Windows 7, XP, and Vista users: If you installed a
wireless adapter on a Windows 7, XP, or Vista computer,
Windows 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.
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

instructions on how to log in to the Zoom Configuration
Manager, see page 14. After logging in, select Wireless
from the left-side menu. On the Wireless page you can
select a new channel from the drop-down menu.
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 19.
(By default, the wireless connections provided by the
