the SAVE button to apply them.
