ADSL X6 User Guide22
There are several site scan issues you should be aware of:
! If 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, and clear the Use Windows to configure my
wireless network settings check box then click OK. You
can then use the software provided with your wireless
adapter without interruption from Windows XP.
! More 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
X6
uses channel 10. If you need to change
this channel, you must do so using the Wireless Setup
page of the Zoom Configuration Manager.
! If 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 26.
(By default, the wireless connections provided by the
X6
do not have any security applied.)

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!
Important!
If you want to add security to your network, see Setting Wireless
Security on page 26.
