Overview Section
Connecting via USB or Ethernet?
The NB1300 can be connected via a USB cable or an Ethernet cable or both. The reason for this
is that the USB connection is simply an ehternet simulation, as far as your computer is
concerned the USB connection is an Ethernet connection, hence DHCP and other protocols will
work the same as for Ethernet.
Connecting your NB1300 ADSL Modem via Ethernet
1. Connect your NB1300 to either a computer directly or a network hub or siwtch using cat5
ethernet cables. You need to ensure you are using the correct type of etherent cable - ie
straight through or crossover.
2. Connect the power pack to the NB1300 ADSL Modem and switch on the power switch.
3. Ensure that there is a LAN link light on the NB1300.
4. Ensure that the computer you intend to use has an IP address in the same subnet as the
NB1300 ADSL Modem. (e.g. the NB1300’s default IP is 192.168.1.1 - your computer
should be on 192.168.1.100 or similar.) If you have DHCP enabled on your computer, the
NB1300 will assign your computer a suitable IP address.
5. Ensure that your computer has a LAN link light.
6. Connect one end of the ADSL phone line to the NB1300 ADSL Modem and the other end
to the wall socket.
