9.1 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 MediaAccess Gateway
UPnP offers you the following functions:
You can access the
MediaAccess Gateway GUI
without having to remember the address of the MediaAccess Gateway.
For more information, see
“9.1.1 Accessing Your MediaAccess Gateway via UPnP” on page 85
.
If you are using a PPP connection to connect to the Internet, you can enable/disable your Internet connection without
having to open the
MediaAccess Gateway GUI
.
For more information, see
“9.1.2 Managing your Internet connection via UPnP” on page 86
.
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
“9.2 Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer” on
page 91
.
If your computer is running Windows XP, you first have to install the UPnP component. For more information, see
“9.1.4 Installing UPnP on Windows XP” on page 89
.
