Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall

when drilling holes for the screws.

3

If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the

anchors into the full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not

insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.

If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not

insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.

4

Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the NBG with the

connection cables.

5

Align the holes on the back of the NBG with the screws on the wall. Hang the NBG on the

screws.

Accessing the Wizard

Launch your web browser and type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address. Type "1234"

(default) as the password and click

Login

.

Note: The Wizard appears when the NBG is accessed for the first time or when you reset

the NBG to its default factory settings.

The Wizard screen opens. Choose your

Connect to Internet

The NBG offers four Internet connection types. They are

Static IP

,

DHCP

,

PPPoE

, or

PPTP

(supported in the next firmware version). The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection

type you are using.

Detecting your Internet Connection Type

If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list box.

Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type.

Note: If you get an error message, check your hardware connections. Make sure your

Internet connection is up and running.

The following screen depends on your Internet connection type. Enter the details provided by your

Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the fields (if any).

2.3.3

Connection Type: PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF

(Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with

a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data

networks.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing

access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services,

a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create

and offer new IP services for specific users.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it

requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG (rather than individual computers), the computers on

the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG does that part of the task.

Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.

Primary DNS

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address

and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know

the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG uses a system DNS server

(in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server.

Enter the primary DNS server's IP address in the fields provided.

Secondary DNS

Enter the secondary DNS server's IP address in the fields provided.
