Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an open industry
standard that uses Internet and Web protocols to enable
devices such as PCs, peripherals, intelligent appliances, and
wireless devices to be plugged into a network and
automatically know about each other.
UPnP is an architecture for pervasive peer- to- peer network
connectivity of PCs and intelligent devices or appliances.
UPnP builds on Internet standards and technologies, such as
TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML, to enable LAN devices to
automatically connect with one another and work together.
With UPnP, when a user plugs a device into the network, the
device will configure itself, acquire a TCP/IP address, and
use a discovery protocol based on the Internet's Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to announce its presence on the
network to other devices. UPnP devices use Extensible
Markup Language (XML) to establish a common language or
protocol negotiation, to talk to each other and determine
capabilities.
The E5810B has two options for Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP):
Option ON
The E5810B is configured as a UPnP device and provides
information to the network about itself via an XML
description when mounted to the network.
Option OFF
The E5810B is not UPnP capable and will not announce its
presence as a UPnP device when mounted to the network.
