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.
