X5v, you must switch the X5v to VoIP-only Mode and set it to receive PSTN calls. All calls that you dial from the phone attached to the X5v will be VoIP calls so you do not need to dial # first. For additional information about this feature and how to use it, see Voice over IP options on page 36.
1.7Playing Online Games Using Your X5v
Setting up the X5v for online gaming depends on what you want to do:
•If you have Xbox Live, go to page 27.
•If you have PlayStation 2, go to page 27.
•If you have another online game, continue below.
Do I Need To Do Anything?
There are only two cases where you need to set up your X5v for online gaming.
—If you are playing a “peer-to-peer” or “head-to-head” game over the Internet, you always have to set up the X5v unless you linked up to your partner by going to a web site. A peer- to-peer game is a game where two players are competing directly against one another. Popular peer-to-peer games include Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, Dark Reign 2, and Unreal Tournament. If you are unsure whether your game is a peer-to-peer game check the game instructions.
—If you want to play a multiplayer game and you want to host the game. Popular multiplayer games include Half Life, Diablo II, Delta Force, Hexen II, Myth, Quake II, and Warcraft II, III.
In both these cases you will need to open one or more ports in the X5v’s built-in firewall as described below, so that the firewall doesn’t block the other players. The two ways to accomplish this are to Set up a Virtual Server if you only need to open a few ports, or to Set up a DMZ, which opens all the X5v’s ports.
