Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure parental control, bandwidth management, USB media
sharing, UPnP and file sharing.
13.1.1
What You Can Do
•
Use the
Parental Control
screens to enable parental control, configure the parental control
rules and schedules, and send e-mail notifications. (
Section 13.2 on page 119
).
•
Use the
Bandwidth Management
screen to configure bandwidth management and the device
priority (
Section 13.3 on page 125
).
•
Use the
USB Media Sharing
screen to use the NBG6817 as a media server and allow DLNA-
compliant devices to play media files stored in the attached USB device (
Section 13.4 on page
128
).
•
Use the
UPnP
screen to enable UPnP on your NBG6817 (
Section 13.5 on page 130
).
•
Use the
File Sharing
screen to allow file sharing via the NBG6817 using Windows Explorer, the
workgroup name or FTP (
Section 13.6 on page 131
).
•
Use the
One Connect
screen to enable or disable Wi-Fi auto-configuration (
Section 13.7 on page
138
).
13.1.2
What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Keyword Blocking URL Checking
The NBG6817 checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately when
performing keyword blocking.
The URL’s domain name or IP address is the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.
For example, with the URL
www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php
, the domain name is
www.zyxel.com.tw
.
The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL
www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php
, the file path is
news/pressroom.php
.
Since the NBG6817 checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it will
not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL
www.zyxel.com.tw/news/
pressroom.php
, the NBG6817 would find “tw” in the domain name (
www.zyxel.com.tw)
. It would
also find “news” in the file path (
news/pressroom.php
) but it would not find “tw/news”.

DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics
companies that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files
stored on DLNA servers. The NBG6817 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream
files to DLNA-compliant media clients without any configuration.
Workgroup name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources
such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a
network.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing
feature on your NBG6817 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT)
and FAT32 file systems.
Windows/CIFS
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems
in order to share files across the network.
CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft
Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web
browsers, to open and share files across the Internet.
The NBG6817 uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS
compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the NBG6817. CIFS
protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to
your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility).
Samba
SMB is a client-server protocol used by Microsoft Windows systems for sharing files, printers, and
so on.
Samba is a free SMB server that runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems. It provides an
implementation of an SMB client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems.
File Transfer Protocol
This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the
Internet.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP
compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a
UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
13.1.3
Before You Begin
Make sure the NBG6817 is connected to your network and turned on.
1
Connect the USB device to one of the NBG6817’s USB ports.
2
The NBG6817 detects the USB device and makes its contents available for browsing. If you are
connecting a USB hard drive that comes with an external power supply, make sure it is connected
to an appropriate power source that is on.
Note: If your USB device cannot be detected by the NBG6817, see the troubleshooting
for suggestions.
13.2
Parental Control
Parental Control allows you to block specific URLs. You can also define time periods and days during
which the NBG6817 performs parental control on a specific user.
13.2.1
General Screen
Use this screen to enable parental control, view the parental control rules and schedules.
