Quick Start

ADSL X6 Modem,
Wireless-G Router, Firewall,
and 4-Port Switch
Model 5590
This Quick Start contains instructions for using a Windows
computer to set up a wired and/or wireless network. Macintosh
and Linux users should refer to the User's Guide on the CD.
About the ADSL X6
The Zoom ADSL X6 supports up to 253 Internet connections.
You can connect a computer or network device (for example, a
router, hub, or switch) into any of the unit's four LAN ports, and
you can "connect" wireless devices via the unit's wireless access
point.
We recommend that you first configure the modem and establish
an Internet connection using a Windows computer that is directly
connected to one of the modem's LAN ports.
Then—once you are certain your connection is working—you
should set up your network.
