EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide

When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security 
reasons, the EMG6765-Q10A allows multicast messages on the LAN only.

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. 
Disable UPnP if this is not your intention. 

Use this screen to enable UPnP on your EMG6765-Q10A.

Click Management > UPnP to display the screen shown next.
