Universal Plug-and-Play is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among
networking equipment, software and peripherals. UPnP-enabled products can seamlessly
connect and communicate with other Universal Plug-and-Play enabled devices, without the
need for user configuration, centralized servers, or product-specific device drivers. This
technology leverages existing standards and technologies, including TCP/IP, HTTP 1.1
and XML, facilitating the incorporation of Universal Plug-and-Play capabilities into a wide
range of networked products for the home.
Universal Plug-and-Play technologies are rapidly adopted and integrated into widely-used
consumer products such as Windows XP. Therefore it is critical that today's Residential
Gateways be UPnP-compliant. Your MP-20x is at the forefront of this development, offering
a complete software platform for UPnP devices. This means that any UPnP-enabled
control point (client) can dynamically join the network, obtain an IP address and exchange
information about its capabilities and those of other computers on the network. They can
subsequently communicate with each other directly, thereby further enabling peer-to-peer
networking. And this all happens automatically, providing a truly zero-configuration
network.
