For Macintosh or Linux users, this can be any one of the
computers that you plan to use with the
X6
. In a typical
situation, this would be the computer that is closest to
your ADSL wall jack.
2
Rotate the antenna on the back of the modem to a vertical
position.
3
Connect the modem to the computer’s Ethernet port.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable
into any one of the
X6
modem’s
LAN
ports (
LAN
1
,
LAN
2
,
LAN
3
, or
LAN
4
)
and plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet port.
4
Plug the power cube into a power strip or wall outlet and then
plug the power cube’s other end into the modem’s power
(
PWR
) jack.
Important!
Only use the power cube shipped with the X6. Other power
cubes may damage your hardware.
5
After you plug in the power cube, the
PWR
and
WLAN
lights
on the front panel of the modem should become steady on,
and the
LINK
light should blink. If the
PWR
light does not
turn on, make sure there is power at the wall outlet or power
strip where you plugged in the power cube.
6
Turn the computer on.
7
Plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the modem’s
ADSL
port and the other into the ADSL wall jack. The
blinking
LINK
light should become steady on. If it does not,
refer to
Troubleshooting
on page 106.

Note:
In some countries, including the UK, the modem comes with a
splitter.
Plug the splitter into the wall jack with ADSL service.
Then plug the supplied phone cord between the modem's
ADSL jack and the splitter's MODEM jack.
We recommend that you put an ADSL filter on every
phone connected to the ADSL phone line.
DO NOT put a
filter between the X6 and the wall jack that it is connected to.
If you are using a splitter, you can plug a phone into the
splitter's PHONE jack, which has a built-in filter.
Congratulations!
You have installed the hardware. Now

PPPoE
, enter your
ADSL
Username
and
Password
in the appropriate boxes.
Your Internet service provider should have given this
information to you. (Your Username is typically your

the
Zoom Configuration Manager
.)
±
If you selected 1483 Bridged
or
1483 Routed
, you
have the option of using either dynamic or static IP
addressing. Depending on your situation, select the
appropriate option button:
−
[MOST USERS] Ensure that
Obtain an IP
address Automatically
is selected if you are
using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (also
known as DHCP or dynamic IP addressing). This
option is selected by default because most Internet
service providers use DHCP.
−
Select
Use the following IP Address
only if you
are using a static IP address. (You should know if
you are using static IP addressing. There is
typically an extra charge for a static IP address and
you usually have to make special arrangements
with your Internet service provider to get one.)
Then
enter
the
IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
,
Default Gateway
, and
DNS
that you plan to use.
