Overview
This User Guide provides instructions for setting up your X6,
connecting the X6 to wired and wireless computers on a network,
and securing your network. There are also instructions for setting
up the X6 for gaming.
For most customers, Chapter 1 covers what you need to get
connected to the Internet. Chapter 2 applies if you want to set up a
network. Chapter 3 provides security information, and Chapter 4
provides what you need for gaming.
Chapter 5 Advanced Setup is primarily for System Administrators.
This chapter explains how to use advanced features of the X6 such
as adding extra security with firewall filtering, backing up and
restoring the X6 configuration, updating the X6 firmware, and
creating a fixed IP address.
You can find new and updated information about the X6 at the
Zoom Web site:

Before You Begin
Before you begin installing the X6 modem using this guide, you
must have the following available to you:
ADSL service enabled on your telephone line. To do this, you
need to sign up with an ADSL service provider. Once this
service is enabled, you should have an ADSL-enabled
telephone wall jack to plug the X6 modem into. (Your service
provider may refer to ADSL service as DSL service).
One or more computers or laptops that you want to connect
to the Internet. The X6 supports Macintosh, Linux, and
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP operating systems.
Any computer or laptop that you want to connect without
wires to your network. These must be equipped with a wireless
adapter or have built-in wireless capabilities. The X6 supports
802.11b and 802.11g compatible adapters.
Any computer that you want to physically connect to your X6
LAN port. The X6 has four LAN ports to which you can
connect devices. A computer must have an Ethernet port to
make these connections.
Additional Ethernet cables. If you plan to connect more than
one computer directly to the modem, you will need additional
Ethernet cables to make the connection. The modem supports
up to four direct connections with its four LAN ports.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions

Installing the X6
Installing the X6 involves four steps: Installing the Software,
Installing the Hardware, Establishing Communication, and
Setting Up a Wired Network.
Step 1: Installing the Software
Note:
This section is for Windows computer users who did not already
run the Install Assistant on the CD. If you already ran the Install
Assistant or are using a Macintosh or Linux computer, skip this
section and begin with the next one, Installing the Hardware.
Regardless of how many computers you plan to use with the X6,
you only have to install the software on one of them.
You will install the software on a Windows computer that you
directly connect to the X6, and then use that computer to configure
the modem. This computer must have an Ethernet port. If it does
not, you can purchase an Ethernet card (sometimes called a
Network Interface Card or NIC) to add an Ethernet port.
Important!
If possible, use a computer that is centrally located in your home or
office and that has easy access to an ADSL line. A central location
helps assure good wireless performance. If you do not have a
desktop computer located centrally in your home (for example, it is
in the basement), or you only have notebook computers, you
should still directly connect this desktop computer or one of your
notebooks to the X6 to configure it. Once the X6 is set up and your
Internet connection is working, you can unplug the computer from
the unit and move the X6 to a more central location.

Step 2: Installing the Hardware
Windows users only: Be sure that you have already installed
the software BEFORE beginning this section. Software
installation is not required for Macintosh and Linux
computers.
1 Shut down and power off your computer.
¾ For Windows users, this is the computer on which you just
installed the software.
¾ For Macintosh or Linux users, this can be any one of the
computers that you plan to use with the X6. In a typical
situation, this would be the computer that is closest to
your ADSL wall jack.
2 Rotate the antenna on the back of the modem to a vertical
position.
3 Connect the modem to the computer’s Ethernet port.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into any one of the
X6 modem’s LAN ports (LAN 1, LAN 2, LAN 3, or LAN 4)
and plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet port.
4 Plug the power cube into a power strip or wall outlet and then
plug the power cube’s other end into the modem’s power
(PWR) jack.
Important!
Only use the power cube shipped with the X6. Other power
cubes may damage your hardware.
5 After you plug in the power cube, the PWR and WLAN lights
on the front panel of the modem should become steady on,
and the LINK light should blink. If the PWR light does not
turn on, make sure there is power at the wall outlet or power
strip where you plugged in the power cube.
6 Turn the computer on.
7 Plug one end of the supplied phone cord into the modem’s
ADSL port and the other into the ADSL wall jack. The
blinking LINK light should become steady on. If it does not,
refer to Troubleshooting on page 106.

Note:
In some countries, including the UK, the modem comes with a
splitter. Plug the splitter into the wall jack with ADSL service.
Then plug the supplied phone cord between the modem's
ADSL jack and the splitter's MODEM jack.
We recommend that you put an ADSL filter on every
phone connected to the ADSL phone line. DO NOT put a
filter between the X6 and the wall jack that it is connected to.
If you are using a splitter, you can plug a phone into the
splitter's PHONE jack, which has a built-in filter.
Congratulations! You have installed the hardware. Now
continue with the next section Step 3: Establishing
Communication.
Step 3: Establishing
Communication
Important!
Macintosh and Linux users must make sure that the computer’s
TCP/IP settings are configured properly BEFORE starting this
section. See Macintosh TCP/IP Settings on page 100 or Linux
TCP/IP Settings on page 102 for instructions.
You must set up the X6 so that it can communicate with your
Internet service provider. To do this, you must use the Zoom
Configuration Manager.
1 Close all programs including antivirus software and pop-up
blockers.
2 Log into the Zoom Configuration Manager from the
computer on which you installed the X6 software:
a Open your Web browser and, in its address bar, type
http://10.0.0.2 and then press the Enter key on your
keyboard.
Tip!
If you are using a Windows computer, a Zoom icon
should have been placed on your desktop automatically.
Instead of typing the address above in your Web browser,
you can double-click the Zoom icon.
b On the Enter Network Password dialog box, type the
following user name and password in lowercase then click
OK. (The User Name and Password you enter here are
not the same as the User Name and Password that your
Internet service provider may have given you.)
User Name: admin
Password: zoomadsl
If you are not prompted for a User Name and Password,
do the following in this order: Recheck all connections;
restart the modem and computer; and reset the modem by
inserting a paper clip into the Reset pinhole in the
modem’s back panel and press it three times.
Important:
For security, choose your own password after the setup is
complete. See Changing Your Password on page 89.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions

2 After you log in, use the Basic Setup page to configure the
modem so it can connect with your Internet service provider.
Do the following:
a
b
Enter your Protocol, Encapsulation, VPI, and VCI
settings in the appropriate boxes. Your service provider
should supply these values. If you do not know these
settings, refer to the tables starting on page 93.
NAT (Network Address Translation) is Enabled by
default. This feature lets multiple users access the Internet
sharing a single IP address. Enabled is typically the right
setting. Select Disable in the unlikely event that you want
to assign different public IP addresses to each network
user.

c Depending on the Protocol setting you selected the
bottom half of the page will change so that you can enter
additional information.
If you selected PPPoA or PPPoE, enter your ADSL
Username and Password in the appropriate boxes.
Your Internet service provider should have given this
information to you. (Your Username is typically your
email address or the characters preceding the @ sign
in your email address. This is NOT the same
Username and Password that you used earlier to open
the Zoom Configuration Manager.)
If you selected 1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed, you
have the option of using either dynamic or static IP
addressing. Depending on your situation, select the
appropriate option button:
− [MOST USERS] Ensure that Obtain an IP
address Automatically is selected if you are
using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (also
known as DHCP or dynamic IP addressing). This
option is selected by default because most Internet
service providers use DHCP.
− Select Use the following IP Address only if you
are using a static IP address. (You should know if
you are using static IP addressing. There is
typically an extra charge for a static IP address and
you usually have to make special arrangements
with your Internet service provider to get one.)
Then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway, and DNS that you plan to use.
Click the Save Changes button, then click the
Write Settings to Flash button.

3 Verify that you Internet connection is working. Open your
Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address. If you
connect successfully, you are ready to set up the rest of your
network.
(If you do not connect, see Appendix D on page 106).
Tip!
If you configured the X6 using a notebook computer, you can keep
it plugged in or you can disconnect it from the unit’s LAN port. As
long as the X6 remains plugged into an ADSL wall jack and a
power source, the X6 can function as a stand-alone device. You can
then make the notebook part of your wireless network.
Congratulations! You have established communication and your
computer is now connected to the Internet. Now continue with
Step 4: Setting Up a Wired or Wireless Network.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions
17
Step 4: Setting Up a Wired or
Wireless Network
Once a computer that is directly connected to the X6 modem is
able to browse the Web, you know for certain that your Web
connection is working. Now you can set up the rest of your
network.
It is up to you whether you want to have some computers
connected directly to the X6 and others connected wirelessly. The
X6 supports both wired and wireless connections. You can have up
to 253 connections, four of which can be wired directly through
the X6’s four LAN ports. You can also plug a network device
(such as a hub, switch, or router) into one of the LAN ports.
To set up your network, you can do any or all of the following, in
any order that you choose:
•
•
•
If you want to connect additional computers directly to the X6,
see To Connect Additional Wired Computers below.
If you want to connect a hub, switch, or router directly to the
X6, see To Connect a Network Device on page 18.
If you want to connect additional computers using a wireless
network, see Setting Up Your Wireless Network on page 20.
To Connect Additional Wired
Computers
You can connect up to four computers that have Ethernet ports
directly to the X6.
1 Shut down and power off the computer you want to connect
to the X6. (This is important because the computer must locate
the correct IP address for the modem. This is done when the
computer is turned back on in step 3 below.)
2 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s
LAN ports and plug the other end into the computer’s
Ethernet port.
ADSL X6 User Guide
18
3 Turn on the computer.
4 Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your
Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
5 Repeat steps 1–4 for each computer you want to add.
To Connect a Network Device
You can use one of the LAN ports on the X6 to plug in a network
device (for example, a hub, switch, or router).
1 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s
LAN ports and the other end into the network device’s
Ethernet port. (For a hub or a switch, this is typically called an
Uplink or Expansion port. For a router, this is typically called
a WAN port.)
2 Set up your network. Refer to the documentation provided
with your particular network device for instructions on how to
do this.
3 Once your network is set up, reboot any computer that is part
of the network.
4 Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open the
Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator) on each computer and try to connect to a familiar
Web address.
Congratulations! You have set up your wired devices. If you
have wireless devices that you want to add to your network, go to
Setting Up Your Wireless Network on page 20.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions
19
Universal Plug and Play
The X6 supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™). This means
that other devices plugged into your computer or network (for
example, a gaming application, router, or stand-alone firewall) that
use UPnP should automatically detect the X6 and make the needed
configurations for them to work together. There is no setup for
you to do.

Setting Up Your Wireless
Network
This chapter discusses how to set up a wireless network using
wireless adapters and/or computers that have built-in wireless
capabilities. Chapter 3 provides information about
implementing network security.
Note that for each computer added to your wireless network, you
will need to take appropriate steps for setting up that computer. To
do that, select one of the three possibilities for that computer
below:
1. Some newer Windows XP notebooks and desktops have built-
in wireless networking capabilities and do not require the
installation of a wireless component. If this is the case, you
should set up that computer’s wireless connection using
Windows XP. See Connecting a Windows XP Computer
with Built-in Wireless Capabilities.
Tip!
To see if your notebook has built-in wireless capabilities: On
the Windows desktop, click Start, click Connect to, and then
locate the Wireless Network Connection option. If Connect
to does not appear, or if there is no Wireless Network
Connection option, then your notebook does not have
wireless capabilities.
2. Some desktop and notebook computers may have built-in wireless
networking capabilities, but do not use Windows XP. If this is so,
set up your computer’s wireless connection using Connecting a
Wireless-enabled Computer to the X6 on page 21.
Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Wireless Network
21
3. Some desktop and notebook computers may need a wireless
network adapter installed. This can be a USB adapter, PC Card
adapter, or PCI adapter. When you install the adapter, make
sure that it is set to infrastructure or access point mode
(NOT ad-hoc or peer-to-peer mode). If you need help
installing your wireless adapter or setting its mode, refer to the
documentation that came with it. After you install the adapter,
see Connecting a Wireless-enabled Computer to the X6.
Connecting a Wireless-enabled
Computer to the X6
1 Go to the wireless-enabled computer that you want to add to
the network. The computer should have software that will let it
perform a site search to scan for available wireless networks
in your area. When the SSID (Service Set Identifier) of your X6
wireless network appears in the list—the SSID is zoom—
select it as the network you want to use to connect to the
Internet.
Tip!
For most wireless adapters, you will use its wireless
configuration manager software and click a Scan button or
select a Site Scan, Scan Networks, or other similarly named
tab to do a site search. If you need help, refer to the
documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
ADSL X6 User Guide
22
There are several site scan issues you should be aware of:
¾ If you installed a wireless adapter on a Windows XP
computer, Windows XP may try to automatically configure
the adapter (rather than let you use the software provided
with the wireless adapter). You will know this is happening
because you will be prompted with a message about one or
more wireless networks being available. You will also be
able to click a link to open the Wireless Network
Connection Properties dialog box. If this happens, click
the link, and clear the Use Windows to configure my
wireless network settings check box then click OK. You
can then use the software provided with your wireless
adapter without interruption from Windows XP.
¾ More than one wireless network may appear in the list.
These are other wireless networks that are within range of
your network. Your neighbors for instance may be within
range of your network. Each wireless network has a
channel associated with it. We recommend there be at least
a five-channel difference between your network and those
of your neighbors. Having less than a five-channel
difference may result in interference with your connection.
By default, the X6 uses channel 10. If you need to change
this channel, you must do so using the Wireless Setup
page of the Zoom Configuration Manager.
¾ If you want to secure your wireless network so it won’t be
accessible by others, you should specify security settings.
To learn how, see Setting Wireless Security on page 26.
(By default, the wireless connections provided by the X6
do not have any security applied.)
2 Test your wireless connections. From each desktop or
notebook computer that you set up, open your Web browser
(for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and try
to connect to a familiar Web address.
If you connect successfully, you are ready to browse the Web!
Important!
If you want to add security to your network, see Setting Wireless
Security on page 26.

Setting Wireless Security
When you first set up your X6 wireless network, security is turned off
by default. This means that your wireless signal is not encrypted and
that anyone with compatible wireless technology can access your
computer network and the Internet using your wireless connection.
This chapter explains how to set up wireless security to protect your
network and Internet connection.
Overview
To set up wireless security, you will create and enter a unique
passphrase or an alphanumeric key. Once entered, only devices
with the proper key or passphrase will be allowed to establish a
connection to the network.
There are two basic ways to configure and implement a passphrase
or key. They are WPA (WiFi Protected Access) or WPA2 and
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64 and 128 bit). WPA2 is best,
but you can use it only if all your wireless devices support the
802.11g profile.
You can check to see if all other clients that you plan to put on the
network support WPA2 or WPA. You can do this by checking the
manual that came with each device or by checking the
configuration software for the installed device. Look under
Security or Encryption or Setup or Advanced Features. If all
the clients support WPA2 or WPA, proceed with Setting Up
Security Using WPA2 or WPA. If they do not, skip to Setting
Up Security Using WEP.
Setting Up Security Using WPA2
or WPA
WPA2 and WPA use a passphrase that you choose and enter on
the X6 and other wireless devices on the network (clients) to set up
security. To use WPA2 or WPA, all of the wireless devices on your
network must support that encryption method.
1 Check to see that all other clients that you plan to put on the
network support WPA2 or WPA. If they do not, skip to
Setting Up Security Using WEP.
2 Click the Wireless icon in the Zoom Configuration Manager.
This will open the Wireless Setup page. Go to Encryption
(which should say None) and select WPA2 or WPA from the
drop-down menu. A new fill-in box labeled WPA Passphrase
will open directly below the Encryption box.
3 Choose and enter a Passphrase. You can enter a word or
phrase, or for greater security you can enter a combination of
numbers and letters. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and can
be up to 8 characters.
Chapter 3: Setting Wireless Security
27
ADSL X6 User Guide
28
4 Every wireless network client needs to be set individually by
entering the Passphrase on all wireless devices on the
network. Open the software that came with the device, which
should be running on the computer where the device is
installed. Find the configuration menu for security, choose
WPA2 or WPA, and enter the Passphrase, exactly as you
entered it on the X6 Wireless Setup page.
Your security setup configuration is now complete!

The X6 and Online Gaming
This chapter covers the set up of the X6 for online gaming with
a desktop, notebook, Xbox® Live, or Playstation® 2.
Do I Need to Do Anything?
There are three cases where you need to set up your modem in
order to play online games:
•
•
•
If you are using your computer to play a peer-to-peer or head-
to-head game over the Internet, you always have to set up the
modem unless you linked up to your partner by going to a
Web site. A peer-to-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,
Dark Reign 2, and Unreal Tournament. If you are unsure
whether your game is a peer-to-peer game, check the game
instructions.
If you are using your computer to play a multi-player game
and you want to host the game. Popular multi-player games
include Half Life, Diablo II, Delta Force, Hexen II, Myth,
Quake II, and Warcraft II, III.
If you are playing an online game using Xbox® Live or
PlayStation® 2.
In all three cases you will need to do the steps described in the
next section, Setting Up the X6 for Online Gaming.
ADSL X6 User Guide

Setting Up the X6 for Online
Gaming
Setting up the X6 for online gaming involves two basic steps:
Choosing an IP Address for Gaming and Setting Up a Virtual
Server or DMZ. This section provides instructions for doing these
tasks on your computer, Xbox®, or Playstation® 2.
Step 1: Choosing an IP Address
for Gaming
You need to make sure that the computer or gaming system you
use for playing games always has the same IP address. By default,
the X6 assigns addresses dynamically (using Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol or DHCP) to the devices on the local area
network whenever they reboot. Therefore, the addresses won’t
necessarily always be the same. The modem, however, can be set
up to assign the same address to your computer or gaming system
every time.
To ensure that your computer or gaming system always uses the
same address, follow the steps below.
1 If you are using Xbox or PlayStation 2, connect the device to
your modem with an Ethernet cable. On your TV screen,
locate Network Settings and select Connect.
2 Click the Advanced Setup icon in the Zoom Configuration
Manager.
3 On the Advanced Setup page, click the LAN Configuration
button. Next click the Add DHCP Fixed Host button. The
Create New DHCP Server Fixed Host page appears:
4 Before you can enter an IP address, you need to enter the
MAC (Media Access Control) address of your computer or
gaming system. Follow the next set of instructions for your
gaming system to find the gaming system’s MAC address.
Chapter 4: The X6 and Online Gaming

If you are using a computer to play an online
game:
¾ If you know the name of your computer or if you have
only one computer connected, you can find the MAC
address under DHCP Clients at the bottom of the Create
New DHCP Server Fixed Host page. You can also find
the MAC address on the System Status page. Click the
System Status icon and scroll down until you see DHCP
Client Status.
¾ If you do not know the name of your computer or you
have more than one computer connected, follow these
steps to find the MAC address:

to open the Command or MS-DOS window.
In the Command Prompt or MS-DOS window
(after C:\> or C:\WINDOWS>), type ipconfig, leave
a space, then type /all
It should look like this: ipconfig /all
Press Enter. The MAC address is displayed as the 12-
digit Physical Address or Internet Adapter address.
Go to Step 5.

6 Click Save Changes and then Write Setting to Flash to save
the IP address to permanent memory. Now your computer or
gaming system will always be assigned this address.
ADSL X6 User Guide

Step 2: Setting Up a Virtual
Server or DMZ
You set up either a virtual server or a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
so that the modem’s firewall won’t block the other players from
your system during your gaming. The main difference between the
virtual server and the DMZ is the amount of access someone has
to your system.
A virtual server will allow access to your computer on certain ports.
A port is like a channel that is used by applications (such as games)
to communicate on. For example, the directions for the game you
want to play over the Internet might tell you to open up port 6000.
A DMZ differs from a virtual server in that it allows access on all
ports to the computer. Because of this, DMZ's are less secure than
virtual servers and should be used with caution on your computer.
For Xbox® Live and Playstation®2, a DMZ is OK since security is
not as much of an issue as it is for your computer.

If you are playing a peer-to-peer or multi-player game on
your computer, go to Setting Up a Virtual Server or DMZ
on Your Computer on page 39.
If you are using Xbox Live, go to Setting Up a DMZ on a
Xbox® Live page 41.
If you are using Playstation 2, go to Setting Up a DMZ on a
Playstation® 2 on page 43.
Setting Up a Virtual Server or DMZ on
Your Computer
Note:
If you have third-party firewall software, such as the Windows XP
firewall, installed on your computer, you may need to deactivate it
before setting up the virtual server or DMZ. Otherwise your
computer may block the ports you want to open.

Using Advanced Setup
Advanced Setup is primarily for technically advanced users. For
most people, the options that are set by default when the X6 is
installed are sufficient.
However, those who want or need to change the X6 settings
can do so using the Advanced Setup page in the Zoom
Configuration Manager. This chapter explains the advanced
options and features of the X6 modem and how to apply them
to your network.
The information in this chapter applies to you if:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Your Internet service provider instructs you to enable,
disable, or change the default settings for your X6
You need to change your Wide Area Network settings
You want to change the default firewall settings to block
particular IP addresses and intrusive hosts
You want to change your ADSL password
You have customized your configuration and want to back
it up for future use or apply it to additional modems
You want to set up fixed IP addresses for your computer(s)
Note: Users who want to set up Quality of Service (described
in this section) can do so more easily using the Zoom Install
Assistant.
Viewing the Advanced Setup
Options
You open the Advanced Setup page by clicking the Advanced
Setup icon at the top of the Zoom Configuration Manager. The
page opens and displays buttons organized into three groups:
Configuration, Status, and Administration:
Configuration Options
When you click a Configuration button, a page opens to the
option you selected. The following table describes each option and
the tasks you can perform.
This button… Opens a page that lets you…
WAN
Configuration
Specify how the Wide Area Network (WAN) ADSL
setup is configured. Some of the values need to
be supplied by your ISP/DSL provider.

Firewall Define an additional layer of security for the
computers in your network. For example, if you
create a DMZ interface using the Virtual
Server/DMZ page (see below), you can enable
the firewall filtering and add a security policy that
blocks certain protocols from reaching the DMZ
machine.
ADSL
Configuration
Adjust the ADSL settings on your modem.
Typically, you do not need to change these ADSL
settings unless instructed by your service
provider.
Ethernet
Configuration
View and change the settings on the Ethernet
ports on your X6. Typically you should not need to
change these settings.
DNS Allows you to specify multiple DNS servers.
Typically, most users do not need to enter a DNS
server unless instructed by their ISP.
LAN
Configuration
Specify the settings that control the connection
between the X6 modem and your Ethernet jack.
Set a fixed IP address for your computer.
Routing Table Set up the routes on which you want the X6 to
send data that it receives on a particular interface,
such as a LAN or Ethernet interface. Routes
specify the IP address of the next device,
interface, or Internet destination to forward data
to, based on the ultimate destination of the data.
Virtual
Server/DMZ
Open access to your computer by creating a
virtual server or a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). By
default, your modem uses NAT (Network Address
Translation) to hide your networked computers
from users on the Internet. However, there are
times when you may want to give outside access
to the computers in your network. If so, you can
set up a virtual server or DMZ to allow outside
users access to a computer on your network. You
may want to allow access, for example, if a LAN
computer is hosting Internet games or running a
Web server.
ADSL X6 User Guide
48
This button… Opens a page that lets you…
PPP Half
Bridge
Share the public IP address assigned by your ISP
with a single PC on the LAN. This avoids
problems caused by certain applications having to
work through NAT (such as online games or FTP
servers) and avoids the need to run a PPP
software stack on the PC.
UPnP
(Universal Plug
and Play)
Connect automatically with other UPnP-enabled
software and hardware. The Internet Gateway
Device (IGD) protocol makes it possible for
applications running on the network to
automatically configure NAT routing.
Per Port PVC Assign a LAN port to a Permanent Virtual Circuit
(PVC). This feature is commonly used for
delivering video.
Port Settings Conveniently change the default port settings.
You will need to use this feature if the X6 is
hosting a web server or a Telnet server.
MAC Filtering Prevent network devices with the specified MAC
addresses from accessing the Internet.
Management
Control
Enable or deny access to X6 services – HTTP,
Telnet, UPnP, SNMP, TFTP – to local network
devices and/or remote users.
QoS (Quality
of Service)
Assign each port (LAN ports 1-4 and the wireless
port) a priority of High or Medium. This lets you
assure better performance for gaming and VoIP,
for example.
Status Options
The Status buttons open reports that provide real-time
information about your connections and networks. The reports
refresh themselves to give you the most current information.
Typically, these reports are used for maintenance purposes and
troubleshooting.

RIP RIP is an Internet protocol that you can set
up to share routing table information with:
•
•
•
•
•
•
LAN devices that support RIP
Remote networks connected via the
ADSL line
Your ISP’s location
Most small home or office networks do not
need to use RIP since they have only one
router and one path to an ISP. In these
cases there is no need to share routes
because all Internet data from the network
is sent to the same ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the
following circumstances apply to your
network:
Your home network setup includes an
additional router or RIP-enabled PC or
device. These routers will need to
communicate via RIP to share their
routing table information.
Your network connects via the ADSL
line to a remote network, such as a
corporate network. In order for your
modem to learn the routes used within
your corporate network, they should
both be configured with RIP.
Your ISP requests that you run RIP for
communication with devices on their
network
Accept V1 Accept Version 1 of the RIP protocol.
Accept V2 Accept Version 2 of the RIP protocol.
Sent V1 Send Version 1: Send RIP information to
other RIP-enabled devices.

Using the Ethernet
Configuration Settings
Do I need to change my Ethernet settings?
The Ethernet Configuration page contains information about the
Ethernet ports on your ADSL modem. Typically you should not
need to change these settings. However, if you are having problems
establishing your Ethernet connection, you may need to change the
Speed/Duplex value to match that of the Ethernet NIC in your
computer. Here is a picture of the Ethernet Configuration page:
The following table describes the Ethernet Configuration settings.
If you change any of the settings, click Save Changes, and then

Setting Up a Static Routing
Table
Do I need static routing?
Most users do not need to set up static routes. The default route
used in your modem will forward all packets correctly. However, if
you set up your network with different subnets, you can use static
routing to ensure your packets are handled correctly.
You can manually create a static route to tell the modem how to
reach a specific IP network. The route entry specifies a destination
network (or single host), together with a mask to indicate what
range of addresses the network covers, and a next-hop gateway
address or interface. If there is a choice of routes for a destination,
the route with the most specific mask is chosen.
To route to a destination that is not on any local network, a route
may be added via a gateway, for instance another router. The
gateway IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the
router's interfaces. Here is a picture of the Static Routes page:
The following table describes Routing Table settings. If you change
any of the settings, click Add, and then Write Settings to Flash.
Setting Description
Existing Routes This table shows the existing Static routes
set up on your ADSL Modem.
Destination Enter the subnet IP address of the

Adding Extra Security with
Advanced Firewall Filtering
Do I need extra security?
Setting up advanced firewall security provides an additional layer of
security. For example, if you create a DMZ interface for gaming
using the Virtual Server/DMZ page, you can enable the firewall
filtering and add a security policy that blocks IP addresses, ports,
aliases, and certain protocols from reaching the DMZ machine.
When you use the Advanced Firewall Filtering feature, you will
move through multiple screens. Follow the steps below to set up
this feature.
1 Open the Firewall Configuration page by clicking Firewall
on the Advanced Setup page:
Chapter 5: Using Advanced Setup
59
2 Important! Do not Enable Advanced Firewall Filtering on
the Firewall Configuration page until you create your security
policy. Otherwise, if you Enable Firewall Filtering before
you create your policy, you will block all outgoing and
incoming traffic. To set up your policy, click the link to
Security Policy Configuration and open the page.
3 Choose the Policy Type that you want then click the Policy
Rules link. You can set one of three Policy Types. Choose
the External – Internal policy to allow or block what is sent
from the WAN to the LAN. Choose the External –DMZ
policy to allow or block what is sent from the WAN to the
DMZ machine or the Virtual Server. Choose the DMZ-
Internal policy to allow or block what is sent from a DMZ
machine to your LAN.

You use the settings on the Firewall Add Policy Rule page to
configure your firewall security. In setting your criteria or rules, it is
important to know whether you want to block traffic or allow
traffic into your network. This is controlled by the Traffic
Inbound and Traffic Outbound settings where you choose Allow
or Block. After you determine what you want to do, you then fill
in the other settings to specify what it is that you want to block or
allow.
Suppose you enter Allow in the Traffic Inbound and Outbound
settings and Any in the Src Address setting. This sets the firewall
to allow any traffic into your network. Conversely, suppose you
choose Block for Traffic Inbound, choose Assign for Src
Address and specify a range of IP addresses. This sets the
firewall to block all traffic that has the IP addresses you specified.
The table that follows shows you the criteria that you can enter:
Setting Description
Src Address Source Address lets you specify Any for all
IP addresses or a specific range of IP
addresses from a particular source to be
blocked or allowed.
Des Address Destination Address lets you specify Any
for all IP addresses or a specific range of
IP addresses of a destination to be blocked
or allowed.
Protocol Protocol lets you specify a protocol to be
blocked or allowed. eq is equals and neq is
not equal. For example, eq TCP will allow
only TCP. neq TCP will allow everything
including TCP.
Source Port Lets you block or allow traffic from a
particular port.
Destination Port Lets you block or allow traffic going to a
destination port.
Traffic Inbound Lets you block or allow inbound traffic
based on the rules you set up in the policy.
Traffic Outbound Lets you block or allow outbound traffic
based on the rules you set up in the policy.

Configuring Intrusion Detection
What is intrusion detection?
Intrusion detection protects your network from hackers who use
the Internet to damage your network. Your modem’s default
Intrusion Detection setting should work fine for most hacker
attacks, but there is additional functionality that you can set up.
Your modem offers protection from various Denial of Service
(DOS) attacks; prevents users from scanning your ports to try to
access your computer; and can blacklist any host trying to damage
your network.
Follow these steps to enable additional intrusion detection:
From the Advanced Setup page, click Firewall. Then click the
link to Configure Intrusion Detection. The Configuration page
opens:
Chapter 5: Using Advanced Setup
65
ADSL X6 User Guide

Creating a Virtual Server or a
DMZ
Do I need to create a virtual server or DMZ?
By default, your modem uses NAT to hide your computers from
users on the Internet; however, there may be times when you want
to allow access by outside users to a computer on your network.
For instance, you would want to allow access if a computer in your
network is hosting Internet games or running a web server. For
more information about the Virtual Server/DMZ feature and the
differences between a virtual server and a DMZ, see page 38. For
information about setting up a Virtual Server or DMZ for gaming,
see Setting Up the X6 for Online Gaming on page 32.
Here is a picture of the Virtual Server/DMZ page:

access. If you want multiple ports to be
open, add a virtual server for each port that
you want open. If you selected DMZ, you
cannot specify a port.
Using the ADSL Settings
Do I need to change my ADSL settings?
Typically you should not need to change your ADSL settings;
however, you may be instructed to do so by your service provider.
Or, if you are having problems establishing a physical layer
connection, you may want to change a couple of the settings on the
ADSL Configuration page. Here is a picture of the ADSL page
where you change your settings:
The following table shows you the values to enter. After you enter
the values, click Save Changes, then Write Settings to Flash.
ADSL X6 User Guide

Changing Your LAN Settings
When would I need to change my LAN settings?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that
enables your modem to manage the assignment of IP addresses to
computers and devices on your LAN network. Enabling DHCP on
your modem allows it to assign temporary IP addresses to your
computers whenever they connect to your network. You can
control the amount of time that lapses before a new address is
issued or renewed. You can extend the range of IP addresses that
are assigned to your network devices should you add new devices
to your network. You can also change the default LAN IP address
for your modem.
Here is a picture of the LAN Configuration page:
ADSL X6 User Guide

Maximum Lease
Time
The maximum amount of time, in seconds,
that a device in your network will have the
temporary IP address before a new one is
issued by the modem’s DHCP server.
(86,400 seconds equals 24 hours)
Default Lease Time The Default amount of time that your
modem's DHCP server will assign an IP
address.
Start IP Address The first IP address of a range that you
specify using the Start and End IP Address
settings. Your modem's DHCP server will
assign the IP addresses in this range at
random to the computers and devices in
your network
End IP Address The last IP address of a range that you
specify using the Start and End IP Address
settings. Your modem’s DHCP server will
assign numbers from this range at random
to the computers and devices in your
network. By default the DHCP server has
12 addresses available to assign. If you
plan on attaching more than 12 devices to
your network, change the ending IP
address to allow for more devices.
ADSL X6 User Guide
74
Creating a Fixed IP Address
How do I create a fixed IP address?
You create a fixed IP Address for a computer on your network
using the DHCP Server Fixed Host page. The button to this
page is found on the LAN Configuration page.
You will want to create a fixed IP Address if you are setting up a
computer, Xbox, or Playstation for gaming. To create a fixed IP
address, see steps 2-6 in Step 1: Choosing an IP Address for
Gaming on page 32.
Assigning a Half Bridge Device
When would I assign a half bridge device?
Assigning a PPP Half Bridge assigns a public IP address to a
computer that you choose so you can bypass the modem’s NAT
feature and open up all ports on your computer. You may want to
do this if you are using an application that requires multiple ports
on a computer in your network. Some examples are video
conferencing applications, gaming applications, and instant
messaging.
Here is a picture of the Half Bridge Configuration page:
To set up a half bridge configuration, you set the Half Bridge status
to Enable. From the drop-down list, choose the computer that
you want to share the public IP address. This default setup for the
PPP Half Bridge works for most applications. You should not need
to make additional changes using the Advanced PPP Half
Bridge.

Configuring Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) helps guarantee upstream bandwidth for
applications that require fast and dependable throughput. For
example, QoS can slow down a photo upload so a phone call can
proceed without garbling, and/or a gamer can enjoy faster
response time.
With QoS you can assign each of the four LAN ports and the
wireless port a priority of High, Medium or Standard. High priority
ports together share a guaranteed percentage of upstream
bandwidth, typically 70%. Medium priority ports share a lower
guaranteed percentage, typically 20%. Standard priority ports share
the remaining upstream bandwidth that is guaranteed to them. If
ports aren’t using their guaranteed bandwidth, the excess
bandwidth becomes available to other ports in order of priority.
For VoIP, you normally assign a High Priority QoS port. For a
gaming device, you may want to assign a High or Medium priority.
For ports used for web browsing, normally you use Standard
priority .
QoS is normally set up by using the Install Assistant CD that
comes with the X6. To configure Quality of Service on the
Advanced Setup page instead, click QoS. For a help message,
select the Click here link in the first paragraph.
Note that on the QoS screen, Port 1 is the Ethernet port labeled
LAN 1 on the X6 back panel. Port 2 is LAN 2, and so forth.
Setting Description
Do you want to turn
on QoS . . . .?
If you click YES to assign priorities to the
X6’s LAN and wireless ports, by default
LAN port 1 is set to High Priority, LAN port
2 is set to Medium Priority, and LAN ports 3
and 4 as well as the wireless port are set to
Standard priority. These default settings
can be changed.
The default is NO.
Which ports should
be High Priority?
Select one to three ports. By default, these
ports will together share 70% of the
upstream bandwidth. You can configure a
different percentage on the Advanced
QoS page (see page 85).
Which ports should
be Medium Priority?
Select one to three ports. By default, these
ports will together share 20% of the
upstream bandwidth. You can configure a
different percentage on the Advanced
ADSL X6 User Guide
84
QoS page (see below).

High Priority and Medium Priority
percentages together must be less than
100.
Note: Standard Priority ports must have
at least 1% of the upstream bandwidth.
What guaranteed
bandwidth should

Problem
The computer on which I installed the X6 software is connected to
the Web, but one or more of the additional computers I have
connected directly to the modem cannot access the Internet.
Solution
There are several issues that could cause this problem. Check these
items:
•
•
•
Check that there’s a good connection between an X6 LAN
port and the computer that can’t access the Internet.
Try rebooting the computer that can’t access the Internet. This
will allow for the computer to release and renew its IP address.
Try the following for any computer that can’t access the
Internet: Ensure that the computer is connected using its
Ethernet port and one of the X6 modem’s LAN ports. Run the
installation CD (as explained in Installing the Software on
page 9), reboot the computer, and then try to connect to a
familiar Web address to ensure that the Internet connection is
made.
Appendix D: Troubleshooting 111
Problem
The computer on which I installed the X6 software is connected to
the Web, but the computers connected through my network device
(such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or switch) cannot
access the Internet.
Solution
The problem is most likely with your network device (such as a
wireless access point, router, hub, or switch). Check these items:
•
•
•
Try rebooting each computer on your network. For example, if
you are using a router, reboot each computer that is connected
to the router. This will allow for the computers to release and
renew their IP addresses.
If you are using a wireless access point or a router, verify that
the device is using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). This is also known as dynamic IP addressing.
Depending on your device, this may be controlled by an
Obtain an IP address automatically option. If you need
help, refer to the documentation that came with your network
device or contact its manufacturer.
