If the NBN box has no global IP address and no local (to me) IP address; does it have an IP address local to NBN and/ or my ISP ? if not how is it 'addressed' by them for the purpose of ROM upgrades and connecting/ disconnecting it. The latter I know they can do; because iPrimus support eventually realised, that this was why my new "Home Fibre Starter Plus" was not working.

Many thanks Hannah this what I wanted to know !; I wasn't asking the question correctly; but unfortunately , I couldn't ask it correctly till I knew the answer.
the nbn termination unit at your house would have an ONU Identifier (ONU-ID) that can be addressed by the nbn infrastructure. this is entirely independent of the IP routing and IP addresses handled by your modem/router and ISP
and Yes I am quite clear that: "this is entirely independent of the IP routing and IP addresses handled by your modem/router and ISP " all questions are now answered, thanks to Brian , Anthony, Jason and Hannah; regards Rohan McLeod
