Overview
Connecting your NB1300Plus4
The NB1300Plus4 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.
Connecting your NB1300Plus4 ADSL Modem via Ethernet
1. Connect your NB1300Plus4 to either a computer directly or a network hub or switch using
cat5 ethernet cables. You need to ensure you are using the correct type of ethernet cable - i.e.
straight through or crossover.
2. Connect the power pack to the NB1300Plus4 ADSL Modem and switch on the power
switch.
3. Ensure that the connected port has a LAN led light on the NB1300Plus4.
4. Ensure that the computer you intend to use has an IP address in the same subnet as the
NB1300Plus4 ADSL Modem. (e.g. the NB1300Plus4’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 NB1300Plus4 will assign your computer a suitable IP address.
5. Ensure that your computer has a LAN link light.
6. Connect one end of the ADSL phone line to the NB1300Plus4 ADSL Modem and the other
end to the wall socket.
7. Additional network devices or computers can be connected to the remaining LAN ports.
