5.1 Universal Plug and Play
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 Web Interface without having to open the Thomson Gateway Web
Interface. For more information, see Accessing Your Thomson Gateway with UPnP.
> Connect/disconnect without having to open the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.
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
information, see “5.1.4 Installing UPnP on Windows XP” on page 33.
