Overview 4

Overview

The X4 is an ADSL modem and a gateway/router all contained in

one device.

The ADSL modem gives you a connection to the Internet through

your Internet service provider.

The gateway/router provides an interface between the Internet and

your own local network. It also includes an advanced firewall,

which allows you to control Internet access from your local

network, and which protects your local network from unwanted

Internet traffic.

The X4 modem is also enabled for Universal Plug and Play

(UPnP™). This means that if you plug other devices with UPnP

capabilities into your computer or network (for example, a gaming

application, router, or stand-alone firewall) they will automatically

detect the X4 and make the needed configurations for them to

work together.

This User’s Guide contains installation instructions for Windows,

Macintosh, and Linux computers and information about the X4’s

advanced setup options. While most users will not need to use the

advanced setup options, there are cases in which these advanced

settings are necessary (for example, if you have a static IP address).

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 5

Installation Instructions

This chapter covers the basic instructions needed to install your

X4 and connect to the Internet. These instructions can be used

by those with a Macintosh, Linux, or Windows operating

system. If you already installed and connnected your X4 (using

the separate Quick Start booklet provided for Windows users),

you can skip this chapter and begin with Chapter 2.

Important! Before You Begin

Before installing your X4, you must have ADSL service enabled on

your telephone line. To do this, you need to sign up with an ADSL

service provider. (Your service provider may refer to “ADSL

service” as “DSL service.”)

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 7

Installing the X4

Installing the X4 involves four steps: Installing the Software,

Installing the Hardware, Configuring Your Web Browser, and

Establishing Communication.

Step 1: Installing the Software

Important!

This section is for Windows computers only. If you are using a

Macintosh or Linux computer, or your are connecting the X4

directly to a hub or network device, skip this section and begin

with the next one, Installing the Hardware on page 9.

Windows computer users MUST install the software

BEFORE installing the hardware.

If you intend to use the X4’s USB option, you must remove any

existing USB modem drivers on your Windows computer before

installing this software. On the desktop, click the Start button, and

then—depending on your operating system—either click Control

Panel, or click Settings and then Control Panel. In the Control

Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs. On the

Add/Remove Program Properties dialog box, select the USB

modem you are removing on the Install/Uninstall tab, click

Remove, and then click OK.

1Ensure that your computer is on.

2Insert the supplied CD into the CD-ROM drive of your

computer. The CD should start automatically and the

Language Selection screen should appear. (If the CD does

not start automatically, on the desktop, click the Start button,

click Run, and then type D:\setup.exe, where Dis the letter

of your CD-ROM drive.)

3Select your language. The Main Menu screen opens.

4Click Installation Wizard.

5Click ADSL X4 Modem to start the software installation, then

click Next when prompted.

6When the installation is complete, click Finish.

7Close any applications that may be open, then remove the CD

from the CD-ROM drive.

8Shut down the computer.

Congratulations! You have installed the software. Now, continue

with the next section, Installing the Hardware.

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 9

Step 2: Installing the Hardware

1Shut down your computer (if it is not shut down already).

2Connect the modem to the computer’s Ethernet jack or to a

network device (such as a hub). If you are using a Windows

computer, you also have the option of connecting your

computer’s USB port. However, we recommend that Windows

users connect to an Ethernet jack if one is available.

!If you are using a computer’s Ethernet jack: Plug one

end of the Ethernet cable into the modem’s

ETHERNET jack and plug the other end into your

computer’s Ethernet jack.

!If you are using a computer’s USB port (Windows

computers only): Plug one end of the USB cable into the

modem’s USB port and the other end into your Windows

computer’s USB port.

!If you are connecting the X4 directly to a hub, switch,

wireless access point, or other network device: Plug

one end of the Ethernet cable into the modem’s

ETHERNET jack and the other end into the network

device’s Ethernet jack (which is typically called an Uplink

or Expansion port).

The modem’s ETHERNET or USB connector is at the back

of the modem.

Tip:

Windows users can connect two computers to the X4, one on

the Ethernet jack and the other on the USB port, and share

Internet access.

3Plug the included X4 power cube into a power strip or wall

outlet, and then into the modem’s power (PWR) jack.

Important!

Only use the power cube shipped with the X4. Other power

cubes may damage your hardware.

4Turn the modem on by using the ON/OFF button at the

back of the modem.

The PWR light on the front panel of the modem should

become steady on, and the LINK light should blink once. 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 and that you have pushed the X4’s ON/OFF button to

turn it on.

5Turn the computer on. If you are using the USB port, you may

see a Found New Hardware box indicating the progression

of the installation. Typically no user action is necessary. If you

are using Windows XP, you may be required to click Next.

Depending on your operating system, you may also see a

Hardware Installation box or a Digital Signature Not

Found box. You can safely ignore these messages and click

Yes or Continue Anyway. If prompted, click Finish and/or

Yes to restart your computer to finish setting up your new

hardware.

6Plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the modem’s

ADSL jack and the other into the ADSL wall jack. The LINK

light should blink and then become steady on. If it does not,

refer to Appendix D: Troubleshooting on page 57.

7[Optional] If you want to plug in a phone through the modem,

you can do so by plugging it into the PHONE port. (The

PHONE port has a built-in phone filter.)
