Section 5 - Advanced Network Conguration
UPnP Setup
Note: This feature is available only when the DCS-1000-VPN license is activated.
Path: Network > LAN > UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a feature that allows the controller to discover devices on the network that can
communicate with the controller and allow for auto-conguration. If a network device is detected by UPnP, the
controller can open internal or external ports for the trac protocol required by that network device. If disabled,
the controller will not allow for automatic device conguration and you may have to manually open/forward
ports to allow applications to work.
To congure the UPnP settings:
1. Click Network > LAN > UPnP.
2. Toggle Activate UPnP to On.
3. Select a LAN from the LAN Segment drop-down menu.
4. Enter a value for Advertisement Period. This is the frequency that the controller broadcasts UPnP
information over the network. A large value will minimize the network trac but cause delays in
identifying new UPnP devices to the network.
5. Enter a value for Advertisement Time to Live. This is the number of steps a packet is allowed to propagate
before being discarded. Small values will limit the UPnP broadcast range. A default of 4 is typical for
networks with a few number of switches.
6. Click Save.
7. Your entry will be displayed in the UPnP Port Map List. To edit or delete, right-click an entry and select
the action from the menu. Repeat steps 3-6 to add multiple entries.
