NB5Plus4/W User Guide YML754Rev1 4 www.netcomm.com.au
Overview
Thank you for purchasing the NetComm NB5Plus4/W ADSL/ADSL2 Modem Router. NetComm brings you the Next Generation of ADSL technology with ADSL-2*, which boosts ADSL’s performance, improves interoperability, and supports new applica­tions, services and deployment conditions.
NetComm’s implementation of ADSL-2* and ADSL-2+* ensures that the NB5Plus4/ W operates with existing ADSL services while delivering optimal performance in all modes of operation. Powered by the latest ADSL-2* TI chipset, NetComm’s NB5Plus4/W increases downstream data rates by up to 50% (12Mbps) and 100% (25Mbps) for ADSL2 Plus* mode ensuring that you can surf the net or download
your les quicker than ever before.
Security is a key issue with Broadband users and NetComm’s NB5Plus4/W does not leave you exposed. Employing the latest Active Firewall technology, the NB5Plus4/ W checks every packet of data that comes in ensuring your defences are rock-solid against hackers, unauthorised entries, probes and even Denial of Service attacks.
What’s more, the NB5Plus4/W is equipped with a VPN pass-through feature allowing you to use a standard VPN client for Point-to-Point communication even while your
Firewall is active.
The NB5Plus4/W delivers the connection versatility needed to cater for today’s ADSL users. You can simply attach the NB5Plus4/W to a single PC by using the USB port or Ethernet port. Alternatively, should you wish to share your Internet connection,
the NB5Plus4/W is equipped with an in-built Router and four 10/100 Ethernet ports
for connection to a network. If you have the NB5Plus4W modem, you can share your Internet connection wirelessly.
The NB5Plus4/W’s Port Forwarding and UPnP functions have made it easier for
today’s Internet users to congure and setup the myriad of Network Port Rules needed by Internet applications such as On-Line Gaming, Peer-To-Peer le sharing and Messenger services to operate. NB5Plus4/W has a number of pre-congured
rules for several games, just click on the game you wish to play on-line and the rest is done for you.
Added to this, the NB5Plus4/W introduces a QoS (Quality of Service) feature that gives you control over which types of outgoing data are given priority by the router. With QoS you can tailor your router settings to ensure that you can keep gaming or browsing even though your upstream bandwidth may be saturated by applications
such as Peer-To-Peer le sharing.
* Your ISP must support and provide you with an ADSL-2 or ADSL-2+ service for these features to be available. This product will operate as a standard ADSL Modem Router when an ADSL-2 service is not available.
This reference manual assumes that the reader has an installed Ethernet card in the computer to be connected and has basic to intermediate computer and Internet skills. However, basic Computer Networking, Internet, and Firewall technology information is available from the NetComm Web site. See www.netcomm.com.au.

Do I need a Micro filter?
Micro lters 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 lter 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 Microlter - check with your ADSL service provider if you are unsure.
Each micro lter 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 Microlters. The following diagram gives an example of connecting your ADSL Modem/Router using a Microlter.

Restoring Factory Defaults
This feature will reset the Modem to its factory default conguration. Occasions may
present themselves where you need to restore the factory defaults on your modem. Typical situations are:
• You have lost your username and password and are unable to login to the mo-
dem.
• You have purchased the modem from someone else and need to recongure the
device to work with your ISP.
• You are asked to perform a factory reset by a member of the NetComm Support
staff.
In order to restore your modem to its factory default settings, please follow these steps:
• Ensure that your Modem is powered on (for at least 10 seconds).
• Use a paper clip or a pencil tip to depress the reset button for ten seconds and
release. At this point, the reset is in progress. Do not power off the unit at this point.
• When indicator lights return to steady green, reset is complete. The default set-
tings are now restored. The entire process takes about 45 seconds to complete.
• Once you have reset the modem to its default settings you will be able to access
the device's conguration web interface using http://192.168.1.1 with username
'admin' and password 'admin'.

NB5Plus4/W User Guide YML754Rev1 12 www.netcomm.com.au
Connecting your NB5Plus4/W
The NB5Plus4/W can be connected via a USB cable or an Ethernet cable or both. 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 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 NB5Plus4/W ADSL Modem and the other end to the wall socket.
YML754 Rev1 NB5Plus4/W User Guide www.netcomm.com.au 13
Connecting your NB5Plus4/W ADSL Modem via USB
1. Connect the power pack to the NB5Plus4/W ADSL Modem and switch on the power switch.
2. Connect your NB5Plus4/W to a computer directly via USB cable.

4. Follow the on-screen prompts to load the driver. Refer to the section below for more detailed information. (You may need to restart your computer).
5. Connect one end of the ADSL phone line to the NB5Plus4/W ADSL Modem and the other end to the wall socket.
Installing the USB driver (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP only)
When you install the USB driver on your computer it creates a Virtual Ethernet Adapter, which can be congured in the same way as a Network Interface card with
DHCP or static IP address. To install the USB driver please follow the steps below:
1. Boot your machine into Windows 98/Me/2000/XP.
2. Insert your NetComm NB5Plus4/W CD into your CD-ROM drive.
3. Plug power up to your NB5Plus4/W and switch ON.
4. Plug a USB cable from the back of the unit into a spare USB socket on your com­puter.
5. The Windows “Add New Hardware Wizard” should appear. Click Next to con­tinue.
6. Ensure the option “Search for the best driver….” is chosen and click Next.
7. Choose “Specify location”, untick any other boxes and click on the Browse but­ton. Open the CD-ROM drive location of your NetComm NB5Plus4/W CD and then select the ‘USBdriver’ folder. The USB driver will be installed.

Click on the LAN Conguration link under the Setup menu to congure your Local
Area Network settings.
Interfaces
This section displays the available interfaces on your modem that have yet to be
congured. The default setting is to have all interfaces in LAN group 1.
It is possible to have separate LAN groups:
• three if you have the NB5Plus4W:
i) USB;
ii) Ethernet;
iii) WLAN (Wireless LAN);
• two if you have the NB5Plus4:
i) USB;
ii) Ethernet;
LAN Groups
Conguring LAN Groups with static IP addresses must be done in such a way that
the range of assignable IP addresses in each of the LAN groups should not overlap with other LAN groups. A rule of thumb would be that each LAN group should be on its own network or subnet. For example, say you have 3 LAN groups each being
setup with static IP addressing. Below is a sample conguration:
LanGroup #1
IP Address 192.168.1.1 NetMask 255.255.255.0
LanGroup #2
IP Address 192.168.2.1 NetMask 255.255.255.0
NB5Plus4/W User Guide YML754Rev1 22 www.netcomm.com.au
LanGroup #3
IP Address 192.168.3.1 NetMask 255.255.255.0
The above example shows that each LAN group is on its own network and that there is no overlap in assignable IP address based on netmask.
To remove an interface from LAN group 1, click on the interface (e.g. USB) and click the Remove button:
To add the available interface from the Interfaces section to a LAN group, highlight the interface and click the Add button of the appropriate LAN group. To add the available USB interface to LAN group 2 highlight the USB interface in the Interfaces section and click the Add button for LAN group 2:

IP Settings
The IP address is usually 192.168.1.1 but you can change it to another suitable number (e.g. 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or 172.16.1.1) to suit any existing network devices you already have installed. The NetMask describes how big your network is, the default 255.255.255.0 will allow for 253 computers and generally does not need
to be changed unless to suit existing network requirements.

Server enabled by default. This means it will assign valid IP addresses to each computer connected to it and will direct those computers to use the Modem as the gateway to the Internet. Having the DHCP server enabled is the recommended choice.
When selecting certain radio buttons you will notice that some of the options avail-
able for conguration will be greyed out. For example, when selecting ‘Unmanaged’ you will notice that all elds under IP Settings are greyed out. This means that no settings are congurable if the interface is unmanaged.

Note: If Server and Relay are turned off you need to assign IP addresses within
the same range to the PCs connected to the modem else they will not be able to communicate with the modem. For example, if your mo­dem’s Ethernet interface address is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 you need to assign static addresses starting at 192.168.1.2 up to 192.168.1.253.
If you disable the DHCP server in the Modem you will need to either manually (stati­cally) assign IP address information to each computer or use another device/com­puter as DHCP server.
Note: It is not recommended that you have more than one DHCP server enabled
on your network.

WAN Setup>New Connection
If you click ‘New Connection’ you will see the screen shown below.
The Connection setup page requires you to choose the correct settings to work with your ADSL connection as specied by your ISP. The screen will add or remove non-
applicable choices as you change options. There are a few main settings you will
need to conrm with your ISP before you can complete this page, these are;
• Type of Connection (e.g. PPPoE, PPPoA, Static, DHCP, Bridge, CLIP)
• Username & Password (usually only required for PPPoE or PPPoA types)
• VPI & VCI (usually VPI=8 and VPI =35)
• Authentication (Usually AUTO will work otherwise check with your ISP)
Most other choices on this screen are personal preference and not critical to getting your connection working.
