NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router Quick Start

The following Quick Start pages are intended to be used by an advanced user to quickly
configure the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router. It assumes that you are familiar with
Networking and that you already have a Cable or ADSL modem with an Ethernet port. If you
need further explanation, please refer to the more detailed sections of this document. This guide
presumes that your NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router is set to factory defaults (See
Resetting on previous page if required).

One page setup for Telstra Bigpond Cable

1. Connect your computer to one of the four LAN ports on the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall
Router and ensure you have a link. Connect your Cable modem (supplied by your ISP) to
the WAN port of the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router.
2. Set the Network Card of your computer to use DHCP or assign it an IP address in the range
of 192.168.1.2 ~ 254.
3. Open a web browser (ensuring that it is set to access the Internet via the LAN, not by a dial-
up networking account). Browse to the NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router's default IP
(192.168.1.1). The main menu of the router should open displaying the "One Page Setup".
Note: You may be prompted for a log-in, there is no User Name and the Password is
"admin".
4. Change your "WAN Connection Type" to "Heartbeat (E.g. Telstra cable)".
5. Set your "User Name" and "Password" as provided by your ISP.
6. If you wish to make services available to external Internet users, even when you are not
using Internet services from inside your network, you can choose "Keep Alive".
Alternatively for extra security you can choose "Connect on Demand".
7. Click "Apply". Your NetComm Cable/DSL Firewall Router will attempt to use your settings
to connect to your ISP. You can check the results on the "Status Monitor" page.
