ADSL X5 User's Guide
To Connect a Network Device
This section provides general instructions for connecting a network
device (such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or switch) to
the X5. For information about setting up your network device,
please refer to the documentation that came with that device.
1
Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s
LAN ports (
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
) and the other end into the network
device’s Ethernet port. (For a hub or a switch, this is typically
called an Uplink or Expansion port. For a router or wireless
access point, this is typically called a WAN port.)
2
Set up your network. Refer to the documentation provided
with your particular network device for instructions on how to
do this.
3
Once your network is set up, reboot any computer that is part
of the network. For example, if you are connecting a wireless
access point, reboot any computer that will use the wireless
network.
4
Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your
Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator)
on each computer using your network and try to connect to a
familiar Web address.
Congratulations!
You have connected your network device to the
Internet. You are done with this user’s guide. Enjoy your X5!
