Hiding Monarch HD from appearing as a UPnP
device on the network
The Monarch HD uses the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to
broadcast itself as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device. This means that it
will appear in Windows Explorer (not visible in Mac OS) as if it were a a printer,
external hard drive, or similar UPnP device.
This feature is enabled by default, and makes it easier to find the Monarch HD on
a network if you do not know the device IP address. However, for security
reasons you may not want the Monarch HD to appear on your network for
anyone to see. If so, you can disable SSDP to hide the Monarch HD from
appearing as a UPnP device.
