Using Your X4 with Xbox

Live
You should have already completed the Quick Start Instructions on
page 6.
Note:
Windows users connecting directly to the X4 should
use the USB connection, not Ethernet. No special settings are
required to use Xbox Live—just be sure to enter the login User
Name and Password supplied by your ISP on the X4’s
Basic
Setup
page. Once installation is complete, follow these steps.

Connect the X4 and the Xbox: Using the straight-through
Ethernet cable that came with your X4 modem, plug one end
into the X4’s Ethernet jack and the other end into the Xbox’s
jack. Insert the Xbox Communicator module into the Xbox
Controller expansion slot (top slot) and then insert the headset
plug into the Communicator module.

Activate your Xbox Live account: The Xbox Live CD should
still be in your Xbox. We recommend that you watch a video
that explains the installation process: Select
Xbox Live
from
the menu. Then, from the Dashboard, select
Xbox Live
and
follow the prompts.
Note:
You will need your subscription
code to activate your account—this number is located on the
CD’s sleeve. (If you require more detailed instructions, please
refer to your Xbox Live documentation.)
That’s it! Load one of the demo games included on your Xbox Live
CD or use any other Xbox Live-enabled game to begin
international online gaming.
