If you want that computer to have wireless capability, you need to install a wireless adapter such 
as a USB adapter.  

 

 

This Quick Start tells you how to install your X6 using a Windows® PC. Detailed information and 
installation instructions for Macintosh and Linux are in the User Guide on the CD. The X6 
requires that you have ADSL service, which is usually called DSL in the USA.

See the instructions that came with your adapter and install it on your computer.

Using the configuration application (sometimes called a Configuration Monitor, or Manager, 

or Utility) that came with the adapter, do a site survey or scan to find available networks in 
your area. (Many configuration applications have a Scan button, Scan Network tab, or 
something similar to help you find an available network.) 

 

 

The options that are set by default when your X6 is installed are sufficient for most users. 
However, those who want or need to change the X6’s settings can do so using the 

Advanced 

Setup

 page in the Zoom Configuration Manager. 

Important Safety Measures 

  

To reduce the risk of fire, use the supplied phone cord or an AWG 26 or larger UL-listed or   

   CSA-certified

Setting Up Wireless Security 

Troubleshooting Tips 

 

We include instructions here for setting up WEP (

W

ired 

E

quivalent 

P

rivacy) 64-bit security, because 

WEP-64 works with most wireless equipment. The X6 also supports WPA™ (

W

iFi 

P

rotected 

A

ccess™) and WPA2, but all the devices on your network must support those methods. If you can 

use WPA or WPA2, please see the User Guide on the CD for instructions. 

 

Problem: 

My X6’s INTERNET light is steady on, but my computer cannot connect to the 

Internet. 

1

 

Turn on the Windows computer that you will use for setup. This can be any Windows 7, 
Vista™, XP, 2000, Me or 98 computer with an available Ethernet port.  

 

Check these items: 

2

 

Close any open programs, including any anti-virus software or pop-up blockers. 

 

 

If you are using an Ethernet port, check that the X6’s 

ETHERNET

 light is on. If not, reboot 

your computer. If the light is still not on, check that a working Ethernet cable connects from the 
X6's Ethernet port to an Ethernet port of your computer.  

To set WEP security, follow these steps:

Insert the supplied CD into the CD drive of your computer. The CD should start automatically.

 as the SSID. 

 

Verify that your service provider has turned on your ADSL service. If you’re not sure, place a 
call to your service provider’s customer support to verify this. 

 

To test your installation, open your browser and go to a familiar Web site. If your browser works, 
installation is complete for the computer you used for setup. If you’d like, you can also connect 
other computers to the X6 as discussed on the next page. If your browser doesn't work, see the

Verify that the X6 is connected to a jack with ADSL service. Also, make sure there isn’t a 
phone filter between the X6 and the wall jack that the X6 is connected to. 

Note:

 At this point, if you haven’t already done so, we recommend that you put an ADSL filter on 

every phone connected to the ADSL phone line. DO NOT put a filter between the X6 and the wall 
jack that it is connected to. (In some countries, including the UK, a splitter is supplied with the X6. 
The PHONE line plug of the splitter plugs into the wall jack that has ADSL service, and the X6 
plugs into the splitter's MODEM jack, which is not filtered. The PHONE jack, for an optional 
telephone, has a built-in ADSL filter.) 

 

Your phone cord may be defective. Try a different phone cord.

In the unlikely event that you then experience performance issues with your wireless network, 
you may want to set your network up on a channel that’s different from the factory-set channel of 
10. To do that, follow these steps: 

 

Equipment Technical Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that 
registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that 
Industry Canada approved the equipment. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device 
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.  

First, determine whether the computer that you want to connect to your network has built-in 
wireless capability. Most current notebooks and laptops do; most desktops don’t. 

 

 

 

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is identified on the bottom label of the equipment. The REN assigned to each terminal equipment 
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of

 

any 

combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five. Industry Canada CS03
