NB8/NB8W ADSL2+ Modem Router 3

YML804 Rev1

Overview

Thank you for purchasing the NetComm NB8/NB8W ADSL2+ Modem Router. NetComm is proud

to introduce this entirely new class of all-in-one device incorporating ADSL2+ and Wireless in a

single compact unit. The NB8/NB8W is truly a ‘broadband communications gateway’ that, when

attached to the appropriate ISP services, will enable multiple broadband communications streams

to run concurrently into your home or ofﬁce. Wireless and ethernet data services can be delivered

and distributed to multiple PCs at the same time, while the gateway can be managed via ‘Quality of

Service’ (QoS) controls to ensure that priority is given to the trafﬁc of your choice.

Let’s look at some of the capabilities offered by the NB8/NB8W in brief:

ADSL Broadband The NB8/NB8W offers the next generation of

broadband ADSL technology with ADSL2/2+, which

boosts ADSL’s performance signiﬁcantly, improves

interoperability, and supports new applications,

services and deployment conditions.

Wireless (NB8W only) In addition to fast, standard 802.11g-based wireless,

the NB8W incorporates Broadcom’s state-of-the-

art XPress and Afterburner technology to radically

improve the performance of wirelessly-connected

devices.

QoS With the addition of bandwidth-hungry applications

to the SOHO/Home network the NB8/NB8W has

not overlooked one of the most important features

for a home Internet gateway – Quality of Service

(QoS) The QoS implementation in the NB8/NB8W

is extremely sophisticated allowing you to prioritise

data on your network according to rules you make.

CD-ROM.

Minimum System Requirements:

Different aspects of the NB8/NB8W have different requirements, so let’s look at them in turn. We’ll

start with your computer, which ought to match the following requirements if you are to enjoy the

beneﬁts of a high-speed ADSL connection and use of Wireless Networking (for the NB8W only).

PC Requirements:

• Any computer running Windows 98/2000/Me/XP or Macintosh OSX

• Ethernet or Wireless Network card

• CD-ROM drive

• Web browser e.g.

• Internet Explorer 5.1 (or better)

• Netscape Navigator

• Mozilla FireFox 1.0.4

ADSL Requirement:

• ADSL broadband connection to an ISP (Internet Service Provider)

• ADSL Splitter/Filter (see below for details)

Note: Connection at ADSL2 or 2+ rate depends on the service offered by your

ISP; the device will operate at standard ADSL rates in the absence of the

2 or 2+ service. Consult your ISP for details.

USB Requirements:

• USB Port

Wireless Requirements (for NB8W only):

• Wireless Network Interface Card (NIC) for each intended computer

Do I need a micro filter?

Micro ﬁlters are used to prevent interference between phones and fax machines, and your ADSL

service. If your ADSL-enabled phone line is being used with any equipment other than your ADSL

Modem then you will need to use one Micro ﬁlter for each phone device in use. Telephones and/or

facsimiles in other rooms that are using the same line will also require Microﬁlters. The following

diagram gives an example of connecting your ADSL Modem/ Router using a Microﬁlter. A suitable

Microﬁlter can be purchased from NetComm or your Service Provider, if required.

A central splitter may be installed with your ADSL service or when your current phone line is

upgraded to ADSL. If your telephone line is already split you will not need to use a Microﬁlter on

each device.- Check with your ADSL or phone service provider if you are unsure as to whether a

splitter is installed at your premises.

Each micro ﬁlter 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 Microﬁlters. The following diagram gives an example of connecting your ADSL Modem/

Router using a Microﬁlter.

A suitable Microﬁlter can be purchased from NetComm or your Service Provider, if required.
