Connecting Your Nb5Plus4/W; Connecting Your Nb5Plus4/W Adsl Modem Via Ethernet - NetComm NB5Plus4 User Manual

Connecting your NB5Plus4/W

The NB5Plus4/W 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 ethernet 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.
To connect to your ADSL Router, you need to have either an Ethernet Port or a USB
Port present on your Computer/Notebook.

Connecting your NB5Plus4/W ADSL Modem via ETHERNET

1. Connect your NB5Plus4/W to either a computer directly or a network hub or
switch using CAT5 ethernet cables.
2. Connect the power pack to the ADSL Modem and switch on the power switch.
3. Ensure that there is a LAN link light on the NB5Plus4/W.
4. Ensure that the computer you intend to use has an IP address in the same
subnet as the NB5Plus4/W ADSL Modem. (e.g. the NB5Plus4/W'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 NB5Plus4/W will assign your com-
puter a suitable IP address.
5. Ensure that your computer has a LAN link light.

the other end to the wall socket.
