ADSL X5v
Model 5565 for Annex A
The ADSL X5v integrates a full-rate ADSL modem, router, firewall, four-port 10/100 Ethernet
switch, USB port, and VoIP phone port into a single cost-effective product.
The TelePort™ feature provides a phone port that lets you use your standard single-line phone
for conventional phone calls or free and very low-cost Voice Over IP (VoIP) calls. Because the
X5v integrates Internet telephony with a full featured ADSL gateway, setup is easy and system
security is ensured. Integration of the voice processing with the firewall in the router ensures
reliability of VoIP calls and reduces service provider support requirements. The Model 5565 and
5566 also come with the Global Village
™ VoIP phone service that sets up in minutes and lets
you simply dial phone numbers and make free calls to devices like the X5v anywhere in the
world. And because the X5v uses SIP, the most popular protocol for voice communications over
the Internet, you can tap into a rapidly-growing world of free and very low-cost phone services.
The X5v's built-in four-port Ethernet switch eliminates the need for a separate Ethernet hub for
most home networks and many small offices. The USB port allows direct connection of a fifth
computer to the ADSL X5v. By adding external hubs or a wireless access point, the X5v can
provide simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 computers.
The Local Phone port of the Model 5565 and 5566 includes the TelePort, an intelligent relay
that allows a single phone to place and receive both VoIP calls and calls over the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). PSTN Fail-Over allows the X5v to automatically route calls
over the dial-up phone network when power is lost. PSTN support also allows emergency
dialing using services like 911 or 112 calling.
Setup is easy using any authorized local or remote computer's Web browser and the graphical
user interface built into the X5v. Flash memory allows easy firmware updates, including addi-
tions to the voice compression codecs.

Making Phone Calls Over the Internet
The X5v allows you to minimize or eliminate long distance charges while maintaining the
flexibility and security of your normal phone service. A special Local Phone port lets you plug in
a conventional telephone. This phone can make and receive calls just like your regular phones,
but it can also do much more!
The Model 5565 and 5566 come with Global Village phone service that sets up in minutes
from your PC and lets you simply dial phone numbers to make free calls to another X5v user or
to most other VoIP users anywhere in the world. You'll get a special phone number for people
calling you over the Internet. When that call comes in, your phone will ring normally.
What if you want to call someone whose phone isn't able to make or receive calls over the
Internet? You have two ways to call that person. In the first way, the X5v lets you dial the call
normally, and your call goes out through your local phone line to the traditional "public
switched telephone network" or PSTN. (When you want the call to go out over the Internet, you
dial a # before dialing the person's phone number.) In the second way, you sign up for en-
hanced Global Village service or another VoIP service provider that lets your calls travel through
the Internet to a special gateway and on to the PSTN.
What if you'd like to extend this capability throughout your home? In some homes and offices,
you can use your existing wiring, though you may also need one or more inexpensive wiring
adapters. In other situations, we recommend a low-cost cordless phone system with a single
base station and as many phones as you like.
