Netcom NB9W manual Establishing an Adsl connection via PPPoE

2. Establishing an ADSL connection via PPPoE

Having physically connected your NB9/NB9W, the next step is to establish your ADSL connection to the Internet, via your ISP.

Nearly all Australian ISPs connect their clients via a standard method called PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). Your NB9/NB9W has a ‘Quick Setup’ page configured for easy access via PPPoE, so all you need to do is enter the Username and Password issued by your ISP, click the ‘Save & Reboot’ button and connection will follow. This sequence will be explained here.

Note: If you are not using a PPPoE connection type, please consult the User Guide (on CD) for details on changing your connection type. If unsure, follow the steps in this section first.

At this point you must have your NB9/NB9W connected according to Section 5.1, with your PC connected to the NB9/NB9W via Ethernet cable (or wireless link for NB9W only). You must also have your ISP-supplied username and password on hand.

1.For Windows users, insert the accompanying CD into your CD-ROM drive. An autorun screen should appear. Click the ‘Configure NB9/NB9W’ button;

Note: If you do not have a CD-ROM or are running a non-Windows OS, you can access the NB9/NB9W Configuration page by opening a web browser and entering http://192.168.1.1 into the Address / Location field. If you are not able to access the login screen by this means, go to the section titled ‘Computer Hardware Configuration’ in the User Guide (on CD) for instructions and come back here when this is completed. Otherwise, proceed to next.

2.Enter the username ‘admin’ and password ‘admin’ and click ‘OK’;
