4 Getting the Most Out of Your Thomson Gateway

4.3Universal Plug and Play

Introduction

UPnP is designed to automate the installation and configuration of a (small) network as much as possible. This means that UPnP-capable devices can join and leave a network without any effort of a network administrator.

Supported Operating Systems

Following operating systems support UPnP:

Windows Vista

Windows XP

If your computer is running Windows XP, you first have to install the UPnP component. For more information, see “4.3.4 Installing UPnP on Windows XP” on page 51.

UPnP and the Thomson Gateway

With UPnP you can:

Access the Thomson Gateway Web Interface without having to open the Thomson Gateway Web Interface. For more information, see Accessing Your Thomson Gateway with UPnP.

Connect/disconnect without having to open the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.

For more information, see Managing your Internet connection with UPnP.

Automatic port configuration for UPnP-enabled games and applications. You do not have to create port to run services on a computer. If the application is UPnP-enabled, UPnP will create these entries automatically. For more information, see Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a computer.
