Before You Begin
Before you begin installing the X6 modem using this Quick Start,
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 X6 modem into. (Your service
provider may refer to "ADSL service" as "DSL service.")
•
A Windows computer (98/Me/2000/XP) with an
Ethernet port for setting up the X6. This is the computer
that you will physically connect to the X6 (using an Ethernet
cable), and then use to configure the modem.
•
An Ethernet port for each additional computer that you
plan to plug into one of the unit's LAN ports (or into a
network device that is plugged into one of the LAN
ports). The additional computers that connect can be
Windows, Macintosh, and/or Linux computers.
•
Wireless capability for each desktop or notebook
computer that will make a wireless connection to the X6.
The X6 supports 802.11b- and 802.11g-compatible network
adapters.
•
Additional Ethernet cables. If you plan to connect more
than one computer directly to the modem, you will need
additional Ethernet cables to make the connection. The
modem supports up to four direct connections via its four
LAN ports.
