ADSL X5 Modem,

Gateway, Router, Firewall,

and 4-Port Switch

This Quick Start contains instructions for Windows PC users.

The User’s Guide on the CD also includes installation

instructions for Macintosh and Linux users, along with detailed

information about advanced features. The CD also contains a

Glossary of technical terms and Customer Support information.

About the ADSL X5

With four LAN ports (labeled 

1

4

), the X5 lets you easily

connect up to four computers with Ethernet ports.
If one of your computers does not have an Ethernet port (or if you

have five computers you want to connect), the X5 also has a 

USB

port to support a single USB connection.

Note:

If your computers have Ethernet ports, we recommend you use

them to connect to the modem. Only use the X5 modem’s 

USB

port if one of your computers does not have an Ethernet port or if

you have used all of the modem’s LAN ports.

If you want to connect more than five computers to the Web, you

can plug a network device (such as a wireless access point, hub,
router, or switch) into one of the LAN ports to expand the

maximum number of Internet connections to 253.
