OpenRG
As more UPnP™ network devices are introduced, UPnP™-enabled residential/SOHO
gateways will undoubtedly capture a greater market share.
Jungo (a member of the UPnP™ Forum), has therefore developed a Universal Plug and Play software module for
residential and SOHO gateways.
The module allows broadband customer premise equipment (CPE) manufacturers
to design gateways that can be smoothly installed on a network with
UPnP™-enabled devices, without requiring users to configure any single
device, or the gateway itself.
With Jungo's Universal Plug and Play module installed in a residential/SOHO gateway,
a UPnP™-enabled device can dynamically join the network, obtain an
IP address and exchange information about its capabilities with other
devices on the network.
In addition, the module’s support for NAT Traversal
enables network-aware applications to automatically detect that they are
behind an Internet Gateway Device (IGD) and configure the gateway's port
mappings to forward packets from the external port of the NAT to the
internal port used by the application.
Jungo's Universal Plug and Play module is available as:
CPE manufacturers that choose to integrate the module as part of OpenRG also benefit from Jungo's additional
zero-configuration software components that ensure a complete "plug and
play" home networking experience for broadband users.
Universal Plug and Play is designed to ease networking in homes and small
offices by ensuring compatibility between multi-vendor networking equipment,
software and peripherals. The Universal Plug and Play standard enables any
two UPnP™-enabled devices to seamlessly connect and communicate with each
other over an IP network, under the command of any control device on the
same network.
Key Features
- Support for UPnP™ devices
- Automatic device discovery and integration
- Internet Gateway Device (IGD) protocol
- NAT Traversal support for automatic configuration of port mappings by network applications
- Gateway management through standard Windows interface
- Automatic device identification to retrieve manufacturer information
- Automatic device presentation through web interface
Screen 1: In Microsoft Windows XP, the OpenRG
gateway together with UPnP-enabled LAN PCs and
network devices are automatically displayed in the “My
Network Places” window. Clicking on the OpenRG
gateway icon automatically opens OpenRG’s web-based
management in the user’s browser.
Screen 2: Microsoft Windows XP allows the user to
configure the gateway port settings through a Windows
interface.
