Universal Plug and Play Stack USB Software/PCI Software
Overview
| |||
|
Jungo provides a small footprint, high quality protocol stack
for Universal Plug and Play devices, including a set of
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), that enables device
manufacturers to quickly and easily incorporate UPnP™ support in
their devices. As a member of the UPnP™ Forum, Jungo is
committed to constantly maintaining certification and up-to-date
features of its stack for UPnP™ devices.

With the addition of Device Plug and Play (PnP) capabilities to
the operating system it became a great deal easier to setup,
configure, and add peripherals to a PC. UPnP™ extends this
simplicity to include the entire network, enabling discovery and
control of networked devices and services, such as
network-attached printers, Internet gateways, and consumer
electronics equipment.
UPnP™ is more than just a simple extension of the Plug and Play peripheral model. It is designed to support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking, and automatic discovery for a breadth of device categories from a wide range of vendors. With UPnP™, a device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices - all automatically, truly enabling zero configuration networks. Devices can subsequently communicate with each other directly, thereby further enabling peer to peer networking. The latest versions of Windows (including Windows Me and Windows XP) support UPnP™. However, devices (like internet gateways) that are required to communicate with other devices on the network via UPnP™ need to have an Universal Plug and Play Stack as part of their firmware. Using Jungo's Universal Plug and Play Stack, vendors can easily make their devices Universal Plug and Play compliant, allowing interoperability with Universal Plug and Play Control Points (such as Windows XP Personal Computers). |
