Once your initial computer has been successfully connected to the Web, you can now connect the other computers and/or a network device.

•To connect additional computers directly to the X5, see the next section.

•To connect a network device to the X5, see page 26.

To Connect Additional Computers

1 Shut down the computer you want to add to the X5. (This is important because the computer must locate the correct IP address for the modem. This is done when the computer is turned back on in step 3 below.)

2 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s LAN ports (1, 2, 3, or 4) and plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet port.

Note for Windows users:

At this point, you should not be connecting any of your additional computers using the X5 modem’s USB port. If you planned to use the USB port, it would already be connected to the computer on which you installed the software, as explained earlier in this user’s guide.

3 Turn on the computer.

4 Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address.

5 Repeat steps 1–4 for each computer you want to add.

Congratulations! You have completed all you need to do to get your additional computers on the Internet. You are done with this user’s guide. Enjoy your X5!
