Zoom X5V - Manual (Page 4)

4 ADSL X5v User’s Guide
Overview
The X5v is an ADSL modem, a gateway/router, and a VoIP
telephone adapter, all contained in one device. The ADSL modem
gives you a connection to the Internet through your Internet
service provider. The gateway/router provides an interface
between the Internet and your own local network. It also includes
an advanced firewall, which allows you to control Internet access
from your local network, and which protects your local network
from unwanted Internet traffic. The VoIP telephone adapter lets
you make telephone calls over the Internet, using a normal
telephone that you plug into the X5v.
Important! Before You Begin
Before installing your X5V, you must have DSL service
enabled on your telephone line. To do this, you need to sign
up with a DSL service provider.
This User Guide contains installation instructions and explains how
to configure the X5v for some popular applications. Most users
should go now to the next chapter, Installation Instructions.
Note: If you are an Internet service provider, a VoIP service provider, or a system
administrator, additional information is available in the X5v Technical Reference
Manual at www.zoom.com
The Technical Reference manual includes information such as voice parameters,
dialing plan configurations, DNS, and advanced DSL settings.
