Step 1

Before making a move and connecting your small business to the NBN, it’s always best to check the compatibility of your other devices first.
These devices include but are not limited to:
- EFTPOS machines
- Faxes
- Phone system
- Security Systems
- HICAPS
- And other peripherals or devices that currently are connected using copper lines

Step 2
Choose Your Internet Provider
Choosing which Internet provider and what NBN Internet small business plan is right for you isn’t something to rush. After all, the Internet provider and NBN Internet plan you choose is the nerve centre of your small businesses.
The Internet Provider and small business NBN plan you choose will determine how fast and reliable your communications and devices will perform, so it is not a decision to take lightly.
Which Internet Provider and NBN small business Internet plan is right for you?
If you’re in business, avoid the trap of thinking all NBN Internet plans and providers are the same. They’re not. You’ll find no shortage of NBN horror stories about business owners who have moved to the NBN, and it has cost them more money, time and disruption than it should have.
Planning and seeking professional advice well before moving your business to the NBN is always wise. It could save you a lot of time, energy and money, so your company, team and communications all migrate to the NBN seamlessly.

Assess Need to Upgrade Phone Systems and Devices
Will you need to update your phone systems and devices when you connect to a NBN small business Internet plan?
Not always. Based on our experience of providing seamless NBN connections and plans to small businesses from the Gold Coast to Toowoomba, whether you need to update your phone system or not relies on the existing phone system and IT you have now.
Some small businesses can upgrade to the NBN without buying a new phone system.
It’s also important to understand that many telecommunication services are keen to sell and upgrade you to a new phone system when you may not need one.
The best way to avoid being sold a new phone system you may not need, to be compatible with the NBN, is to deal with a reputable and reliable small business Internet service provider. For further assistance or support about whether or not you will need to upgrade your current phone system or devices before connecting your small business to the NBN, please contact your local NBN Internet plan specialists Central Technologies on 1300 881 845

Active Devices
Once your NBN small business connection is activated, setting up your phone system and other devices based on our experience is a pretty painless exercise. In most cases, it’s a plug and play set up.
However, this will depend on your IT, phone systems and other devices’ configuration. So, some system preferences may be required.

Step 6
Port Your Numbers
Moving your businesses phone numbers from your old copper network lines to your new NBN business network is called ‘porting.’ These phone numbers could be from one carrier to another or between the same carrier.
To port your telephone numbers from your old system to your new NBN network, call your phone carrier handling your NBN migration to advise them you are ready to move.
They, in turn, will coordinate with you to port (or transfer) your old business telephone numbers to your new NBN small business broadband network.
For further assistance or support about porting your businesses phone numbers to a new NBN network, please contact your local NBN Internet plan specialists Central Technologies on 1300 881 845.

Turn Off Old Services
Congratulations. Your new small business NBN setup connection is activated. Your business phone numbers have been ported, and your devices and phone systems work seamlessly.
So, now’s the time to turn off your old services. Of course, most Internet service providers and NBN supply installation and set services such as ours will let you switch from your old ADSL internet connection to the NBN, usually without any cost and very little notice required.
However, if you’ve moved carriers such as Internet Providers, you may have to give them some notice that you are turning off your old service, and therefore, you may incur some costs.
Of course, as a small business owner, you can speak with any of the NBN Internet plan specialists at Central Technologies on 1300 881 845 about turning off your old services before connecting to the NBN quickly, efficiently and profitably.
