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 configuratio ns, DNS, and advanced DSL settings.

Installation Instructions

This chapter covers the basic instructions needed to install your
X5v, connect to the Internet, and place VoIP calls. If you
purchased an X5v Model 5565 and used its Quick Start for
Windows, please go to Chapter 2. Otherwise please continue
below.

What’s in the Package

Software CD-ROM

Phone Cord

Power Cube

Ethernet Cable

USB Cable

The CD contains the installation software, documentation,
warranty, and Customer Support information.

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 5

If anything is missing or damaged, contact Zoom Customer
Support or your retailer or distributor.

In addition, you may have:

• Phone-jack adapter to adapt the RJ-11 phone cord to a

different phone jack (certain units only)

• DSL line filter(s) (certain units only).

What You Will Need

•

A Macintosh, Linux, or Windows computer with an
Ethernet port, a Windows computer with a USB port, or a
network device like a wireless access point or hub.

•

An ADSL-enabled telephone wall jack to plug the X5v unit
into.

•

A telephone to plug into the X5v if you plan to use VoIP.

Installing the X5v involves several steps: Installing the Software,

Installing the Hardware, Configuring Internet Explorer,
Configuring ADSL, and Setting Up VoIP Service.

1.1 Installing the Software

Installing the software is only required for people connecting a
Windows computer directly to the X5v. All others should skip to
Step 1.2 below.

Windows 98/98SE, Me, 2000, and XP Users:
If your computer has an available Ethernet jack, we

recommend that you use that instead of the USB jack to
simplify installation.

If you need to use the X5v’s USB jack, you must remove any
previously installed USB modem drivers on your computer

before installing this software. To do this from your Windows
desktop, click the Start button, point to Settings, and select

Control Panel. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove
Programs, on the Install/Uninstall tab, select your old USB
modem from the list, and click Remove. Now continue below.

CD-ROM drive. The CD starts automatically and the Main
Menu opens. (Note: If the CD does not start automatically, on
the desktop, click the Start button, click Run, and then type
D:\setup.exe, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.)

Select your language and click the Installation Wizard button.

2222

The software installation proceeds automatically.

When the process is complete, you will be prompted to click

the CD from your computer.

1.2 Installing the Hardware

Important! Unplug or turn off the power to your
computer
install the X5v software

Note: If you are replacing an older DSL modem with an
X5v, you need to remove the old hardware now.

Tip:

If you have a cordless phone with one or more

handsets, plug the base station into the X5v’s PHONE
jack.
Note: If RJ-11 phone jacks are not used in your country,
you will need a phone adapter. Plug the adapter into the
X5v’s PHONE jack and plug your phone into the other
end.

Plug one end of the X5v’s phone cord into the X5v’s

bbbb

ADSL jack and the other end into the wall telephone jack
(the jack on the wall where you would normally plug in a
standard phone). This jack must be a jack that has been
connected to ADSL service.

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 7

If you are connecting the X5v directly to a computer:

cccc

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.

If you are connecting the X5v directly to a hub,

dddd

switch, wirelesss 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.

2222

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

IMPORTANT

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 72.

Turn 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.

Windows 2000 users: You may see a Digital Signature Not
Found dialog box. You can safely disregard this message and

click Yes.
Windows 98/Me users: Restart your computer if you are
prompted to do so.

4444

Phone 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 69 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

for DHCP (also known as a dynamic IP address) or for a static IP
address. Most DSL service providers use DHCP. There is typically
an extra charge for a static IP address, and you normally have to
make a special request to get one.

To set the X5vfor DHCP, on the Basic Setup menu, check

1111

the DHCP client enable box. Leave the Host Name field
blank.

To Set the X5v for Static IP Addressing, go to the X5v’s

1.5 Setting up VoIP Service

If you purchased an X5v Model 5565, your unit has been set up for
VoIP service, so continue at Section 1.6 Calling Tips below. If you
purchased another Model X5v, please go to Chapter 2 on page 32.

1.6 Calling Tips

X5v users can use phones plugged into the X5v to:

1) Make or receive a VoIP call. Your ADSL phone line will
remain open for calls, so using VoIP gives you many of the
benefits of having a second phone line.

2) Make or receive a “conventional” call.
Making a VoIP call to another X5v VoIP user: Pick up the

telephone that you plugged into the X5v. Dial # and wait for the
dial tone, and then dial the VoIP phone number you want to call.
Note that this number is not the same as a phone number reached
through the traditional public phone network. Your service
provider’s web site should include a directory of VoIP phone
numbers.

Making a VoIP call to another VoIP user who isn’t using an
X5v: You must begin your call by dialing a code for that person’s

VoIP service. You will have to ask the person for the code, or
check their service provider’s web site for directions.

Receiving incoming VoIP calls: When VoIP users call into your
VoIP number, you will hear a distinctive ring to alert you that you
are receiving a VoIP call.

Communicating with people who don’t have VoIP: You may
use VoIP to call any phone that can be called through the
traditional phone network. Your service provider may offer this as
an additional feature. Check with your service provider.

16 ADSL

X5v

User’s Guide

Making a conventional phone call: Pick up the telephone and
dial as you normally would. As long as you don’t dial # to indicate
that you are dialing a VoIP call, your calls will be routed and billed
as if you didn’t have VoIP, through your regular telephone service.

Note:

In the event of a power failure, the X5v routes all calls as
conventional calls.

Distinctive Ring and Dial Tone: The X5v’s ring and dial tone
sound different from your normal phone. This means that you can
easily tell by the ring that you are receiving a VoIP call. Perhaps
more important, when you dial # to make a VoIP call, you will
hear a different dial tone than you hear on the public phone
network, so that you can be sure you are making a VoIP call.

Speed dialing: You may program your phone to speed-dial VoIP
numbers. Just be sure to remember to start the VoIP numbers with

#
Redial: You may redial a VoIP number just as you would redial

any other number, using a redial feature on your handset.
Hook Flash: If you receive a second call while already engaged in

a VoIP call, you will hear a call waiting tone. Momentarily press the
hook button on your phone to talk to the second caller, and press
it again to go back to your first conversation. After you have
completed a VoIP call, you can press the hook button to get a
fresh VoIP dial tone and make another VoIP call without dialing #
Note that redial or speed dialing will not work in this case,
however. You must hang up for at least one second if you need to
make a conventional phone call.

VoIP-only Mode: If you want to make only VoIP calls from the
phone plugged into the X5v, you must switch the X5v to VoIP­only mode. On the X5v’s VoIP page, check the VoIP Only box.
All calls you dial from the phone attached to the X5v will be VoIP
calls, so you do not need to dial # first.

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 17

1.7 Playing 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 26.

•

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 peer­to-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
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.

, Dark Reign

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.

Important! If your computer already has firewall software
installed: If you have third-party firewall software installed on

your computer, such as the Windows XP firewall, you may need
to deactivate it before opening ports by setting up a virtual server
or a DMZ. If you don’t, your computer may block the ports you
are trying to open.

User’s Guide

Setting Up the X5v for Peer-to-Peer
Gaming and Mu ltiplayer Game
Hosting

Find out which ports need to be opened for gaming.

1111

Most peer-to-peer and multiplayer game manuals will tell you
exactly which port or ports need to be opened. If yours didn’t, you
may be able to look up the information at:

www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/app_port_list.htm

If you have found your games port settings, we recommend that
you print them out, write them down now, or keep the game
manual handy.

Different games require different numbers of ports to be open.
This can be a single port, or it can be a hundred ports or more.

Each required port needs to be set individually, so the more
ports that your game requires, the more time it will take to do
the configuration. Some games even use “dynamic” ports,

meaning that the ports used by the game are constantly changing,
so you can’t set the ports.

There is a setting that opens all your ports for gaming, called a
DMZ. If you can’t find the port settings in your game manual or

on the web site shown above, or if you have to open more than 20
ports (which is the maximum allowable), or if your game
documentation says that the game uses dynamic ports, or if you
don’t want to spend the time to open multiple ports, refer to the
DMZ instructions on page 44.

(Setting Up a Virtual Server)

WARNING:

Every time you open an additional port, it decreases the
effectiveness of your firewall, so the less ports you open the better.

Choose an IP address for Gaming.

2222

Click on the Zoom X5v icon on your desktop (or type 10.0.02 in
your Web browser just the way you would normally type a web
address) to get to the X5v’s Main Page. Click the Advanced
Setup icon, then click LAN Settings. There you will see the
starting and ending range of the X5v’s dynamic (DHCP) LAN IP
addresses. You need to choose an IP Address that is outside this

Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 19

range. Normally you should pick the next higher number. For
example, if the range shown is 10.0.0.4 to 10.0.0.15, your Host IP
Address should be the next IP address after 10.0.0.15, which would
be 10.0.0.16. Unless you have changed the X5v’s IP address
settings, which is very unlikely, just use the number 10.0.0.16. Write
down the number you choose for reference if you are not using

10.0.0.16. The rest of the instructions will assume that you are
using 10.0.0.16.
