For example, when you start a UPnP-enabled application on your computer, it will automatically create the necessary port
mappings on this computer and on the MediaAccess Gateway.
For more information on UPnP, see “7.1 UPnP” on page 64.
Assign a game or application to a local networking device
If you assign a game or application to a local networking device, you will basically tell the MediaAccess Gateway that if it
receives a request for a specific game or application, it needs to forward these messages to one specific computer.
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “Accessing the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 31.
2 On the Toolbox menu, click Game & Application Sharing.
3 In the Pick a task list, click Assign a game or application to a local network device.
4 In the Game or application list, click the service you want to run on this specific computer. For example, HTTP Server
(World Wide Web).
5 In the Device list, select the computer to which you want to assign the service.
6 All incoming requests for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The MediaAccess Gateway will
also configure its firewall to allow this service.
Tips
You can assign multiple services to the same computer
You cannot assign the same service to multiple computers.
To reassign a service to another computer, you must first unassign the old rule and then create the new one.
If the service is not available in the list, click Create a new game or application in the Pick a task list.
For more information, click Help on the MediaAccess Gateway GUI.
