ADSL X5 User's Guide
If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom Customer
Support or whoever sold you the modem.
In addition, the package may include:
•
Phone-jack adapter to adapt the phone cord to a particular
phone jack (certain countries only)
•
ADSL line filter(s) (certain models only)
Before You Begin
Before you begin installing the X5 modem using this guide, you
must have the following available to you:
•
ADSL service enabled on your telephone line.
To do this,
you need to sign up with an ADSL service provider. Once this
service is enabled, you should have an ADSL-enabled
telephone wall jack to plug the X5 modem into. (Your service
provider may refer to “ADSL service” as “DSL service.”)
•
One or more computers
that you want to connect to the
Internet.
The X5 supports the connection of up to four
Macintosh, Linux, or Windows computers with Ethernet ports.
Note for Windows users:
Your computers must use one of the following operating
systems: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. We recommend that you
connect all of your Windows computers using Ethernet ports.
If any of your computers do not have an Ethernet port, you
can purchase a Network Interface Card (NIC) to add one.
Alternately, you can connect one of your computers using its
USB port. (This also enables Windows users to connect five
computers, instead of four, directly to the X5.)

[Optional] Network device:
You can connect a network
device (such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or switch)
to the X5 modem. If you plan to connect a network device, be
aware that you must first connect at least one of your
computers directly to the X5. This will be the computer from
which you will configure the modem. (For Windows users, this
will also be the computer on which you will install the
software.)
Note:
Because network devices can be set up in many ways, this
user’s guide provides general instructions about connecting a
network device to the X5. For information about setting up
your network device, see that device’s documentation.
•
Additional Ethernet cables.
These are only required if you
plan to connect more than one computer/network device with
an Ethernet port to the X5. (The X5 comes with one Ethernet
cable and one USB cable.)

ADSL X5 User's Guide
Installing the X5
Installing the X5 involves four steps:
Installing the Software
,
Installing the Hardware
,
Establishing Communication
, and
Connecting Additional Computers to the Internet
.
Step 1: Installing the Software
Important!
This section is for Windows computers only. If you are using a
Macintosh or Linux computer (or you are a Macintosh or Linux
user who is connecting the X5 directly to a network device), skip
this section and begin with the next one,
Installing the Hardware
on page 10.
Regardless of how many Windows computers you plan to connect
to the X5, you only have to install the software on one of them.
The Windows computer on which you install the software will also
be the first computer that you physically connect to the X5. It will
also be the computer from which you configure the modem. (The
hardware connection and the modem configuration process are
explained later in this user’s guide.)
Determining which computer to install the software on depends on
how the computers will be connected to the X5:
•
If all of your Windows computers will be connected using
their Ethernet ports:
You can install the software on any one
of these computers.
•
If one of the Windows computers will be connected using
its USB port and the rest using their Ethernet ports:
You
must install the software on the computer with the USB port.
Because the back panel of the X5 modem has one
USB
port
and four LAN (Ethernet) ports, only one computer can be
connected using a USB port. Note, however, that we
recommend you connect your computers using Ethernet ports,
if possible.

If you will be connecting a network device (such as a
wireless access point, router, hub, or switch):
You must
install the software on a Windows computer that will be
directly connected to the X5. This means that if you have a
network device, you should choose a computer to connect to
the modem (the actual physical connection will be made later
in this user’s guide) and install the software on it. For most
users, this will probably be the computer that is closest to the
ADSL-enabled phone jack. If you were already planning to
connect multiple computers directly to the X5 (in addition to a
network device), review the previous two bullets to determine
which computer to install the software on.
Windows computer users MUST install the software
BEFORE installing the hardware.
Important!
If you need to use the X5’s USB option, you must remove any
existing USB modem drivers on your Windows computer before
installing this software. On the desktop, click the
Start
button, and
then—depending on your operating system—either click
Control
Panel
, or click
Settings
and then
Control Panel
. In the
Control
Panel
, double-click
Add/Remove Programs
. On the
Add/Remove Program Properties
dialog box, select the USB
modem you are removing on the
Install/Uninstall
tab, click
Remove
, and then click
OK
.
1
Turn on your computer (if it is not on already).
2
Insert the supplied CD into the CD-ROM drive of your
computer. The CD should start automatically and the
Language Selection
screen should appear. (If the CD does
not start automatically, on the desktop, click the
Start
button,
click
Run
, and then type
D:\setup.exe
, where
D
is the letter
of your CD-ROM drive.)
3
Select your language. The
Main Menu
screen opens.

Shut down the computer.
Congratulations!
You have installed the software. Now, continue
with the next section,
Installing the Hardware
.
Step 2: Installing the Hardware
Windows users only: Be sure that you have already installed
the software BEFORE beginning this section. Software
installation is not required for Macintosh and Linux
computers.
1
Shut down your computer (if it is not shut down already).
!
For Windows users, this is the computer on which you just
installed the software.
!
For Macintosh or Linux users, this can be any one of the
computers that you plan to plug directly into the X5. If
you plan to use a network device (such as a wireless access
point, router, hub, or switch) you must connect at least
one of your computers directly to the modem.
