4. TIPS FOR NCT480 IP DSLAM INSTALLATION
4.1 LED DISPLAY OF THE NCT480 IP DSLAM
When you power on the NCT480 IP DSLAM, the DSLAM will take approximately 3 ~ 5 minutes to start
up. During this time, there will not be any LED display as the DSLAM is busy with its internal start up and
checking processes.
When the NCT480 IP DSLAM has completed the start up process, the LEDs which represent each ADSL port
at the front panel will light up. They will then go into a periodically light ON and OFF flashing sequence. This
indicates that the IP DSLAM is up and is monitoring all 48 ADSL ports status and performance.
4.2 WEB INTERFACE OF THE NCT480 IP DSLAM
A screen shot of the NCT480 IP DSLAM is illustrated as follows

NCT480 IP DSLAM Quick Start Guide YML855 Rev3
12 www.netcomm.com.au
4.3 LOCAL & REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF THE NCT480 IP DSLAM
NCT480 IP DSLAM can be managed locally via its management port Eth-3 by making use of its default IP
Address. It can also be managed remotely via its uplink/downlink interfaces Eth-1 and Eth-2 from the WAN
side of the DSLAM. By default, there is no IP address for the uplink/downlink interfaces. IP address will need
to be assigned to them and it is only used for NCT480 system management purpose. The IP addresses
assigned to uplink and downlink interface need to be in a different subnet.
4.4 COMMIT AND REBOOT IN THE NCT480 IP DSLAM
Settings must be saved by selecting Commit from the System Menu followed by Reboot System. A reboot
process in NCT480 will generally takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
