6ADSL X5 User's Guide
If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom Customer
Support or whoever sold you the modem.
In addition, the package may include:
• Phone-jack adapter to adapt the phone cord to a particular
phone jack (certain countries only)
• ADSL line filter(s) (certain models only)
Before You Begin
Before you begin installing the X5 modem using this guide, you
must have the following available to you:
• ADSL service enabled on your telephone line. To do this,
you need to sign up with an ADSL service provider. Once this
service is enabled, you should have an ADSL-enabled
telephone wall jack to plug the X5 modem into. (Your service
provider may refer to “ADSL service” as “DSL service.”)
• One or more computers that you want to connect to the
Internet. The X5 supports the connection of up to four
Macintosh, Linux, or Windows computers with Ethernet ports.
Note for Windows users:
Your computers must use one of the following operating
systems: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. We recommend that you
connect all of your Windows computers using Ethernet ports.
If any of your computers do not have an Ethernet port, you
can purchase a Network Interface Card (NIC) to add one.
Alternately, you can connect one of your computers using its
USB port. (This also enables Windows users to connect five
computers, instead of four, directly to the X5.)
