Configuring the X5 Manually
Some users may need to configure the X5’s IP settings manually,
instead of having the modem automatically configure itself.
Typically, you would manually configure your modem if:
You already have the
VPI
,
VCI
, and
Encapsulation
settings
from your Internet service provider.
You have a static IP address that you plan to use with the X5.
If this is the case, skip this section and continue with
Using
Static IP Addressing
on page 22.
The auto configuration process was unable to find your
settings.
Manually configuring the modem requires that you log in to the
Zoom Configuration Manager
and enter information on its
Basic Setup
page. (If you need help logging in, see page 13.)
1
On the
Basic Setup
page, ensure that the
MANUAL
option
button is selected.
2
Do the following, depending on whether you know your
VPI
,
VCI
, and
Encapsulation
settings:
!
If your Internet service provider gave you the settings,
continue with step 3 below.
!
If you do not know the settings, refer to the
ADSL
Internet Settings Tables
beginning on page 45. Find
your service provider on the list and make note of its
settings. If there is more than one listing for your service
provider, the most common one is labeled (1), the next (2),
and so on.
Tip:
If you are in the United States and your service provider is
not on the list, use the settings for
Service Provider Not
Shown
at the bottom of the table.

.)

Select your service provider’s Encapsulation setting from the
Encapsulation
drop-down list. Depending on your selection,
do the following:
!
If your Encapsulation setting begins with PPP:
Enter
your
Username
and
Password
in the boxes provided.
Your Internet service provider should have given you a
User ID or User Name (usually your email address or the
characters preceding the @ sign in your email address) and
a Password. (These are NOT the same
User Name
and
Password
you that you used earlier to open
the Zoom
Configuration Manager
.)
Tip:
If you do not know your
Username
and
Password
,
contact your service provider and tell them that you
misplaced the information.
!
If your Encapsulation setting begins with 1483
Bridged or 1483 Routed:
The
Username
and
Password
boxes will automatically disappear from the page because
you do not need to enter this information. Continue with
step 5.
Important!
If you plan to use a static IP address, you must manually
configure the X5 from the
WAN Configuration
page and
not the
Basic Setup
page. For more information, see
Using Static IP Addressing
on page 22. Typically, you
must make arrangements with (and pay) your Internet
service provider for a static IP address.

In the
VPI
and
VCI
boxes, enter the settings for your service
provider.
