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!

Removing the X5 Software
If you have a Windows computer and want to remove your X5—
for instance, if you move your computer to a location without
ADSL service—you should remove the software before
disconnecting the hardware.
Note:
Because Macintosh and Linux computers do not require the X5
software be installed, users of those operating systems do not have
to remove the software prior to removing the X5.
1
From your Windows desktop, click the
Start
button, point to
Programs
, then point to
Zoom ADSL Modem
, then select
Uninstall X5 ADSL Modem
.
2
When prompted to confirm your choice, click
Yes
.
3
When the process is complete, you will be prompted to click
Finish
.
4
Unplug your
X5
hardware.

Universal Plug and Play
The X5 is enabled for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP
). This
means that other devices plugged into your computer or network
(for example, a gaming application, router, or stand-alone firewall)
that use UPnP should automatically detect the X5 and make the
needed configurations for them to work together. There is no
setup for you to do.

Status Monitoring
This chapter discusses how to check the status of your modem
and its ADSL connection.
Most users can skip this chapter, as it is primarily for advanced
users and for those who are instructed by their Internet service
provider or Zoom Technical Support to verify settings, usually
for troubleshooting.
If you are using network device (such as a wireless access
point, router, hub, or switch), you can monitor your X5 from
any of the computers that are connected to your network.
Why Monitor Status?
The X5 provides two easy-to-read screens for you to review the
status of the modem and its ADSL connection.
While most users will probably never need to check the status,
there are some cases in which it would be helpful. For example,
you may need to know the IP address assigned to you by your
Internet service provider.
For advanced users with special configuration needs, the status
information is useful for overall system maintenance.

The
System Status

of your X5, including how long it has been since you last rebooted
