Appendix B

Online Gaming and the X5

Using Your X5 with Xbox® Live

You should have already completed the Quick Start Instructions on page 6. Note: Windows users connecting directly to the X5 should use the USB connection, not Ethernet. No special settings are required to use Xbox Live—just be sure to enter the login User Name and Password supplied by your ISP on the X5’s Basic Setup page. Once installation is complete, follow these steps.

Update the Xbox Dashboard: Make sure you have your Xbox Live Starter Kit at hand. Insert the Xbox Live CD into your Xbox. Once the upgrade is complete, the main menu will include an Xbox Live entry.

Connect the X5 and the Xbox: Using the straight-through Ethernet cable that came with your X5 modem, plug one end into the X5’s Ethernet jack and the other end into the Xbox’s jack. Insert the Xbox Communicator module into the Xbox Controller expansion slot (top slot) and then insert the headset plug into the Communicator module.

Activate your Xbox Live account: The Xbox Live CD should still be in your Xbox. We recommend that you watch a video that explains the installation process: Select Xbox Live from the menu. Then, from the Dashboard, select Xbox Live and follow the prompts. Note: You will need your subscription code to activate your account—this number is located on the CD’s sleeve. (If you require more detailed instructions, please refer to your Xbox Live documentation.)

That’s it! Load one of the demo games included on your Xbox Live CD or use any other Xbox Live-enabled game to begin international online gaming.
