please see the User’s Guide for instructions.
•
An ADSL-enabled telephone jack to plug the X5v unit into.
•
A telephone to plug into the X5v if you plan to use VoIP.
Installing the X5v involves five steps: Installing the Software,
Installing the Hardware, Configuring Internet Explorer,
Configuring ADSL, and Setting Up VoIP Service.
Step 1: Installing the Software
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. On the 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.

Page 4
the wall where you would normally plug in a standard phone).
This jack must be a jack that has been connected to ADSL
service.
cccc
If possible, connect the X5v using 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.
If your computer doesn’t have an available Ethernet port,
you can use your 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.
Plug the included power cube into a power outlet and then
2222
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 the
Connection Troubleshooting Tips on page 12.

3333 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.
4444Phone filters are not absolutely required, but we HIGHLY
RECOMMEND that you install a filter on EVERY phone
4ADSL X5v Quick Start
Page 5
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.
Step 3: Configuring Internet
Explorer
The 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.
Your version number is right under the Microsoft Internet
Explorer logo. You can ignore all the numbers after the period
following the first digit.

Encapsulation setting, you must check now to make sure that
your IP Addressing is correctly set if you haven’t already done
so. See Setting IP Addressing below. If there are no more
settings shown for your service provider, and you cannot
connect, refer to the Troubleshooting Tips on page 12.
Now jump back to Step 5.
8888
Setting IP Addressing
If the Encapsulation setting that you entered on the Basic Setup
menu started with either 1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed, the X5v
can be set 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.
1111To set the X5v for DHCP, on the Basic Setup menu, check
the DHCP client enable box. Leave the Host Name field
blank.
To set the X5v for Static IP Addressing, go to the X5v’s
Advanced Settings page and click WAN Settings. Enter the
static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
assigned to you by your service provider, and click Save
Changes. Then go back to the Advanced Settings page and
click DNS. Check the User Configuration box, enter the
DNS Server IP address assigned to you by your service
provider, and click Add. Do not change any other fields!
2222Click Save Changes, then Write Settings to Flash and
Reboot, and then Confirm.
3333 Resume where you left off (either Step 4 on page 9 or Step
5 on page 10).

Connection Troubleshooting Tips
If the X5v’s LINK light continually blinks and does not stay solidly
lit, make sure that:
•
The RJ-11 phone cord is firmly plugged into the wall jack and
the ADSL port on the back of the X5v (not the PHONE
port).
•
The jack that the phone cord is connected to is enabled for
DSL. You cannot use a standard telephone jack for DSL
service unless your service provider has activated it for DSL.
•
The X5v’s ADSL Handshake Protocol setting may need to be
changed. The X5v uses a MultiMode setting to automatically
connect to most types of DSL service providers’ equipment.
You may want to try forcing the different protocols to try to
connect. In the Advanced Setup page, click ADSLConfiguration to view the Handshake Protocol. One at a
time, try each of the other settings, clicking Save Changesand Reboot.
If the X5v’s LINK light is solidly lit but you can’t connect to the
Internet, make sure that:
•
You are using the correct VPI/VCI and encapsulation settings.
•
You have typed your DSL Username and Password correctly.
•
Your service provider’s DSL connection is functioning
properly by placing a call to customer support.
•
Your Ethernet or USB are okay. Check that the correct X5v
front panel light is lit (LAN or USB). This will confirm that
the connection is good.
•
Your computer’s TCP/IP properties are correct.
Open the Windows TCP/IP Properties dialog box (doubleclick the My Computer icon on your desktop and select Help
if you don’t know how to locate the TCP/IP Properties box).
If you are using DHCP (most users): Make sure that “Obtain
an IP address automatically” and “Obtain a DNS server
address automatically” are selected. All fields should be
blank.
12ADSL X5v Quick Start
Page 13
If you are using a static IP address: Make sure that “Use the
following IP address” and “Use the following DNS server
addresses” are selected. Both the Default Gateway IP address
and the DNS server IP address must match the X5v’s LAN IP
address: 10.0.0.2.
Step 5: Setting Up VoIP Service
Global Village’s™ VoIP service is included with your X5v. With
Global Village, you can make free VoIP calls to other Global
Village users (and to most other VoIP users) anywhere in the
world. You can also use Global Village to make low-cost calls to
virtually any phone in the world. With Global Village, there’s no
required monthly fee. You only pay for the calls you make.
We recommend that you first test your connection. Dial # and wait
for the dial tone, and then dial 1 2 3
An automated attendant will provide your seven-digit Global
Village VoIP telephone number.
To set up your personal Global Village account, click the Voice
over IP icon at the top of any page of the Zoom DSL VoIP
Gateway Web-Console, and then click the Global Village
Features button at the bottom of the page.
The first time you enter the Global Village web site, you will be
prompted for your name, country, email address, and a password.
13
Page 14
To let you try out the service, we’ve included 10 minutes of free
calling to anywhere in the USA, UK, and more than a dozen other
countries.
From the web site, you can also review and change your Global
Village account, view logs of incoming and outgoing calls, access
your phone directory, and take advantage of a number of other
features including call conferencing, call forwarding, call blocking,
and voice mail.
Using the Global Village Service
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 Global Village user or other
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. There is a directory of VoIP phone numbers on
www.globalvillage.com
Receiving incoming VoIP calls: Other Global Village users and
many other VoIP users can call into your Global Village number.
You will hear a distinctive ring to alert you that you are receiving a
VoIP call. Check at www.globalvillage.com for the latest
information on other VoIP services that can connect to Global
Village.
Communicating with people who don’t have VoIP: You can
use VoIP to call any phone that can be called through the
traditional phone network by subscribing to the Global Village
service. See the Global Village web site for dialing plans and rates.
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.
14ADSL X5v Quick Start
Page 15
Note:
In the event of a power failure, the X5v routes all calls as
conventional calls.
Tips for Making VoIP 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.

To Play 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 22.
•
If you have PlayStation 2, go to page 23.
•
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.
, Dark Reign
— If you want to play a multiplayer gameandyou 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.
16ADSL X5v Quick Start
Page 17
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.
Setting Up the X5v for Peer-to-Peer
Gaming and Multiplayer Game Hosting
(Setting Up a Virtual Server)
Find out which ports need to be opened for your game.
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:
If you have found your games port settings, we recommend that
you print them out, write them downnow, or keep the gamemanual 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 in the manual on the CD.
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 AdvancedSetup 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
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.

This is where you’ll need to enter the information that you got
from your gaming manual or the
www.practicallynetworked.com web site. Unfortunately, you
can only configure one port at a time. Each time you configurea new port, your computer will reboot when you hit Write
Settings to Flash and Reboot.
If you have more than a few ports, it could take a long time. That’s
why some people choose to set up a DMZ, which opens all yourports at once. If you’d like to set up a DMZ, refer to the DMZ
instructions in the manual on the CD. Remember, a DMZ is easy

DSL Internet Settings Tables
These tables are for customers whose service providers do not
supply them with the DSL settings to connect to the Internet.
Many DSL providers use different settings depending on the region
in which they are operating, which is why there may be more than
one setting for your service provider. We post updated tables on
our web site. If your country isn’t listed, please consult

U.S. FCC Part 68 Statement
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. The
unit bears a label on the back which contains among other information a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following standard jack types for network connection: RJ11C.
This equipment contains an FCC compliant modular jack. It is designed to be connected to the telephone
network or premises wiring using compatible modular plugs and cabling which comply with the
requirements of FCC Part 68 rules.
The Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN, is used to determine the number of devices which may be
connected to the telephone line. An excessive REN may cause the equipment to not ring in response to
an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all equipment on a line should not exceed five
(5.0).
In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
can temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company will try to warn you in advance of any
such disconnection, but if advance notice isn't practical, it may disconnect the service first and notify you
as soon as possible afterwards. In the event such a disconnection is deemed necessary, you will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
From time to time, the telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, or operations
which could affect the operation of this equipment. If this occurs, the telephone company is required to
provide you with advance notice so you can make the modifications necessary to obtain uninterrupted
service.
There are no user serviceable components within this equipment. See Warranty flyer for repair or
warranty information.
It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States to use a computer or other electronic device
to send any message via a telephone facsimile unless such message clearly contains, in a margin at the top
or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent
and an identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone
number of the sending machine or of such business, other entity, or individual. The telephone number
provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long distance
transmission charges. Telephone facsimile machines manufactured on and after December 20, 1992, must
clearly mark such identifying information on each transmitted message. Facsimile modem boards
manufactured on and after December 13, 1995, must comply with the requirements of this section.
This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company.

Industry Canada CS03 Statement
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing the equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities
of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable
method of concern. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination
on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of
the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
