Plug the included power cube into a power strip or wall outlet
and then plug its other end into the modem’s power (
PWR

Important!
Only use the power cube shipped with the X6. Other power
cubes may damage your hardware.
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.

Tip!
If your X6 came with an ADSL splitter, you can plug it into
the ADSL wall jack. This enables you to use the wall jack for
both your ADSL connection and for telephone service. The
splitter has two jacks, one labeled for your ADSL modem
connection and the other for your phone.

Phone filters are not absolutely required, but we
HIGHLY
RECOMMEND that you use a filter for EVERY phone
and fax that is sharing the ADSL phone line.
(Do not plug
a filter between the ADSL wall jack and the X6.) Phone filters
block the ADSL frequencies so that someone making a normal
phone call will not hear modem noise on the line. They also
keep phone noise from interfering with ADSL performance.
You may have received ADSL phone filters with your X6. If
you did not, or if you need more filters, they are available at
most retail stores that carry consumer electronics.
