Chapter 2: Hardware Installation & Setup
This chapter provides information about your NetComm NB2800 Router’s physical features
and gives step-by-step installation instructions.
2-1 Rear Panel & Connections
The following figure shows the rear view of the NetComm NB2800 Router and illustrates how
the cables connect to the interfaces on the rear panel.
■
Place the NetComm NB2800 Router on the optimum location.
■
Plug one end of the UTP cable into the WAN port, the other into the RJ45 Ethernet jack on
your ADSL or Cable modem.
■
Connect a computer, with a Network Interface Card installed, to one of the four LAN Ports
(not the Uplink port).
■
Connect the external power supply to the NetComm NB2800 Router.
■
The Uplink port is a crossed-over version of Port 4, so it cannot be used in conjunction with
Port 4. (i.e. use one or the other). The Uplink port can be used to connect to a standard
Port on another switch or hub.
■
The Reset button is used to reboot the device - press once quickly, or for clearing
configuration settings back to factory default values - press for 10 seconds.
