NB1300 ADSL Modem
Ethernet Modem (Bridge) Configuration
Before continuing, ensure you have the following items and information ready:
■
A computer with a Network Interface Card installed or a router (such as the NetComm
NB3100).
■
A Crossover UTP cable.
■
A telephone line with ADSL service enabled.
■
User Name, Password, VPI, VCI, encapsulation and DNS server settings for your ADSL
account (ask your ISP if unsure). These are not needed for the NB1300, but are required for
the computer or router that it will be connected to.
Note:
The following procedure presumes your NB1300 is set to a factory default IP
address 192.168.1.1.
Step 1: Connecting your computer to the NB1300
■
Using a Crossover network cable, connect the Ethernet port of the NB1300 into the Ethernet
port of the computer you wish to use to configure the unit.
■
Connect the power and switch the NB1300 on.
■
Ensure the LAN link on the NB1300 is active.
■
Configure your Computer to use any IP address in the range of 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254.
Note:
When the NB1300 is used in Bridge mode it is a fairly passive device and most
Internet configuration required (such as User Name, Password, etc.) is done on the
computer or another router.
