UPnP
UPnP is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications.
Your computer will use UPnP to communicate to the Thomson Gateway which services are running on the
computer.
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 Thomson Gateway.
For more information on UPnP, see “9.1 UPnP” on page 80.
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 Thomson Gateway
that if it receives requests for a specific game or application, it has to forward these messages to a specific
computer.
Proceed as follows to do so:
1 Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
For more information, see
“4.1 Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 50
.
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 the computer. For example, HTTP
Server (World Wide Web).
5 In the Device list, select the computer to which you want to assign the service. Your computer will be
listed with its computer name.
6 All incoming requests for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The Thomson
Gateway will also configure its firewall to allow this service.
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 Thomson Gateway GUI.
