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 Thomson Gateway

With UPnP:

±

You can access the

Thomson Gateway GUI

without having to remember the address of the Thomson

Gateway. For more information, see

“7.1.1 Accessing Your Thomson Gateway with UPnP” on page 59

.

±

You can connect/disconnect without having to open the

Thomson Gateway GUI

.

For more information, see

“7.1.2 Managing your Internet connection with UPnP” on page 60

.

±

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

“7.2 Assigning

a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer” on page 64

.

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

information, see

“7.1.4 Installing UPnP on Windows XP” on page 62

.
