Installing the Hardware

1 Shut down and power off your computer.

(This can be any one of the computers that you plan to use
with the X6v

.

In a typical situation, this would be the computer

that is closest to your ADSL wall jack.)

2 Rotate the antenna on the back of the modem to a vertical

position.

3 Connect the modem to the computer’s Ethernet port.

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable

into any one of the

X6v

modem’s ETHERNET ports (Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2,

Ethernet 3, or Ethernet 4) and plug the other end into your
computer’s Ethernet port.

4 Plug the power cube into a power strip or wall outlet and then

plug the power cube’s other end into the modem’s POWER
jack.

Important!

Only use the power cube shipped with the X6v. Other power
cubes might damage your hardware.

5 After you plug in the power cube, the POWER and WLAN

lights on the front panel of the modem should become steady
on, and the DSL light should flash. If the POWER light does
not turn on, press the button on the modem's rear panel
and make sure that there is power at the wall outlet or power
strip where you plugged in the power cube.
