Install the NB-1300

The NB1300 can connect either directly to a desktop computer or to a network via hub, switch or another router. All
connections are made to the computers using an ethernet or USB cable.
•
Use straight-through cable for connecting to a normal port (MDI-X) on a hub or switch.
•
Use crossover cable for connecting direct to a PC, server, or uplink port (MDI-II) on a hub or switch.
•
Ensure the cable is not over 100 metres in length (or service degradation will result).
•
If using the USB cable, additional installation is required; see below.
All connections to the Internet are made over ordinary phone cabling. Use the cabling supplied with the router or use
your own. The service will work over ordinary phone extension cords and other phone socket appliances (double
adaptors, etc); however, any noise over or damage to the appliances may result in problems accessing the Internet
service.
1. Plug the power cord into the router and then into a power point.
2. The RDY light will go red while internal checks are done; once complete, it will go off. If it does not, there may
be some problems.
3. The power LED should light up green and stay lit.
4. Plug the phone cord into the "ADSL" port on the router and then into the plug servicing the DSL-enabled line. If
you have multiple lines, ensure you have the correct line!
5. The ADSL Port LED should blink green until it negotiates an ADSL connection, after which it will stay steady.
6. USB connection:
a. Place the supplied CD-ROM in your computer.
b. Connect the supplied USB cable to the modem and to a USB port on your computer
c. Windows should detect the new hardware. When prompted to search for drivers select "Specify
location".
d. Browse to the driver letter of your CD-ROM drive and locate the "USB driver" folder.
e. Click "OK". The Wizard will locate the USB driver and prompt you to install it.
f. Once the driver is installed, it is configurable as a regular ethernet adaptor and will be set to
automatically accept an IP address from your modem.
7. Ethernet connection:
