Using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
PCs with
UPnP
(Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and automat-
ically use services offered on the network.
Please remember:
The PC must have Windows ME or Windows XP as its operating system. Check whether
the UPnP function has been installed in your PC's operating system. It may be neces-
sary to retrospectively install the UPnP components even on Windows XP or Windows
ME systems. Please consult your PC's operating instructions.
As soon as you have installed UPnP in the operating system of a PC and activated it on
the router, applications on this PC (e.g. Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via the
Internet without your needing to expressly authorise it. In this case, the router automat-
ically implements port forwarding
communication via the Internet.
You will see a symbol for your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable on the task bar on the PC
on which UPnP is installed. Windows XP systems will also include the icon under net-
work connections. Clicking on this icon opens the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's con-
figuration screens.

Please remember:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use
a PC. This can be a security risk.
