Using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
PCs with 

 (Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and automat-

ically use services offered on the network.

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 (

Port Forwarding,

 see page 91), thereby facilitating 

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. 

ì

In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select Internet Connection.

ì

Select UPnP.

ì

Click on OK to apply the settings.

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.

Please remember:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use 

 on 

a PC. This can be a security risk.
