Remote Management
This chapter provides information on the Remote Management screens.
16.1 Remote Management Overview
Remote management allows you to determine which services/protocols can access which
NBG318S interface (if any) from which computers.
When you configure remote management to allow management from the
WAN, you still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access. See the firewall
chapters for details on configuring firewall rules.
You may manage your NBG318S from a remote location via:
•
Internet (WAN only)
•
ALL (LAN and WAN)
•
LAN only
•
Neither (Disable).
When you choose WAN or LAN & WAN, you still need to configure a firewall
rule to allow access.
To disable remote management of a service, select Disable in the corresponding Server
Access field.
You may only have one remote management session running at a time. The NBG318S
automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another
remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of
remote management sessions are as follows.
1 Telnet
2 HTTP
16.1.1 Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
NBG318S User’s Guide
165
Chapter 16 Remote Management
1 You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
2 The IP address in the Secured Client IP Address field does not match the client IP
address. If it does not match, the NBG318S will disconnect the session immediately.
3 There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority
running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time.
4 There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
16.1.2 Remote Management and NAT
When NAT is enabled:
• Use the NBG318S’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.
• Use the NBG318S’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
16.1.3 System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds).
The NBG318S automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer
than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is
polling. You can change the timeout period in the System screen
16.2 WWW Screen
To change your NBG318S’s World Wide Web settings, click Management > Remote
MGMT to display the WWW screen.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
This chapter introduces the UPnP feature in the web configurator.
17.1 Introducing Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP
for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other
devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically
when it is no longer in use.
See Section 17.3 on page 172 for configuration instructions.
17.1.1 How do I know if I'm using 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.
17.1.2 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.
17.1.3 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.
NBG318S User’s Guide
171
Chapter 17 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For
security reasons, the NBG318S 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.
17.2 UPnP and ZyXEL
ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP™
Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports Internet Gateway Device
(IGD) 1.0.
See the following sections for examples of installing and using UPnP.
17.3 UPnP Screen
Click the Management > UPnP to display the UPnP screen.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Enable the Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP) Feature
Select this check box to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could
use a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen
without entering the NBG318S's IP address (although you must still
enter the password to access the web configurator).
Allow users to make
configuration changes
through UPnP
Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to
automatically configure the NBG318S so that they can communicate
through the NBG318S, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP
applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to
communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the
need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled
application.
Allow UPnP to pass through
Firewall
Select this check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled applications to
bypass the firewall.
Clear this check box to have the firewall block all UPnP application
packets (for example, MSN packets).

23.6 HomePlug AV Troubleshooting
I cannot start my power line device.
Check your power supply is working. Power line adapters operate from the power supplied by
your home wiring and cannot operate without a working power supply. Remove the power line
adapter from the outlet. Then connect an electrical device that you know works into the same
power outlet. This checks the status of the power outlet.
I cannot access my power line network.
1 Make sure that the network password is the same on all the power line adapters in your
network.
2 Check the DAK and MAC address for all power line adapters are typed correctly.
3 Make sure that all your power line adapters are HomePlug AV. Check the package it
came in or ask your vendor. This NBG318S can not detect earlier versions of HomePlug
power line adapters such as HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1. (Although they can coexist on the
same electrical wiring without interfering with each other.)
4 Make sure that the devices on your network are all on the same electrical wiring.
Connect another power line adapter into an outlet close to your NBG318S’s power
outlet. They are probably now on the same electrical wiring. Check the Link
LED. If
it now lights up your power line adapter was probably previously on separate electrical
wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on the electrical wiring in your building.
5 Check you do not have a power meter between power line adapters. Power line signals
cannot pass this.
The signal on my power line network may be weak for the following reasons.
1 Your power line adapters may be connected to electrical surge protectors. Connect them
to standard power outlets.
2 Your power line adapters may be located close to large appliances such as refrigerators
or air-conditioners that cause interference with the power line signal. Move the adapters
further away from such appliances to reduce interference.
3 Your power line adapters may be placed close to electrical devices such as electrical
insect-killers which produce radio waves. These may interfere with the power line
signals. Move the adapters further away from such electrical devices.
4 Your wiring may be old and/or low quality or with a long wiring path.

the NBG318S wirelessly. IEEE 802.11g clients can connect using the
super G function. Enable wireless security (WEP, WPA(2), WPA(2)PSK) and/or MAC filtering to protect your wireless network.
Note: The NBG318S may be prone to RF (Radio
Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices
such as microwave ovens, wireless phones,
Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.
Powerline Functionality
The HomePlug AV standard specifies how network devices
communicate using standard electrical wiring.
It supports a data transfer rate of up to 200Mbps.
Data is encrypted using 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
HomePlug AV compatible devices co-exist with HomePlug 1.0 devices
but do not detect each other.
The range of a HomePlug AV network is 300 meters/984 feet in optimal
conditions.
HomePlug AV is compatible with all OSs
Maximum number of powerline devices on a single network is 16.
Firmware Upgrade
Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and
use the web configurator, an FTP or a TFTP tool to put it on the
NBG318S.
Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!

Configuration Backup &
Restoration
Make a copy of the NBG318S’s configuration and put it back on the
NBG318S later if you decide you want to revert back to an earlier
configuration.
Network Address
Translation (NAT)
Each computer on your network must have its own unique IP address.
Use NAT to convert a single public IP address to multiple private IP
addresses for the computers on your network.
Firewall
You can configure firewall on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet
access. When the firewall is on, by default, all incoming traffic from the
Internet to your network is blocked unless it is initiated from your
network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are
not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files
for example.
Content Filter
The NBG318S 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 NBG318S to check web sites against an external database.
