What this feature does
UPnP technology provides peer-to-peer device control for network devices. UPnP technology enables discovery and control of devices and services through standards-based protocols.
Information collected, processed or transmitted
Using the IP address that is provided by this feature in the discovery process, your computer can receive information from UPnP devices, including any changes in their status. If a UPnP device provides a uniform resource locator (URL), you can use a browser to access control features, information, or device-specific capabilities from the manufacturer.
Use of information
The information exchanged includes basic information about the devices and their services, and a URL that can be used to gather more information, such as device make, model, and serial number. Additionally, the information can include a list of devices and services, and URLs used for accessing features.
Choice and control
To allow or prevent discovery of UPnP devices on your network, you can enable or disable the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) discovery service in Windows. Before allowing UPnP devices to communicate on your network, we recommend that you verify that your network is secured. For example, if you use a cable modem to connect to the Internet, consider installing a router that isolates your area of the network from that of your neighbors. Or, if you have a wireless network, we recommend that you turn on a secure authentication service such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). For more information about helping to secure a wireless network, see Windows Help and Support.
