Notes before we begin:
• This guide is applicable to Mac OS X.
• You do not need to load the Netcomm software CD.
• You will need your Pacific Internet adsl username and password.
Setup Guide:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the back of the modem, into the port marked “LAN”. Plug the other end into the network card on your Mac.
2. Plug the power cable into the modem and turn the power on.
3. Click on the Apple icon and select “System Preferences”.

4. Click on the “Network” icon.

5. Select “Built-in Ethernet” from the drop down menu marked “Show”.

6. Click on the “TCP/IP” tab.
7. Select “Using DHCP” from the “Configure” drop down menu.
8. Enter the following information (as shown above):
DNS Servers:
- 61.8.0.113
- 210.23.129.34
Domain:
- pacific.net.au
9. Click “Apply Now”.
10. Close this window by clicking on the red button in the top left hand corner.
11. Open Internet Explorer. The Internet explorer icon will have a picture of a blue “e”.

12. In the address bar of Internet Explorer type in “192.168.1.1” and hit the enter key on your keyboard.

13. You will be prompted for a username and password to login to your modem. Type in the username: admin and the password: password then click “Ok”.

14. This will take you into the Netcomm’s One page Configuration screen.

15. Enter your Pacific Internet adsl username and password into the “Username” and “Password” fields. Don’t forget, your adsl username will end with “@dsl.pacific.net.au” and will be in lowercase. For example: john123@dsl.pacific.net.au.

16. The rest of the settings on this screen should all default to the correct values. This means you should not need to change any. However it is best that you double check these settings with the picture above.
17. Click the “Submit” button.
18. Click on the “Save Setting and Reboot” button on the left hand menu.

19. Click on the button “Save Reboot” that appears on the right hand window. This will save your settings and your modem will reboot itself.

20. The next step is to plug one end of the telephone cable into port marked “DSL” on the back of the Netcomm. Then plug the other end into the wall socket of the telephone line setup for adsl. Ensure all telephone devices that share this line have adsl in line filters installed on them.
Your Netcomm NB1300 is now configured and should automatically connect you to the internet. Try opening Internet Explorer and typing in a website into the address bar. If you are unsure of what page to type in, try http://www.pacific.net.au
