UPnP

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

The following operating systems support UPnP:



Windows 7



Windows Vista



Windows XP

UPnP and the Technicolor Gateway

UPnP offers you the following functions:



You can access the

Technicolor Gateway GUI

without having to remember the address of the Technicolor Gateway. For

more information, see

“8.1.1 Accessing Your Technicolor Gateway via UPnP” on page 61

.



If you are using a PPP connection to connect to the Internet, you can enable/disable your Internet connection without

having to open the

Technicolor Gateway GUI

.

For more information, see

“8.1.2 Managing your Internet connection via UPnP” on page 62

.



You do not have to manually create port mappings to run services on a computer. The automatic port configuration

mechanism for UPnP-enabled games and applications will do this for you. If the application is UPnP-enabled, UPnP will

create these entries automatically. For more information, see

“8.2 Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer” on

page 67

.

If your computer is running Windows XP, you first have to install the UPnP component. For more information, see

“8.1.4 Installing UPnP on Windows XP” on page 65
