•If you will be connecting a network device (such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or switch): You must install the software on a Windows computer that will be directly connected to the X5. This means that if you have a network device, you should choose a computer to connect to the modem (the actual physical connection will be made later in this user’s guide) and install the software on it. For most users, this will probably be the computer that is closest to the ADSL-enabled phone jack. If you were already planning to connect multiple computers directly to the X5 (in addition to a network device), review the previous two bullets to determine which computer to install the software on.

Windows computer users MUST install the software BEFORE installing the hardware.

Important!

If you need to use the X5’s USB option, you must remove any existing USB modem drivers on your Windows computer before installing this software. On the desktop, click the Start button, and then—depending on your operating system—either click Control Panel, or click Settings and then Control Panel. In the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs. On the Add/Remove Program Properties dialog box, select the USB modem you are removing on the Install/Uninstall tab, click Remove, and then click OK.

1 Turn on your computer (if it is not on already).

2 Insert the supplied CD into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. The CD should start automatically and the Language Selection screen should appear. (If the CD does not start automatically, on the desktop, click the Start button, click Run, and then type D:\setup.exe, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.)

3 Select your language. The Main Menu screen opens.
