As a consequence these applications are able to traverse the SpeedTouchTM without the need for extra and manual configuration. UPnP is an architecture for transparent peer-to-peer connectivity of computers, intelligent appliances, and (wireless) devices. It enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications. For security reasons you are able to configure the UPnP policy towards Windows XP and UPnP aware applications and Operating Systems.
