`
`UPnP n. Acronym for Universal Plug and Play. A
`Microsoft initiative which prompted the creation of the
`UPnP Forum for interconnecting computers, appliances,
`networks, and services. UPnP extends conventional Plug
`and Play to include devices connected to networks. It
`allows peripheral devices to discover and connect to other
`devices and to enumerate the characteristics of those
`devices. UPnP is intended to be an element of home net-
`
`working, in which PCs, appliances, and the services they
`provide are linked together.
`
`UPnP Device Architecture 11. A specification developed
`by the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Forum that defines
`the structure of UPnP networking. The UPnP Device
`Architecture, formerly known as the DCP Framework,
`provides information about discovery, description, control,
`eventing, and presentation in a UPnP network. See also
`UPnP networking.
`
`UPnP Forum 11. A consortium of companies and individ-
`uals that oversees Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) specifi-
`cations, protocols, logos, sample implementations, test
`suites, white papers, and other UPnP-related efforts. See
`also UPnP, UPnP Device Architecture, UPnP networking.
`
`UPnP networking n. The peer—to-peer networking of
`intelligent machines, appliances, wireless devices, comput-
`ers, and other devices according to the Universal Plug and
`Play (UPnP) Device Architecture. UPnP networking uses
`control points, devices, services, and protocols including
`GENA, SOAP, SSDP, standard TCP/IP, and other Internet
`protocols. See also UPnP Device Architecture.

`
`upstreamz adj. 1. The location ofa server in relation to
`another server. Compare downstreamz (definition 1)_
`2. The direction in which data movesfrom an individual
`computer to the remote network. With certain communica
`tions technologies, such as ADSL, cable modems, and
`high—speed 56-Kbps modems, data flows upstream more
`slowly than downstream. For cmrriplc. :: 56!-i‘;il|71\'.l]1{':‘|L.H.|

`
`upward-compatible adj. Of, pertaining to, or characteris.

`perform adequately with other products that are expected
`to become widely used in the foreseeable future. The use
`of standards and conventions makes upward compatibility
`easier to achieve.
`
`urban legend n. A widely distributed story that remains
`in circulation in spite of the fact that it is not true. Many
`urban legends have been floating around the Internet and
`other online services for years, including the request for

`ered and grown up), the cookie or cake recipe that cost
`$250 (it’s a myth), and the Good Times or Penpal Greet-
`ings virus, which will infect your computer when you read
`an e-mail message (it does not exist). See also Good
`Times virus.

`URL :1. Acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. An
`address for a resource on the Internet. URLs are used by
`Web browsers to locate Internet resources. A URL speci-

`site), the name of the server on which the resource resides
`
`UPS n. Acronym for uninterruptible power supply. A
`device, connected between a computer (or other electronic
`equipment) and a power source (usually an outlet recepta-
`cle), that ensures that electrical flow to the computer is not
`interrupted because of a blackout and, in most cases, pro-
`tects the computer against potentially damaging events,
`such as power surges and brownouts. All UPS units are
`equipped with a battery and a loss-of-power sensor; if the
`sensor detects a loss of power, it switches over to the bat-
`tery so that the user has time to save his or her work and
`URN a. See Uniform Resource Name.
