Chapter 1: Installation Instructions

Go to your Web Browser (i.e., Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address.

If you connect successfully, your installation is complete

and you’re ready to browse the web! Continue with Setting

If you do not connect successfully, continue with the next step
below.

Go back to the tables on page 65 and enter the next most

frequently used settings—those labeled (2) if you just

entered (1), or (3) if you just entered (2). Click Save Changes,

Write Settings to Flash and Reboot, and Confirm. Once the
process is complete, the X5’s LINK light should remain on

steady (this should take about 15 seconds). Remember, if you

are entering either 1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed for your

Encapsulation setting, you must check now to make sure that

your IP Addressing is correctly set if you haven’t already done

settings shown for your service provider, and you cannot

connect, refer to Troubleshooting on page 72.

Now jump back to Step 5.

Setting IP Addressing

If the Encapsulation setting that you entered on the Basic Setup
menu was either 1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed, the X5v can be set

for DHCP (also known as a dynamic IP address) or for a static IP

address. Most DSL service providers use DHCP. There is typically

an extra charge for a static IP address, and you normally have to
make a special request to get one.

To set the X5vfor DHCP, on the Basic Setup menu, check

the DHCP client enable box. Leave the Host Name field

blank.
To Set the X5v for Static IP Addressing, go to the X5v’s
Advanced Settings page and click WAN Settings. Enter the

static IP address and subnet mask assigned to you by your
service provider. Do not change any other fields!
