4. Check with your ISP what Protocol your modem needs to use to connect to the Internet. If
unsure, leave the default selection of PPPoE.
5. In the User ID field, enter the Username that your ISP has provided. In the password field,
enter the password that your ISP has given you.
Note: If your ISP has provided you with Static addressing details you will need to ac-
cess the Advanced Settings of your modem to configure these. Please refer to
the section on Advanced Settings in the NB5 User Manual on the CD for instruc-

these unless your ISP has instructed you to do so.
7. Click on the Apply button to save the settings you have entered. The modem will auto-

Status light will change to green.

Internet application.

• ADSL Link light on your modem is solid green; If not, you do not have a connection
established with your local DSLAM. Please call your ISP who will assist in resolving
this.
• If you have a solid green light on your modem for the ADSL Link, check that the user-
name / password you entered are correct and try again;
• If the above two suggestions don’t resolve the issue, please contact your ISP;

settings, you can open a DOS prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and execute a con-
tinual ping command to a public server’s IP address on the Internet. Once you
receive a reply from the server you know that you are connected. This can take
up to 30 seconds. e.g: c:/ ping 210.0.111.111 -t
