Shut down your computer (if it is not shut down already).

Connect the modem to the computer’s Ethernet jack or to a
network device (such as a hub). If you are using a Windows
computer, you also have the option of connecting your
computer’s USB port. However, we recommend that Windows
users connect to an Ethernet jack if one is available.
! If you are using a computer’s Ethernet jack: Plug one
end of the Ethernet cable into the modem’s
ETHERNET jack and plug the other end into your
computer’s Ethernet jack.
! If you are using a computer’s USB port (Windows
computers only): Plug one end of the USB cable into the
modem’s USB port and the other end into your Windows
computer’s USB port.
! If you are connecting the X4 directly to a hub, switch,
wireless access point, or other network device:
Plug
one end of the Ethernet cable into the modem’s
ETHERNET jack and the other end into the network
device’s Ethernet jack (which is typically called an Uplink
or Expansion port).
The modem’s ETHERNET or USB connector is at the back
of the modem.
Tip:
Windows users can connect two computers to the X4, one on
the Ethernet jack and the other on the USB port, and share
Internet access.
