Installing The X3 Or; Before You Begin - Zoom X3 User Manual

•
ADSL line filter(s) (certain models only).

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing the X3 or X4 modem using this manual,
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 X3 or X4 modem into. (Your
service provider may refer to "ADSL service" as "DSL
service.")
•
A computer. The X3 and X4 supports the connection of a
Windows, Macintosh, or Linux computer with an Ethernet
port. The X4 also supports the connection of a Windows
computer with a USB port.
•
[Optional] Network device: You can connect the X3 or X4
to a network device such as a wireless access point or switching
hub. If you plan to connect a network device, you should first
do an installation with a computer connected directly to the X3
or X4. Once that's working, you connect the X3 or X4 to the
network device.
Installing the X3 or X4
• To reduce the risk of fire, use the supplied phone cord.
• Do not use this product near water — for example, in a wet
basement or next to a swimming pool.
Go to Step 2 now if you have an X3. If you have an X4, go to Step
2 now if your computer has an available Ethernet port.
