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

Following operating systems support UPnP:

±

Windows Vista

±

Windows XP

UPnP and the Thomson Gateway

With UPnP you can:

±

Access the

Thomson Gateway GUI

without opening your web browser. For more information, see

Accessing Your Thomson Gateway with UPnP

.

±

Connect/disconnect without having to open the

Thomson Gateway GUI

.

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

.

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