4 Getting the Most Out of Your Thomson Gateway
UPnP
UPnP is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications.
Your computer will use UPnP to communicate to the Thomson Gateway which services are running on the
computer.
For more information on UPnP, see “4.1Universal Plug and Play” on page 24.
Assign a game or application to a local networking device
If you assign a game or application to a local networking device, you will basically tell the Thomson Gateway
that if it receives requests for a specific game or application, it has to forward these messages to a specific
computer.
Proceed as follows to do so:
1Browse to the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.
2On the Toolbox menu, click Game & Application Sharing.
3In the Pick a task list, click Assign a game or application to a local network device.
4In the Game or application list, click the service you want to run on the computer. For example, HTTP
Server (World Wide Web).
5In the Device, list select the computer to which you want to assign the service. Your computer will be
listed with it’s computer name.
6All incoming request for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The Thomson
Gateway will also configure the Thomson Gateway firewall to allow this service.
If the service is not available in the list, click Create a new game or application in the Pick a task
list. For more information, click Help on the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.
