Saving Energy with Your Thomson Gateway
Code of Conduct v3
To prove its commitment to protect the environment, THOMSON has signed the Code of Conduct v3
(CoC v3), an agreement to reduce the power consumption of broadband devices.
It provides rules for the power consumption in:
±
Full power state:
This is the normal operation mode of the device, where all functionality is enabled.
±
Low power state:
When there is no user traffic on the device, the device should switch to low power mode. This is a state in
which devices are only allowed to use a limited amount of energy to be able to power its components
and respond to user activity.
Example:
Take the following example:
±
The user switches off his computer at 20:00.
±
There are no other devices connected to the Thomson Gateway.
The Thomson Gateway switches to low power mode. This results in a considerable drop in the overall power
consumption of the Thomson Gateway.
THOMSON power saving innovations
On top of the CoC v3 measures, THOMSON has developed the
Automatic Power Management
to further
reduce the power consumption.
Automatic Power Management
The Thomson Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
±
When there is no or low user activity, the Thomson Gateway
reduces the clock frequency of the central
processor
. The lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption.
±
Switch the wireless interface to a reduced power mode
in which the access point is available for
connection, but other functions are turned off. This is only possible if there are no devices connected to
the Thomson Gateway.

Saving Energy with Your Thomson Gateway
Example:
If we use the same example as in the previous section, you can see that the Thomson Gateway is now able to
further reduce the power consumption in periods where there is less action required from the Thomson
Gateway (for example: no wireless devices connected, low user traffic,...).
Zero Power Consumption
If you will not be using your Thomson Gateway for a longer time (for example: you are going on holiday), you
might consider to turn off the Thomson Gateway. This way no energy will be consumed at all.
Be aware that if you turn off the Thomson Gateway,
all services provided by it will not be available
. For
example:
±
No VoIP calls
You will no longer be able to make phone calls over the Internet. Your phone calls will automatically be
done via the traditional phone network (if available).
±
No Digital TV
If your set-top box is connected to your Thomson Gateway, he will no longer be able to connect to the
Internet.

Sharing Content on your Thomson Gateway
Introduction
The Thomson Gateway allows you to store your data on a centralised place in the network. This way you can
share your files with everyone that is connected to your network.
Requirements
Your USB storage device must be formatted as FAT32.
Connecting your USB storage device to the Thomson Gateway
Proceed as follows:
1
Plug your USB memory stick or external hard disk in (one of) the USB master port(s) of your Thomson
Gateway.
2
If you want to:
²
Share your files with other devices on the network (for example: a computer) proceed with
“5.1 Using the Network File Server” on page 34
.
²
Share your media with UPnP AV media clients (for example: a media player or media centre),
proceed with
“5.2 Using the UPnP AV Media Server” on page 37
.
²
Make your files available for FTP access, proceed with
“5.3 Using the FTP Server” on page 38
.
To format your device for FAT32, consult the help of your operating system. Make sure to make a
copy of your data before you doing this. Formatting your device will erase all data.
Do not remove your USB storage device without unmounting it first, otherwise data might be
lost! For more information, see
“5.5 Safely Removing your USB Storage Device” on page 42
.
