(For reference, we have included a table that defines these back panel ports, or jacks; see page 39.)

 

a

Plug one end of the included power adapter into the

 

 

unit’s PWR jack and the other end into a power strip or

 

 

wall receptacle.

 

b

Turn the unit on by pushing the ON/OFF toggle switch.

 

 

The PWR light on the unit’s front panel turns on.

 

c

Plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the unit’s

 

 

ADSL jack and the other end into the ADSL wall jack.

 

d

Plug one end of the straight-through Ethernet (10BaseT)

 

 

cable into the modem’s ETHERNET jack and plug the

 

 

other end into your computer’s corresponding Ethernet

 

 

port.

 

Note: You can also attach the X4 to an access point or a

 

network hub via its ETHERNET jack and thereby connect

 

multiple computers.

 

If your hub has an uplink or daisy chain port, you can use

 

the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the

 

two.

 

If your hub has a numbered port or if you are using an

 

access point, you need a crossover Ethernet cable (sold

 

separately).

 

Throughout this manual, when we refer to an X4 Ethernet

 

connection, it should be understood that this connection may

 

be to a computer, access point, or hub.

3 Turn your computer back on.

The unit performs a startup sequence—the front panel LINK

 

light blinks. (For reference, we have included a table on page

39 that defines the X4’s front panel lights.) When the LINK light changes from blinking to solid, proceed to Establishing Communication with the X4 (page 10).
