Monitoring ADSL Status
If you want to check the status of your ADSL connection, click the
ADSL Status
icon at the top of the
Zoom Configuration
Manager
. (If you forgot how to log in to the
Zoom
Configuration Manager
, see page 13.)
The
ADSL Status
page provides information about your ADSL
connection. For example, you can verify whether your ADSL
connection is active or not (the
ADSL Status
setting will display
Showtime
if connected). You can also monitor related ADSL
parameters—for example, how fast the X5 is transferring data
(
Downstream Speed
and
Upstream Speed
).
Note:
The
ADSL Status
page does not provide a way to change any of
these settings—see
Chapter 3: Advanced Setup Options
,
beginning on page 32, if you need to make changes to these
settings.
For more detailed information about the ADSL status information
provided, click the
Help
icon at the top of the
ADSL Status
page
to open the online help.

Advanced Setup Options
The options that are set by default when the X5 is installed are
sufficient for most users. However, those that want or need to
change the X5’s settings can do so using the Advanced Setup

page. This chapter explains how to specify advanced options.
The information in this chapter applies to you if:
•
Your Internet service provider instructs you to enable,
disable, or change the default settings for your X5 in order
for it to work properly with your ADSL service. See How To

How To Use the Advanced
Options
Configuring the X5 for the situations described at the beginning of
this chapter requires the use of the
Advanced Setup
page. To
access this page, click the
Advanced Setup
icon at the top of any
page in the
Zoom Configuration Manager
. (If you forgot how to
log in to the
Zoom Configuration Manager
, see page 13.)
You will notice that there are numerous buttons on the page,
broken into three groups:
Configuration
,
Status
, and
Administration
.
Most users will not need to use any of the buttons on the
Advanced Setup
page.
Tip:
If you plan to specify advanced options, you can view detailed
information about each option in the online help. To open the
help, click the button for the settings you want to specify (for
example, the
Firewall
button to open the
Firewall Configuration
page), then click the
Help
icon at the top of the screen to open a
help topic specifically about the page you are viewing.

ADSL X5 User’s Guide
Configuration Buttons
Use the buttons in the
Configuration
group to perform advanced
configuration tasks.
The following table lists each button in the
Configuration
group
and gives a brief description of the settings you can specify.
This button…
Opens a page that lets you…
WAN
Configuration
Specify how your Wide Area Network ADSL setup
is configured. This page is also where you would
set up a static IP address (if you have arranged
for one with your Internet service provider).
Port Settings
Set the ports used when you use FTP or Telnet
with the device or if you are running a Web server
behind it.
Bridging
Specify which device interfaces are capable of
bridging data between your LAN/WAN and
Internet service provider. Interfaces can be
routable (for example, assigned an IP address),
bridgeable, or both.
Dynamic DNS
Enter the Host name you registered with a
Dynamic DNS service provider. This page is for
those who are using dynamic IP addressing (the
X5’s default) and want to host a Web site. The
Dynamic DNS service provider keeps track of
your constantly changing IP address and routes
those trying to access your Web site to the correct
location.
SNMP
Set up Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). This enables a host computer to access
configuration, performance, and other system
data that resides in a database on the modem.
IP Filtering
Set up rules to control the forwarding of incoming
and outgoing data between your LAN and the
Internet and within your LAN. For example, you
can create IP filter rules to block attempts by
certain computers on your LAN to access certain
types of data or Internet locations. You can also
block or allow incoming access to computers on
your LAN. This page displays the current filters
and lets you edit and add filters.
Table continues on the next page…

This button…
Opens a page that lets you…
DHCP
Specify Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) settings to enable network administrators
to centrally manage the assignment and
distribution of IP information to computers on a
network. When you enable DHCP on a network,
you allow a device (such as your X5’s router or a
router located with your Internet service provider)
to assign temporary IP addresses to your
computers whenever they connect to your
network.
IP Routing
Set up the routes on which you want the X5 to
send data it receives on a particular interface (for
example, LAN interface, Ethernet interface, etc.)
Routes specify the IP address of the next device
interface or Internet destination to forward data to,
given the ultimate destination of the data.
Blocked
Protocols
Select the protocols you want blocked from your
computer (for example, IP Milticast, NetBEUI, IPX,
APR, AppleTalk).
Bridge Filter
Filter packets at the Ethernet protocol level.
Firewall
Modify the default firewall settings. For example,
use this page to specify the email address(es) to
which you want an alert sent if your
computer/network is attacked.
NAT
Specify Network Address Translation settings.
The most common reason for changing the
default settings is if you have a LAN and require
each computer to have its own public IP address.
Otherwise, the default NAT setting provides
sufficient protection for most users.
RIP
Specify whether the X5 can communicate with
other routing devices and, if so, on which
interfaces. It also lets you specify how long routes
remain in memory.
LAN
Specify the settings that control the connection
between the X5 modem and your Ethernet jack or
USB port (depending on which you used to
connect the modem).
