Bridge Mode Setup
(NB5 Series)

Bridge Mode
This guide will take you through the steps required to set your modem to bridged mode.
A Bridged connection basically disables the routing firewall and NAT features of the NB5. In a
Bridged connection the NB5 acts as a modem or hub and just transmits packets between the
WAN interface and the LAN interface. A Bridged connection assumes that another device is
providing the routing functionality that is now disabled in the NB5.
To setup a Bridged Connection you will have to access the ADSL Router
1. Open your web browser.
2. Type the default IP address http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
3. Enter the NB5 Username and Password.
NB5 default user name is admin and the password is admin
(Both username and password are case sensitive on these units).
TIP: If you access the ADSL Router andinstead of getting a login screen the browser instead
displays a loginredirection screen check your browser settings and verify thatJavaScript
support is enabled. If the screen still does not appear youmay need to flush the your cached
web pages; consult your browser helpscreens for how to do this if necessary.
