NBG-419N User’s Guide 227
Content Filter The NBG-419N blocks or allows access to web sites that you
specify and blocks access to web sites with URLs that contain
keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and
days during which content filtering is enabled. You can also
include or exclude particular computers on your network from
content filtering.
You can also subscribe to category-based content filtering that
allows your NBG-419N to check web sites against an external
database.
Bandwidth Management You can efficiently manage traffic on your network by reserving
bandwidth and giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or
to particular computers.
Remote Management This allows you to decide whether a service (HTTP or FTP traffic
for example) from a computer on a network (LAN or WAN for
example) can access the NBG-419N.
Wireless LAN Scheduler You can schedule the times the Wireless LAN is enabled/
disabled.
Time and Date Get the current time and date from an external server when
you turn on your NBG-419N. You can also set the time
manually. These dates and times are then used in logs.
Port Forwarding If you have a server (mail or web server for example) on your
network, then use this feature to let people access it from the
Internet.
DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)
Use this feature to have the NBG-419N assign IP addresses, an
IP default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your
network.
Dynamic DNS Support With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can
use a fixed URL, www.zyxel.com for example, with a dynamic
IP address. You must register for this service with a Dynamic
DNS service provider.
IP Multicast IP Multicast is used to send traffic to a specific group of
computers. The NBG-419N supports versions 1 and 2 of IGMP
(Internet Group Management Protocol) used to join multicast
groups (see RFC 2236).
Logging Use logs for troubleshooting. You can view logs in the Web
Configurator.
PPPoE PPPoE mimics a dial-up Internet access connection.
PPTP Encapsulation Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables secure
transfer of data through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The
NBG-419N supports one PPTP connection at a time.
Universal Plug and Play

The NBG-419N can communicate with other UPnP enabled
devices in a network.
