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.
LED Indicators The LED Indicators are located on the front of the unit, they are green in colour, except the Power LED which is red. The meanings are as follows: Label Status Indicates Power On Power is on. Off Power is off. On A valid ADSL connection. Flashing An active WAN session. Flashing Trying to authenticate with ISP’s PPP server. On PPP link is up. Off No PPP link available. Flashing Flashes when data is being sent or received on the Ethernet (LAN) connection.

Connecting your NB1 The NB1 is connected via an Ethernet cable. To connect to your NB1, you will need to have an available Ethernet Port present on your Computer/Notebook or on your network hub or switch. 1. Connect your NB1 to either a computer directly or a network hub or switch using a CAT5 ethernet cable. 2. Connect the power pack to the ADSL Modem and switch on the power switch. 3. Ensure that there is a ETHERNET link light on the NB1. 4.
Configuring your NB1 You will need to log directly into the configuration page of the modem and configure the basic settings for your Internet connection. Your ISP should provide you with the necessary information to complete this step. The settings that you most likely need to change to access the Internet are grouped onto a single EasyConfig page. To configure your modem follow the steps below: Note: Ensure that your PC is setup as a DHCP client.
4. Check with your ISP what Protocol your modem needs to use to connect to the Internet. If unsure, leave the default selection of PPPoE. 5. In the User ID field, enter the Username that your ISP has provided. In the password field, enter the password that your ISP has given you. Note: If your ISP has provided you with Static addressing details you will need to access the Advanced Settings of your modem to configure these.

Straight and crossover cable configuration There are two types of the wiring: Straight-Through Cables and Crossover Cables. Category 5 UTP/STP cable has eight wires inside the sheath. The wires form four pairs. Straight-Through Cables has same pinouts at both ends while Crossover Cables has a different pin arrangement at each end. In a straight-through cable, wires 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 at one end of the cable are still wires 1~8 at the other end.

Filtering To screen out selected types of data, based on filtering rules. Filtering can be applied in one direction (upstream or downstream), or in both directions. filtering rule A rule that specifies what kinds of data a routing device will accept and/or reject. Filtering rules are defined to operate on an interface (or multiple interfaces) and in a particular direction (upstream, downstream, or both).
in-line filter See Microfilter Internet The global collection of interconnected networks used for both private and business communications. intranet A private, company-internal network that looks like part of the Internet (users access information using web browsers), but is accessible only by employees. IP See TCP/IP. IP address Internet Protocol address The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g., 209.191.4.240.
network A group of computers that are connected together, allowing them to communicate with each other and share resources, such as software, files, etc.A network can be small, such as a LAN, or very large, such as the Internet. network mask A network mask is a sequence of bits applied to an IP address to select the network ID while ignoring the host ID. Bits set to 1 mean “select this bit” while bits set to 0 mean “ignore this bit.” For example, if the network mask 255.255.255.
remote In a physically separate location. For example, an employee away on travel who logs in to the company’s intranet is a remote user. RIP Routing Information Protocol The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are two versions of RIP: version and version II.

TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the packets from source to destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols. Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote computer.
