ZOOM ADSL X6
Quick Start
This Quick Start tells you how to install your X6 with 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.
1 Turn on the Windows computer that you will use for
setup. This can be any Windows Vista™, XP, 2000, Me or
98 computer with an available Ethernet port.
For Windows Vista only: You must follow these steps to turn on
Telnet Client:
a Click Start, select Control Panel, then double-click Programs and
Features.
b In Programs and Features, in the Tasks pane, click Turn
Windows features
on or off.
c At the User Account Control message, click Continue.
d In the Windows Features dialog box, select Telnet Client, click
OK, and wait
while the feature is configured.
e In the Uninstall or Change a Program window, click the Close box
to exit.
2 Close any open programs, including any antivirus software
or pop-up blockers.
3 Insert the supplied CD into the CD drive of your
computer. The CD should start automatically. (If the CD
does not start automatically, click the Windows Start button,
click Run, and then type E:\setup.exe, where E is the letter
of your CD drive.)
4 Follow the on-screen prompts for the Install Assistant.
Congratulations! Your installation is complete.
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 Troubleshooting Tips on page 3.
ADSL X6 User’s Guide 2
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, is filtered.)
ADSL X6 User Guide 3
Connecting Additional Computers to the X6
You can connect other computers to the X6 two ways. You can use a wired
connection by plugging an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port of your
computer (or game station) and any one of the X6’s four Ethernet (LAN) ports, or
you can establish a wireless connection from another computer that has
Wireless-B or Wireless-G capability.
Wired Ethernet Connection
1 Shut down the computer or game station that you want to connect to the X6.
2 Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the X6’s LAN ports and then into the
Ethernet port of the computer or game station. Then turn on the computer or
game station.
3 Open your Web browser and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
Wireless Connection
First you should determine whether the computer that you want to connect
has built-in wireless capability. Most current notebooks and laptops do; most
desktops don’t.
If your computer has built-in wireless capability
It’s easy to find out if your computer has wireless capability. If it does, your
computer will connect automatically to the X6 network. Just turn it on and the
message Wireless network detected. Click here for available networks will
appear in the task bar in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Click the
message box and select zoom. Then open your Web browser and go to a familiar
web site.
If you don’t get this message and want to check for wireless capability, right-click My
Computer and select Properties. Click Hardware, then the Device Manager button.
Look for Network Adapter and click the plus (+) sign. If your computer has a built-in
wireless device, you’ll see wireless in the list of devices – for example, Ethernet
wireless adapter. If a wireless network device isn’t listed, your computer most likely
does not have built-in wireless capability.
If your computer doesn’t have built-in wireless capability
If you want wireless capability, you will need to install a wireless adapter such as
a USB or PCI Adapter. For a notebook or laptop you can also use a PC Card
adapter.
1 See the instructions that came with your adapter and install it on your
computer.
2 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 manager
applications have a Scan button, Scan Network tab or something similar to
help you find an available network.)
3 When you do the scan, you will see a list of networks identified by an SSID
(Service Set Identifier). Select the Zoom SSID. This is the SSID of the X6
wireless network that you want to use to connect to the Internet.
4 Once connected, open your Web browser and try to connect to a familiar
Web address.
Setting Up Wireless Security
We recommend that you wait until your X6 and any other computers are connected
to the network before setting up security. To set up security for your network, the X6
supports WPA2, WPA, or WEP. Please see the User Guide on the CD for setup
ADSL X6 User’s Guide 4
instructions. You will need to know that admin is the User Name and zoomadsl is
the Password (in lowercase letters).
Setting Advanced Features
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. To open this page, you first log in to the
Zoom Configuration Manager:
1 Open your Web browser. Type 10.0.0.2 in the address bar then press Enter.
2 In the login box, type admin for User Name and zoomadsl for Password in
lowercase letters.
3 Click the Advanced Setup button at the top of the page. Click a button to
choose a feature.
For more information about using the Advanced features, please see the User Guide on the
CD,
Troubleshooting Tips
Problem
My X6’s LINK light is solidly lit, but my computer cannot connect to the Internet.
Check these items:
• If you are using an Ethernet port, check that the X6’s LAN light is on. If the
light is not on, 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.
• Ensure that you have typed your ADSL username and password correctly. To
check your username and password, insert the CD and run the Install
Assistant again.
Problem
My X6’s LINK light continually blinks and does not stay solidly lit.
Check these items:
• Verify that your service provider has turned on your ADSL service. If you’re not
sure, you can place a call to your service provider’s customer support to verify
this.
• Your X6 may not have connected to your Internet service. Turn off the X6, and
then turn it back on and wait a few minutes for the browser to work. Check
your connections.
• 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.
• Your phone cord may be defective. Try a different phone cord.

Regulatory Information
U.S. FCC Part 68 Statement
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
The unit bears a label on the back which contains among other information a product identifier in
the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone

be connected to the telephone line. An excessive REN may cause the equipment to not ring in
response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all equipment on a line should
not exceed five (5.0).
In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company can temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company will try to warn you in
advance of any such disconnection, but if advance notice isn't practical, it may disconnect the
service first and notify you as soon as possible afterwards. In the event such a disconnection is
deemed necessary, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
From time to time, the telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, or
operations which could affect the operation of this equipment. If this occurs, the telephone
company is required to provide you with advance notice so you can make the modifications
necessary to obtain uninterrupted service.
