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.
