9.7.1 Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug-and-Play is a networking architecture that provides compatibility
among networking equipment, software and peripherals. Watson can seamlessly
connect and communicate with other Universal Plug-and-Play enabled devices,
without the need for user configuration, centralized servers, or product-specific de-
vice drivers. This technology leverages existing standards and technologies, includ-
ing TCP/IP, HTTP 1.1 and XML, facilitating the incorporation of Universal Plug-and-
Play capabilities into a wide range of networked products. Any UPnP-enabled con-
trol point (client) can dynamically join the network, obtain an IP address and ex-
change information about its capabilities and those of other computers on the net-
work. They can subsequently communicate with each other directly, thereby further
enabling peer-to-peer networking. And this all happens automatically, providing a
truly zero-configuration network.
9.7.1.1 UPnP on Watson
If your computer is running an operating system that supports UPnP, such as Win-
dows XP, you can add the computer to your home network and access the Web-
based Management directly from within Windows.
To add a UPnP-enabled computer to the home network:
1. Connect the PC to the gateway.
2. The PC will automatically be recognized and added to the home network.
Watson will be added to 'My Network Places' as the Internet Gateway De-
vice and will allow configuration via a standard Windows interface.
3. A message appears on the notification area of the Taskbar notifying that the
PC has been added to the network.
To access the WBM directly from Windows:
1. Open the 'My Network Places' window by double-clicking its desktop icon.
