4Phone filters are not absolutely required, but we HIGHLY

RECOMMEND that you install a filter on EVERY phone that is sharing the DSL phone line. (Do not plug a filter between the phone wall jack and the X5v.) Phone filters block the DSL frequencies so that someone making a normal phone call won’t hear noise on the line. They also keep phone conversations from interfering with DSL performance.

The X5v phone jack has a filter built-in, so there is no need for a filter on that phone.

You may have received DSL phone filters with your X5v. If you did not, or need more filters, they are available at most retail stores that carry consumer electronics.

For each additional phone, plug the phone’s cord into the filter’s PHONE end and plug the filter’s LINE end into the wall.

1.3 Configuring Internet Explorer

Macintosh and Linux users: Your Web browser is set up automatically, so you can skip this section. Turn to page 74 to make sure that your computer’s TCP/IP settings are configured correctly.

Windows users: Your software that you use to make an Internet connection must be set for a network connection, not a dial-up connection. The instructions below are for Internet Explorer, the most popular Web browser. If you are using Netscape Navigator or another browser, set it up now to use a network connection (this might be called a “Local Area Network” or “broadband” connection).

If you use Internet Explorer, you need Version 5 or later. Most people have the right version. If you don’t, we suggest you get a free upgrade. If you want to check your version number, open Internet Explorer, select Help, then About Internet Explorer.
