share USB-based devices such as printers, scanners, portable hard disks, MP3 players, faxes, and 
digital cameras (to name a few) with all the other people in your home or office as long as they are 
connected to the NBG4615 and have the ZyXEL NetUSB Share Center Utility installed.
Note: Be sure to install the ZyXEL NetUSB Share Center Utility (for NetUSB functionality) 
from the included disc, or download the latest version from the zyxel.com website.
