Overview
The X5v is an ADSL modem, a gateway/router, and a VoIP telephone adapter, all contained in one device. The ADSL modem gives you a connection to the Internet through your Internet service provider. The gateway/router provides an interface between the Internet and your own local network. It also includes an advanced firewall, which allows you to control Internet access from your local network, and which protects your local network from unwanted Internet traffic. The VoIP telephone adapter lets you make telephone calls over the Internet, using a normal telephone that you plug into the X5v.
Important! Before You Begin
Before installing your X5V, you must have DSL service enabled on your telephone line. To do this, you need to sign up with a DSL service provider.
This User Guide contains installation instructions and explains how to configure the X5v for some popular applications. Most users should go now to the next chapter, Installation Instructions.
Note: If you are an Internet service provider, a VoIP service provider, or a system administrator, additional information is available in the X5v Technical Reference Manual at www.zoom.com
The Technical Reference manual includes information such as voice parameters, dialing plan configurations, DNS, and advanced DSL settings.
