Once the upload and Luup restart are completed, use the ''Apps / Develop Apps /  Create Device'' page to create a new device for the gateway.  Enter D_TCPLighting1.xml in the Upnp Device Filename field and the IP of your gateway in the IP field. You may need to check the DHCP client table of your home router to find the IP address of the gateway.  Another way of getting the IP address is to open a command window on a PC that is on the same network as the lighting gateway, enter the command ping lighting and note the IP address that the lighting host name resolves to.
