Restoring Factory Defaults
This feature will reset the Modem to its factory default configuration. 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 reconfigure 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 configuration web interface using http://192.168.1.1 with username
'admin' and password 'admin'.

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 com-
puter 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.
