NBN FTTC Setup

NBN FTTC Setup

Step 1 - Locate the service

Typically the service will be terminated at the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) ready for your cabling contractor to jumper the service to your patch panel or communication cabinet.  Ensure that the cabling contractor labels the port as the NBN port.

Step 2- Plug in your NBN Connection Device (NCD)




It is very important that you have no other devices plugged into the NBN port/socket. You will need to plug in your nbn™ Connection Device (NCD) first. Plug the included black power cable (A) from plug A (POWER) on the back of the NCD. Plug the other end of the power cable (A) into a power wall outlet in your home and switch the power point on.






Plug the included grey telephone cable (B) into plug B (WALL SOCKET) on the back of the NCD. Plug the other end of the telephone cable (B) into your NBN port/socket. You will now need to wait for the connection light and the DSL light on the top of the NCD to turn solid blue - this may take up to 15 minutes. Note: DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE DURING THIS TIME






Once the NCD connects successfully it should have the DSL light and the connection light solid blue as per the image to the left.






Step 3 - Plug in your router / Firewall

Take your modem/router’s power supply cable and use it to connect your modem/router’s power port to an electrical outlet. Switch the power point on.
