![Chapter 13 ApplicationsNBG6617 User’s Guide12713.8 Technical ReferenceThe following section contains additional technical information about the NBG6617 features described in this chapter.Customizing Keyword Blocking URL CheckingYou 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 CheckingBy default, the NBG6617 checks the URL’s domain name or IP address when performing keyword blocking.This means that the NBG6617 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 CheckingFull path URL checking has the NBG6617 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 CheckingFilename URL checking has the NBG6617 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.One Connect Compatible DevicesAutomatically Update AP/Repeater Wi-Fi SettingsSelect Enable to allow the NBG6617 to automatically update the wireless settings on the APs or wireless repeaters (which also support ZyXEL One Connect) in its network. Select Disable to turn this feature off if you want to have the APs or repeaters in the network use different wireless settings.Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6617.Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.Table 53 Expert Mode > Applications > ONE Connect LABEL DESCRIPTION](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/NBG6617.User-Manual-Part-2-99-105-pdf/User-Guide-3078003-Page-29.png)

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 mappingsWindows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP. See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT.Cautions with UPnPThe 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 NBG6617 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.](https://usermanual.wiki/ZyXEL-Communications/NBG6617.User-Manual-Part-2-99-105-pdf/User-Guide-3078003-Page-30.png)
