Establishing Communication
Important!
Macintosh and Linux users must make sure that the computer’s TCP/IP settings are configured properly BEFORE starting this section. See Macintosh TCP/IP Settings on page 119 or Linux TCP/IP Settings on page 121 for instructions.
You must set up the X6v so that it can communicate with your Internet service provider. To do this, you use the Zoom Configuration Manager.
1 Close all programs including antivirus software and pop-up blockers.
2 Log into the Zoom Configuration Manager:
aOpen your Web browser and, in its address bar, type http://10.0.0.2 and then press the Enter key on your keyboard.
In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type the following user name and password in lowercase, then click OK. (The X6v User Name and Password you enter here are not the same as the User Name and Password that your Internet service provider may have given you.)
User Name: admin Password: zoomDSL
Chapter14 1: Installation Instructions
If you are not prompted for a User Name and Password, do the following in this order: Recheck all connections; restart the modem and computer; and reset the modem by inserting a paper clip into the Reset pinhole in the modem’s back panel and pressing it three times.
Important:
For security, choose your own X6v password after the setup is complete. See Changing Your Password on page 107.
3
3 After you log in, use the Basic Setup page to configure the modem so it can connect with your Internet service provider.
•To use Automatic Configuration (recommended): a At Configure my connection, click Start.
b In the "Settings successfully detected" message box, click OK to return to the Basic Setup page.
c If the X6v finds a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, on the Basic Setup page enter the user name and password given to you by your Internet Service Provider.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions |
15 |
If the X6v finds a 1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed connection, you have the option of using either dynamic or static IP addressing. Depending on your situation, select the appropriate option button:
−[MOST USERS] Ensure that Obtain an IP address Automatically is selected if you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (also known as DHCP or dynamic IP addressing). This option is selected by default because most Internet service providers use DHCP.
−Select Use the following IP Address only if you are using a static IP address. (You should know if you are using static IP addressing. There is typically an extra charge for a static IP address and you usually have to make special arrangements with your Internet service provider to get one.)
Then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway, and DNS that you plan to use. Click the Save Changes button, then click the
Write Settings to Flash button.
•To configure your settings manually if Automatic Configuration does not work, follow these instructions:
a On the Basic Setup page, enter your Protocol,
Encapsulation, VPI, and VCI settings in the appropriate boxes. Your service provider should supply these values. If you do not know these settings, refer to the tables starting on page 111.
b NAT (Network Address Translation) is Enabled by default. This feature lets multiple users access the Internet sharing a single IP address. Enabled is typically the right setting. Select Disable in the unlikely event that you want to assign different public IP addresses to each network user.
c Depending on the Protocol setting you selected the bottom half of the page will change so that you can enter additional information.
If you selected PPPoA or PPPoE, enter your DSL Username and Password in the appropriate boxes. Your Internet service provider should have
Chapter16 1: Installation Instructions
given this information to you. (Your Username is typically your email address or the characters preceding the @ sign in your email address. This is NOT the same Username and Password that you used earlier to open the Zoom Configuration Manager.)
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions |
17 |
If you selected 1483 Bridged or 1483 Routed, you have the option of using either dynamic or static IP addressing. Depending on your situation, select the appropriate option button:
−[MOST USERS] Ensure that Obtain an IP address Automatically is selected if you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (also known as DHCP or dynamic IP addressing). This option is selected by default because most Internet service providers use DHCP.
−Select Use the following IP Address only if you are using a static IP address. (You should know if you are using static IP addressing.
There is typically an extra charge for a static IP address and you usually have to make special arrangements with your Internet service provider to get one.)
Then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS that you plan to use. Click the Save Changes button, then click the Write Settings to Flash button.
4 Verify that you Internet connection is working. Open your Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address. If you connect successfully, you are ready to set up the rest of your network.
(If you do not connect, see Appendix D on page 125).
Tip!
If you configured the X6v using a notebook computer, you can keep it plugged in or you can disconnect it from the unit’s ETHERNET port. As long as the X6v remains plugged into an DSL wall jack and a power source, the X6v can function as a stand-alone device. You can then make the notebook part of your wireless network.
Chapter18 1: Installation Instructions
Start here January 22
Congratulations! You have established communication and your computer is connected to the Internet.
If you want to connect other computers to the X6v, continue with
Setting Up a Network below.
If you want to configure a VoIP account, first set up your network -- if desired -- and then continue with Chapter 4, Setting Up VoIP Service on page 37.
Setting Up a Network
Once a computer that is directly connected to the X6v modem is able to browse the Web, you know for certain that your Web connection is working. Now you can set up the rest of your network.
It is up to you whether you want to have some computers connected directly to the X6v and others connected wirelessly. The X6v supports both wired and wireless connections. You can have up to 253 connections, four of which can be wired directly through the X6’s four ETHERNET ports. You can also plug a network device (such as a hub, switch, or router) into one of the
ETHERNET ports.
To set up your network, you can do any or all of the following, in any order that you choose:
•If you want to connect additional computers directly to the X6v, see To Connect Additional Wired Computers below.
•If you want to connect a hub, switch, or router directly to the X6v, see To Connect a Network Device on page 20.
•If you want to connect additional computers using a wireless network, see Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Wireless Network on page 23.
To Connect Additional Wired Computers
You can connect up to four computers that have Ethernet ports directly to the X6v.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions |
19 |
1 Shut down and power off the computer you want to connect to the X6v.(This is important because the computer must locate the correct IP address for the modem. This is done when the computer is turned back on in step 3 below.)
2 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s ETHERNET ports and plug the other end into the computer’s Ethernet port.
3
4
Turn on the computer.
Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
5 Repeat steps 1–4 for each computer you want to add.
To Connect a Network Device
You can use one of the ETHERNET ports on the X6v to plug in a network device (for example, a hub, switch, or router).
1 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s ETHERNET ports and the other end into the network device’s Ethernet port. (For a hub or a switch, this is typically called an Uplink or Expansion port. For a router, this is typically called a WAN port.)
2 Set up your network. Refer to the documentation provided with your particular network device for instructions on how to do this.
3
4
Once your network is set up, reboot any computer that is part of the network.
Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open the Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape
Chapter20 1: Installation Instructions
Navigator) on each computer and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
{There appears to be no discussion of setting up Static IP Addresses on the LAN side of the X6v in this document. There is a help page on the X6v that describes how to set the ATA portion of the device to a static IP first when the X6v’s LAN-side DHCP server is disabled. Possibly this is sufficient, but possibly we should place a note here that warns of this issue—HV}
Congratulations! You have set up your wired devices. If you have wireless devices that you want to add to your network, go to
Setting Up Your Wireless Network on page 23.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructions |
21 |
Universal Plug and Play
The X6v supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™). This means that other devices plugged into your computer or network (for example, a gaming application, router, or stand-alone firewall) that use UPnP should automatically detect the X6v and make the needed configurations for them to work together. There is no setup for you to do.

Setting Up Your Wireless
Network
This chapter discusses how to set up a wireless network using computers that have built-in wireless capabilities and/or a wireless adapter. Chapter 3 provides information about implementing network security.
Note that for each computer added to your wireless network, you will need to take appropriate steps for setting up that computer. To do that, select one of the three possibilities for that computer below:
1.Some newer Windows Vista and XP notebooks and desktops have built-in wireless networking capabilities and do not require the installation of a wireless component. If this is the case, you should set up that computer’s wireless connection using the Windows Vista or XP connect utility. See the sections below on connecting Windows Vista (page 25) or XP (page 27) computers with built-in wireless capabilities.
Tip!
To see if your notebook has built-in wireless capabilities: On the Windows desktop, click Start, click Connect to and then locate the Wireless Network Connection option. If Connect to does not appear, or if there is no wireless network available, then your notebook does not have wireless capabilities.
2.Some desktop and notebook computers may have built-in wireless networking capabilities, but do not use the Windows Vista or XP
Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Wireless Network |
23 |
utility to configure their device. If this is so, set up your computer’s wireless connection using the instructions on page 28 for
Connecting a Wireless-enabled Computer to the X6v.
Chapter24 2: Setting Up Your Wireless Network
3.Some desktop and notebook computers may need a wireless network adapter installed. This can be a USB adapter, PC Card adapter, or PCI adapter. When you install the adapter, make sure that it is set to infrastructure or access point mode (NOT ad-hoc or peer-to-peer mode). If you need help installing your wireless adapter or setting its mode, refer to the documentation that came with it. After you install the adapter, see Connecting a Wireless-enabled Computer to the X6v on page 28.

Important!
If you want to add security to your network, please see Setting Wireless Security on page 31.
Connecting a Wireless-enabled Computer to the X6v
1 Go to the wireless-enabled computer that you want to add to the network. The computer should have software that will let it perform a site search to scan for available wireless networks in your area. When the SSID (Service Set Identifier) of your X6v wireless network appears in the list—the SSID is zoom— select it as the network you want to use to connect to the Internet.
Tip!
For most wireless adapters, you will use its wireless configuration manager software and click a Scan button or select a Site Scan, Scan Networks, or other similarly named tab to do a site search. If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
There are several site scan issues you should be aware of:
¾If you installed a wireless adapter on a Windows XP computer, Windows XP may try to automatically configure the adapter (rather than let you use the software provided with the wireless adapter). You will know this is happening because you will be prompted with a message about one or more wireless networks being available. You will also be able to click a link to open the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box. If this happens, click the link, clear the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box, and then click OK. You can then use the software provided with your wireless adapter without interruption from Windows.
Chapter28 2: Setting Up Your Wireless Network
¾More than one wireless network may appear in the list. These are other wireless networks that are within range of your network. Your neighbors, for instance, may be within range of your network. Each wireless network has a channel associated with it. We recommend there be at least a five-channel difference between your network and those of your neighbors. Having less than a five-channel difference may result in interference with your connection. By default, the X6v uses channel 10. If you need to change this channel, you must do so using the Wireless Setup page of the Zoom Configuration Manager.
¾If you want to secure your wireless network so it won’t be accessible by others, you should specify security settings. To learn how, see Setting Wireless Security on page 31. (By default, the wireless connections provided by the X6v do not have any security applied.)
2 Test your wireless connections. From each desktop or notebook computer that you set up, open your Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
If you connect successfully, you are ready to browse the Web!
