Chapter 9 Troubleshooting
Will my Xbox work with the Modem?
Yes, the Modem is compatible with the Xbox. You need to set a static IP on the
Xbox in the Xbox live network settings, and forward ports 3074 (both UDP and
TCP), 53 (both UDP and TCP), and 88 (UDP) if you run into DSL resolution
errors.
Is the Modem flash-upgradeable? How do I do it?
Yes, the firmware is upgradeable. You can find a link to the firmware site under
Utilitiesî in the Web-based configurator. We recommend contacting the ISP for
assistance to avoid any issues running firmware upgrades, and to confirm you
have the correct firmware before upgrading the unit.
Does the Modem function as a DSL modem?
Yes, the Modem has a built-in DSL Modem.

Can I use an 802.11b wireless card to connect to the Modem?
Yes, the Modem can handle 802.11b cards or 802.11g cards. The 802.11g stan-
dard is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard. The Modem can be
setup to handle just “g” wireless cards, just “b” wireless cards, or both.
If I install several Modems in different locations in my building, will they
be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I move
between them?
The Modem does not communicate with other access points, since it functions
as a single access point system. If you installed several Modem devices and were
to move between coverage areas, your wireless device would have to reconnect to
a separate network.
Which wireless cards will work with the Modem?
The Modem connects with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g/802.11b
wireless standards.
