Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG
network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely
browse the Internet and download files.

1.4.2 VMG's USB Support

The USB port of the VMG is used for file-sharing and media server.
Cellular WAN Backup
Connect a cellular USB dongle with an active SIM card to the USB port. This adds a second WAN
interface and allows the VMG to wirelessly access the Internet via a cellular network. The cellular WAN
connection is the failover or a backup in case the DSL connection fails.
To set up a cellular connection, click Network Setting > Broadband > Cellular Backup.
To update the supported cellular USB dongle list, download the latest WWAN package from the Zyxel
website and upload it to the VMG using the Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade screen.

File Sharing

Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files on a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (B). Use FTP to access
the files on the USB device.

Media Server

You can also use the VMG as a media server. This lets anyone on your network play video, music, and
photos from a USB device (B) connected to the VMG's USB port (without having to copy them to
another computer).
