cIf you are connecting the X5v directly to a computer: If possible, use your computer’s Ethernet port: Plug one end of the included Ethernet cable into one of the X5v’s LAN jacks (1, 2, 3, or 4) and plug the other end into the computer’s Ethernet port. You can plug in one computer per LAN jack.

If your computer doesn’t have an available Ethernet port, you can use a Windows computer’s USB port: Plug one end of the USB cable into the X5v’s USB jack and the other end into the computer’s USB port.

Note: You can connect multiple computers to the X5v using a combination of ports and share Internet access.

dIf you are connecting the X5v directly to a hub, switch, wireless access point, or other network device:

You can probably use the X5v’s straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the X5v’s LAN jack to the network device’s Ethernet port, which is typically called an Uplink or Expansion port.

The X5v’s cable may not work for some access points or other devices. In that case, you should purchase a Crossover Ethernet cable.

2Plug the included power cube into a power outlet and then into the X5v’s power (PWR) jack.

IMPORTANT:

Use only the power cube shipped with the X5v. Other power cubes may damage your hardware.

The front panel LINK light should blink during this step. When this physical connection step is complete, the LINK light should change from blinking to solid. If it doesn’t, refer to page 77.

3Turn the computer on.

If you are using the USB option, a Found New Hardware box should display, showing the progress of the installation. Follow the prompts.

Windows XP users: You may see Hardware Installation disclaimer boxes regarding Windows logo testing. You can safely disregard these messages and click Continue Anyway.
