4 Turn the computer on. Windows users who connected their computer to the USB port may see a Found New Hardware box indicating the progression of the installation. Typically no user action is necessary. If you are using Windows XP, you may be required to click Next.
Depending on your operating system, you may also see a Hardware Installation box or a Digital Signature Not Found box. You can safely ignore these messages and click Yes or Continue Anyway. If prompted, click Finish and/or Yes to restart your computer to finish setting up your new hardware.
5 Plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the modem’s ADSL jack and the other into the ADSL wall jack. The ADSL light should blink and then become steady on. If it does not, refer to Appendix D: Troubleshooting on page 57.
6 We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you install a filter on EVERY phone and fax machine that is sharing the ADSL phone line. (Do not plug a filter between the wall jack and the X5.) Phone filters block the ADSL frequencies so that someone making a normal phone call will not hear modem noise on the line. They also keep phone conversations from interfering with ADSL performance.
You may have received ADSL phone filters with your X5. If you did not, or if you need more filters, they are available at most retail stores that carry consumer electronics.
For each filter, plug the phone or fax machine’s cord into the filter’s PHONE end and plug the filter’s LINE end into the wall jack.
Congratulations! You have installed the hardware. Now, continue with the next section, Establishing Communication.
