How to Install new NBN connection FTTN

Fibre to the Node (FTTN) is a way of delivering access to fast broadband by running fibre
optic cable to a neighbourhood node/cabinet and then utilising the existing copper network

Your telephone wall socket is the first point where your FTTN|B connection enters your
home if you have transitioned an existing copper pair, so finding the right one is vital.

connects to your phone or internet service.
Check CPE Modem configuration.
The CPE modem should have its configuration verified (including firmware version,
authentication settings, VLAG tagging, DSCP or p-bit marking by traffic type etc.1), and be
proven at an alternative location or a different CPE modem tested. It is recommended that a
registered CPE modem be used for full assurance support from nbn.
The configuration of the service should be checked in the customer network, including
addressing modes, speeds, authentication settings, VLAN tagging, traffic class addressing etc.
These settings need to be verified as actually implemented in the Customer Network.
