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

in the appropriate boxes.

Your Internet service provider should have given this

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.
