4 ADSL X5 Quick Start
Quick Start Instructions
Installing the X5 involves four steps: Installing the Software ,
Installing the Hardware , Establishing Communication , and
Connecting Additional Computers to the Internet .
Step 1: Installing the Software
Regardless of how many computers you plan to connect to the X5,
you only have to install the software on one of them.
This computer on which you install the software will also be the
first computer you physically connect to the X5. It will also be the
computer from which you configure the modem. (The hardware
connection and the modem configuration process are explained
later in this Quick Start.)
Determining which computer to install the software on depends on
how the computers will be connected to the X5:
•
If all of your computers will be connected using their
Ethernet ports: You can install the software on any one of
these computers.
•
If one of the computers will be connected using its USB
port and the rest using their Ethernet ports: You must
install the software on the computer with the USB port.
Because the back panel of the X5 modem has one USB port
and four LAN (Ethernet) ports, only one computer can be
connected using a USB port. Note, however, that we
recommend you connect your computers using Ethernet ports,
if possible.
