Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each computer that you are connecting
to your network.
Connecting Additional Computers Using Wireless
1
Turn on your computer and confirm that it has wireless network
capability. Most current notebooks and laptops have built-in or
external cards/adaptors; most desktops don’t.
•
If your computer has wireless capability that's activated and is
able to detect other network connections, the system displays
the message:
Wireless network detected. Click here for available
networks.
Click the message area. When you see the list of network
connections, go to step 2.
•
If your computer has wireless networking capability that's not
activated or is unable to detect other network connections, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for activating the connection,
then go to step 2.
•
If your computer does not have wireless capability, you must
install a wireless network adapter (such as a USB adapter).
Follow the installation instructions that came with it, then use the
adapter's configuration application to locate available networks in
your area.
2
Select
zoom
from the list of available network connections.
3
Open your Web browser and go to a familiar Web site. If you can
access the site, the wireless connection is working.
4
Set up wireless security for your network.

Setting Up Wireless Network Security
We recommend that you use
W
ired
E
quivalent
P
rivacy (WEP) 64-bit
security, which works with most 802.11 wireless equipment. The X6v also
supports
W
iFi
®
P
rotected
A
ccess™ (WPA™) and WPA2™ but this
improved security is more difficult to set up. If you want to use WPA or
WPA2, see the
Zoom
ADSL X6v User Guide
on the X6v CD for instructions.
Note
: If your computer has a previously-configured wireless network
connection, we suggest that you follow the sequence described here,
making changes to the security settings based on your network
security needs and preferences.
For example, if you are replacing an existing wireless router with the
X6v, you might want to retain the security settings that you currently
use on your network. Enter the SSID, encryption type, and security
key or passphrase that you previously defined. Enter a dash (–)
between each pair of characters in the security key.
1
Open your Web browser and type
in your browser's
address field.
2
When the
authentication
dialog opens, type
user
in the
User Name
field
and
password
in the
Password
field, as shown here:
User Name:
user
Password:
password
Note
: The
User Name
(
user
) and
Password
(
password
) that you type in this
dialog are used by the Zoom Configuration Manager and must be typed as
shown, using lower-case characters. These identifiers are not the user name
and password that your Internet Service Provider might have given you nor
are they names that you choose.
You can safely ignore the warning message in this dialog. It is for informational
purposes only.

When the
Wireless Setup
page opens, type a new name for your
network in the
SSID
field; for example, type
sarahsecure

Key 4)
define the security settings that
will be used when accessing the wireless network that you created in
step 5.

you created in step 5.
12
Set up each wireless device using the
SSID
name and
WEP-64 bit
security key, as follows:
a
Make sure that the network device on which you are setting
security has its wireless capability turned on. (Many notebooks
have an on/off hardware switch for wireless.)
b
Click the
Wireless Networking
icon at the lower right corner of the
screen to configure the connection.
c
Use the device's network scan option to view a list of available
connections.
The list should include the
SSID
that you created in
step 5.
Note
: If the list does not include the
SSID
, you might need to select/add
it using the device's wireless network wizard. Refer to the device-
specific online help for instructions.
d
Select the newly created
SSID
, then enter the network key (
WEP-64
Key 1
)
that you wrote and saved in step 11.
Note
: Omit the dashes between each pair of characters if your PC
displays a dialog that limits your network key entry to exactly 10
hexadecimal characters.
e
Click
OK
.
f
Repeat substeps
a
through
e
for each wireless device on your
network.
That’s it!
Your wireless network security setup is complete!

Troubleshooting the Wireless Network
In the unlikely event that you experience performance issues with your
wireless network, you can use a channel that’s different from the default
value (channel 10) set at the factory .
1
Open your Web browser and type
in the browser's
address field.
2
When the authentication dialog opens, type
user
and
password
(each in lower case letters) in the
User Name
and
Password
fields, then
click
OK
.
3
On the
ADSL Setup
page, click the
Wireless Setup
icon
at the top of
the screen to open the
Wireless Setup
page.
4
On the
Wireless Setup
page, enter a number that differs from the
default channel (channel 10). If possible, this channel should be five
channels away from other channels in use in your area.
5
Click
Save
,
then click
Write Settings to Flash
.
All devices connecting wirelessly to the X6v will automatically switch
to the new channel.
Making Phone Calls over the Internet
The Zoom ADSL modem uses Global Village as its Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) service. The Global Village is a low-cost Internet service
that lets you make world-wide phone calls and provides call
conferencing, call forwarding, call blocking, and voice mail.
When you connect a telephone to the X6v's PHONE jack, you can use
your activated Global Village account to make free Internet calls to other
Global Village users (and to other VoIP service users) anywhere. You
can also use the Global Village Service to make inexpensive calls to
almost any phone in the world. There’s no mandatory monthly fee – you
pay only for calls that you make.
Using the Global Village Service
After you register with Global Village, your VoIP account is activated and
you have 10 minutes of free calls to any phone, anywhere in the USA,
the U.K., and more than a dozen other countries.
