What is Upnp?

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and corporate environments. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication standards.

Upnp does not requiere to setup any complicated shares to other PC's or NAS Drives. Just connect your Dbox to your home Network and setup your Network Settings
