Chapter 2. Monitoring Status

Status Monitoring 
This chapter discusses how to check the status of your modem 
and its ADSL connection. 
Most users can skip this chapter, as it is primarily for advanced 
users and for those who are instructed by their Internet service 
provider or Zoom Technical Support to verify settings, usually 
for troubleshooting. 
If you are using an access point or a network hub, you can 
monitor your X5 from any of the computers that are connected 
to the access point or hub. 
Why Monitor Status? 
The X5 provides two easy-to-read screens for you to review the 
status of the modem and its ADSL connection. 
While most users will probably never need to check the status, 
there are some cases in which it would be helpful. For example, 
you may need to know the IP address assigned to you by your 
Internet service provider. 
For advanced users with special configuration needs, the status 
information is useful for overall system maintenance.
