with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
These instructions provide a basic set-up configuration that should get home or small office Macs
up and running. This will be sufficient for most users.
If you need to perform more advanced configurations, please see the comprehensive User Guide on

Connecting your NB5PLUS4W
The NetComm NB5PLUS4W Modem can be connected directly to your Mac via an Ethernet or
USB interface. In addition, you can use your Mac’s Airport to connect to the NB5PLUS4W
wirelessly.
Warning: Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include your Mac and your
NB5PLUS4W Modem.
Do I need to use the MicroFilter?
MicroFilters prevent common telephone equipment – such as telephones, answering machines and
fax machines – from interfering with your ADSL service.
