Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) can permit the device seamlessly discover the
presence of other network devices on the network and establish functional network
services for data sharing, communications, etc. You can use the UPnP™ function to
enable the fast connection of the device to the WAN via a router without port
mapping.
Before you start:
If you want to enable the UPnP™ function of the device, you must enable the UPnP™
function of the router to which your device is connected. When the network working
mode of the device is set as multi-address, the Default Route of the device should be
in the same network segment as that of the LAN IP address of the router.
