ADSL X6 Quick Start
To Connect Additional “Wired”
Computers
You can connect up to four computers with Ethernet ports directly
to the X6.
1111
Shut down the computer you want to add to the X6. (This is
important because the computer must locate the correct IP
address for the modem. This is done when the computer is
turned back on in step 3 below.)
2222
Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s
LAN
ports and plug the other end into your computer’s
Ethernet port.
3333
Turn on the computer.
4444
Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your
Web browser (i.e., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator)
and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
5555
Repeat steps 1–4 for each computer you want to add.
To Connect a Network Device
You can use one of the
LAN
ports on the X6 to plug in a network
device (for example, hub, switch, or router).
1111
Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s
LAN
ports and the other end into the network device’s
Ethernet port. (For a hub or a switch, this is typically called an
Uplink or Expansion port. For a router, this is typically called a
WAN port.)
2222
Set up your network. Refer to the documentation provided
with your particular network device for instructions on how to
do this.
