You can also use the workgroup name to access files by browsing to the workgroup folder using the

folder tree on the left side of the screen. It is located under

My Network Places

. In this example

the workgroup name is the default “Workgroup”.

Use FTP to Share Files

You can use FTP to access the USB storage devices connected to the NBG6817. In this example, we

use the web browser to share files via FTP from the LAN. The way or screen you log into the FTP

server (on the NBG6817) varies depending on your FTP client. See your FTP client documentation

for more information.

You should have enabled file sharing and create a user account (Bob/1234 for example) with read

and write access to USB 1 in the

ONE Connect Screen

One Connect is a ZyXEL-proprietary feature. It complies with the IEEE 1905.1 standard and allows

auto-detection and auto-configuration.

If your wireless router supports ZyXEL ONE Connect, NBG6817 for example, you can download and

install the ZyXEL ONE Connect App in your mobile device to check the connection status, do speed

test, turn on or turn off the devices in your network, block or allow a device’s access and set up a

guest Wi-Fi network from the mobile device. You can even use the App to access the NBG6817’s

web configurator. The mobile device with the App installed must be connected to the NBG6817

wirelessly.

Note: You have to go to https://mycloud.zyxel.com and pair your device again when you

reset the NBG6817.

Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG6817 features

described in this chapter.

Customizing Keyword Blocking URL Checking

You can use commands to set how much of a website’s URL the content filter is to check for

keyword blocking. See the appendices for information on how to access and use the command

interpreter.

Domain Name or IP Address URL Checking

By default, the NBG6817 checks the URL’s domain name or IP address when performing keyword

blocking.

This means that the NBG6817 checks the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.

For example, with the URL

www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php

, content filtering only searches

for keywords within

www.zyxel.com.tw

.

Full Path URL Checking

Full path URL checking has the NBG6817 check the characters that come before the last slash in the

URL.

For example, with the URL

www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php

, full path URL checking

searches for keywords within

www.zyxel.com.tw/news/

.

Use the

ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 6 [disable | enable]

command to extend (or

not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's full path.

File Name URL Checking

Filename URL checking has the NBG6817 check all of the characters in the URL.

For example, filename URL checking searches for keywords within the URL

www.zyxel.com.tw/

news/pressroom.php

.

NAT Traversal

UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP

network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the

network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions.

NAT traversal allows the following:

•

Dynamic port mapping

•

Learning public IP addresses

•

Assigning lease times to mappings

Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.

See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT.

Cautions with UPnP

The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening

firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also

be obtained and modified by users in some network environments.

When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For

security reasons, the NBG6817 allows multicast messages on the LAN only.

All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration.

Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
