The

Game & Application Sharing Configure

page consists of the following components:

±

Universal Plug and Play:

This section allows you to enable/disable UPnP on your Thomson Gateway.

UPnP provides NAT-Traversal: UPnP aware applications on a computer will automatically create Hyper-

NAT entries on the Thomson Gateway for incoming traffic on the protocol ports this type of traffic needs.

As a consequence these applications are able to traverse the Thomson Gateway without the need for

extra and manual configuration.

To enable/disable UPnP, proceed as follows:

1

Select/clear the

Use UPnP

check box.

2

Click

Apply

.

±

This section allows you to:

²

Assign a game or application to a specific network device.

Proceed as follows:

UPnP is an architecture for transparent peer-to-peer connectivity of computers, intelligent

appliances, and (wireless) devices. It enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and

messaging applications.

Thomson Gateway GUI

Game or application definition

On the

Game or Application Definition Overview

page, you can find an overview of the port mappings used

to allow this game or application to be initiated from the Internet.

A game or application definition consists of one or more TCP/UDP port ranges. Each incoming port range can

be translated into a different internal (local network) port range. Port ranges can be statically assigned to

devices or dynamically assigned using an outgoing trigger.

The

Game or Application Definition

Configure

page allows you to:

Under

Game or Application Name:

±

Change the name of the game or application, proceed as follows:

1

Fill in the

New Name

field.

2

Click

Apply

.

Under

Game or Application Definition:

±

Add a port mapping, proceed as follows:

1

In the

Protocol

list, click the protocol the game or application uses.

Any

is the default value meaning

both UDP and TCP are used.

2

In the

Port Range

box, type the port range the game or application uses.

3

In the

Translate To

box, type the start port of the range to which the Thomson Gateway has to

translate the ports specified under

Port Range

. If you leave this box empty the same range is used as

for the

Port Range

.

Consult the user guide or support pages of your game or application to know which ports are being

used by this application.

The start port is mandatory. You can leave the end port blank when necessary. This

results in a port range equal to one port being the the start port number.

activate this translation rule. The mapping will be added dynamically in an internal

table of the device and will exist only for the lifetime of this connection.

It is not possible to edit/delete the game or application that has been assigned to a computer.

Always make sure that the assigned IP address is unique in the network.
