Using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
PCs with
UPnP
(Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and automat-
ically use services offered in the network.
Note:
The operating system Windows ME, Windows XP or Windows Vista must run on the
PC. Check, if the UPnP function has been installed on the PCs operating system. Maybe
you have to install the UPnP components retroactively. Please consult the operating
instructions of your PC.
As soon as you have installed UPnP on a PC operating system and activated it on the
router, applications on this PC (e.g. Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via the
Internet without you needing to expressly authorise it. In this case, the router automat-
ically implements port forwarding
communication via the Internet.
The task bar on the PC on which UPnP is installed contains an icon for the Gigaset SX761
dsl. Click this icon to open the user interface. On Windows XP system, this icon is also
shown under network connections.
ì
In the Advanced Settings menu, select: Internet – Internet Connection
ì
Click UPnP.
Note:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use
PC. This poses a security risk.
