Introduction
This guide is supplied to help you connect your NB1300 ADSL Modem quickly to your
network or Windows computer.
If the NB1300 has already been used, we strongly recommend you reset and flush all settings of
the unit via the USB cable by pressing and holding the RESET button on the rear of the modem
for 10 seconds. Wait for the RDY light to begin pulsing before continuing.
Note: Please be aware that connection via USB is only supported in Windows 98SE,
Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. For Windows 95, NT, Linux and
Macintosh you should use the Ethernet port of your NB1300.
Which configuration is best?
Your NB1300 ADSL Modem can be connected and configured in various ways, below is a
description of the most common modes of operation.
Ethernet Gateway (Router) - This is when the NB1300 is connected to your network switch
or hub and shares the Internet connection to all computers on the network. The NB1300 will log
on to your ISP on behalf of your computers and it will shield your computers from direct
Internet attack by using Network address Translation (NAT).
Ethernet Modem (Bridge) - This is when you plug the modem directly into the Ethernet port
of just one computer or another router (via a cross over Ethernet cable) you then must run
Internet connection software (often supplied by your ISP) on the computer or second router to
establish a connection to the Internet. This method means that the computer or router connected
to the Ethernet port of the NB1300 is exposed to the Internet and is given a public IP address.
USB Gateway (Router) - If you do not have an Ethernet port on your computer you can use
your USB port like an Ethernet port to connect to the NB1300. This "simulated" Ethernet port
is only for connecting to the NB1300 and is only available for Windows 98SE, Windows 2000
and Windows XP. The NB1300 will log on to your ISP on behalf of your computer and it will
shield your computer from Internet attack by using NAT. Note that the USB cable is not
supplied with the NB1300.
If you wish to configure the NB1300 in a different way to the examples above you should
consult a Network Specialist for more information.
Note: We recommend you change your Router’s password from the factory default
before connecting it to a network or the Internet. Refer to the “Admin Password”
section in the “Security” Menu.
This unit should only be connected to the Telecommunications Network through a
line cord which meets the requirements of ACA TS008.

Do I need a Micro filter?
Micro filters are used to prevent common telephone equipment, such as phones, answering
machines and fax machines, from interfering with your ADSL service. If your ADSL enabled
phone line is being used with any other equipment other than your ADSL Modem then you will
need to use one Micro filter for each phone device.
Splitters may be installed when your ADSL line is installed or when your current phone line is
upgraded to ADSL. If your telephone line is already split you will not need to use a Microfilter
- check with your ADSL service provider if you are unsure.
Each micro filter is connected in-line with your telephone or fax machine so that all signals pass
through it. Telephones and/or facsimiles in other rooms that are using the same extension will
also require Microfilters. The following diagram gives an example of connecting your ADSL
Modem/Router using a Microfilter.
A suitable Microfilter can be purchased from NetComm or your Service Provider, if required.

Ethernet Gateway Configuration
Before continuing, ensure you have the following items and information ready:
I
A Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP client machine with a Network Interface Card
installed.
I
I
I
Either a Network Hub and two UTP cables OR one Crossover UTP cable.
A telephone line with ADSL service enabled.

account (ask your ISP if unsure) .
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
I
Using either a hub and two UTP cables, or just one crossover UTP cable, connect the
NB1300 Modem Router to your computer.
I
Connect one end of the ADSL phone line to the NB1300 ADSL Modem and the other end
to the wall socket.
I
I
I
Connect the power pack to the NB1300 ADSL Modem and switch on the power switch.
Ensure that there is a LAN link light on the NB1300.
Ensure that the computer you intend to use has an IP address in the same subnet as the
NB1300 ADSL Modem. (e.g. the NB1300’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
NB1300 will assign your computer a suitable IP address.
I
Ensure that your computer has a LAN link light.

Step 3: Configuring your Computer to use the NB1300
To use the NB1300 ADSL Modem to access the Internet, your computer must have an IP
Address that is in the same LAN subnet as the NB1300 ADSL Router and use the NB1300
ADSL Router’s IP address as its gateway.
Most applications call for the Primary and Secondary DNS server entries to be made on each
computer. These can be automatically assigned by another DHCP server or by enabling the
DHCP server on the NB1300 ADSL Modem, and entering the DNS values in the DNS section
of the NB1300.
The following example shows how a computer could be set up when the NB1300 ADSL
Modem is configured with no DHCP service for this example. The NB1300 ADSL Modem
would be set to a LAN IP Address (Gateway) of 192.168.1.1 with a Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0
Open the Control Panel and double click on the Network icon. Scroll down to select
TCP/IP-> Ethernet Card and click on the Properties button.
Your DNS numbers are
specific to your ISP and
should be notified along
with your User Name and
Password.
Note: When using Internet Explorer as a web
browser, click on the “Tools” menu and select
“Internet Options”. Select the “Connections”
tab and click on the “LAN Settings” button.
Tick the “Automatically detect settings”
checkbox and make sure the “Use a Proxy
server” checkbox is unchecked.

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
I
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.
I
I

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.

Step 3: Configuring your Computer/Router to use the NB1300
ISP Software Method
Install software on your computer (usually provided by your ISP) and enter a User Name and
Password. This software usually adds a PPP service to your computer.
Please refer to your ISP for more information on how to configure your software to work with
the NB1300 ADSL Modem when used as a bridge.
Second Router Method
If you are using a second router in conjunction with the NB1300 as a Bridge, you should unplug
the NB1300 from the computer and plug the NB1300 into the secondary router. Consult the
second router’s documentation for information on how to configure your user name and
password.
Note: Depending on the second router, you may need to use a “straight through” UTP
cable instead of a “crossover” UTP cable to join the NB1300 to the WAN port of the
other router.

the USB driver and prompt you to install it.
6. Once the driver is installed, it is configurable as a regular Ethernet adapter and will be set to
automatically accept an IP address from the NB1300. You can manually set its IP address to
any free address in the range of 192.168.1.2 –254 as required.
Note: You may be asked if you wish to continue with out a digital signature if so choose
YES to continue. This request may occur up to four (4) times depending on your
operating system.

Trouble Shooting
Resetting the NB1300 ADSL Modem
When the Ethernet cable cannot be used due to an unknown or inaccessible IP address, you will
need to reset the NB1300 ADSL Modem to its factory defaults. To reset the ADSL Modem to
its factory defaults, use a ballpoint pen to press and hold the RESET button for 10 seconds.
Wait 30 seconds for the NB1300 ADSL Modem to reboot. The NB1300 ADSL Modem will
now have the default settings, including its default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and default
passwords
