Zoom AP+2 User’s Guide 5

Package Contents

The AP+2 package contains the following:

•AP+2 Device

•Ethernet Cable

•Power Cube

•CD for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux

If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom Customer

Support or whoever sold you the AP+2.

Overview

Depending on your needs, the Zoom AP+2 can be used in any of

the following ways:

•Access Point. You can plug the AP+2 into a router,

modem/router, switch, or hub to allow wireless devices (for

example, computers or gaming devices) to make a wireless

connection to your network. Setting the AP+2 up as an access

point is explained in Chapter 1: Installing the AP+2 as an

Access Point on page 7.

•Ethernet Client. You can plug the AP+2 into the Ethernet

port of a gaming device or computer so that device can have

wireless access to a wireless network. This is also known as a

“client bridge.” Setting the AP+2 up as an Ethernet client is

explained in Chapter 2: Installing the AP+2 as an Ethernet

Client on page 13.

•Repeater. You can install the AP+2 near the edge of a wireless

network’s area of coverage to extend the area of coverage.

Setting the AP+2 up as a repeater is explained in Chapter 3:

Installing the AP+2 as a Repeater on page 17.

This User’s Guide provides instructions for setting up your AP+2

for each of the above scenarios. It also includes details about

setting up security, advanced settings, and specific information for

Windows, Macintosh, and Linux users.

If we update information about the AP+2, we provide the updated

information at this Zoom Web site:

Chapter 1: Installing the AP+2 as an Access Point 7

Installing the AP+2 as an

Access Point

This chapter provides detailed instructions about installing the

AP+2 as an access point. If you have already done this using

the printed Quick Start booklet, you do not have to perform the

steps in this chapter. Instead, you should now set up security

for your wireless network. To do this, please continue with

Chapter 4: Setting Security on page 21.

Installing the Hardware

1Connect the AP+2 to your router, combination

modem/router, switch, or hub. To do this, plug one end of the

included Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port on the back of the

AP+2 and plug the other end into an available Ethernet port

on the router, modem/router, switch, or hub. The AP+2

works with both 100 and 10 Mbps Ethernet port speeds.

2Plug the included power cube into a power strip or wall outlet

and then plug its other end into the Power jack on the back of

the access point.

Important! Only use the power cube shipped with the AP+2. Other

power cubes may damage the device.

8 Zoom AP+2 User’s Guide

The TX/RX, LINK/ACT, and Power lights on the top of

the device should blink while the AP+2 boots up and

configures itself. When a valid connection has been made, the

LINK/ACT light will be solid green (for a 100 Mbps Ethernet

link) or solid orange (for a 10 Mbps Ethernet link).

3You may want to try to position the unit’s antennas to improve

wireless speed and coverage. Typically the antennas should not

be parallel. For example, try making one vertical and the other

horizontal.

Adding Devices to Your

Wireless Network

Each device that you plan to use on your wireless network must

have wireless capabilities. Some newer desktop and notebook

computers have this capability built-in, while other Windows,

Macintosh, or Linux computers require the installation of a wireless

network adapter.

Note: Gaming devices typically need to use an Ethernet client (such as another

AP+2 in Client Bridge-Infrastructure mode) to access your wireless network.

Once you have a wireless network established, see Chapter 2 to learn how to use a

second AP+2 as an Ethernet client with a gaming device.

If you are using a Windows XP desktop or notebook computer

that has built-in wireless capabilities, continue with My Windows

XP Computer Has Built-In Wireless Capabilities on page 9. If

it does not, or if you are using a Macintosh or Linux computer,

continue with My Computer Requires a Wireless Network

Adapter on page 10.

Tip! To see if your Windows 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 Connection option, then your notebook does not have

wireless capabilities. If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with

your Windows notebook.

Chapter 1: Installing the AP+2 as an Access Point 9

My Windows XP Computer Has

Built-In Wireless Capabilities

1On your Windows desktop, click the Start button, then click

Control Panel.

2Double-click the Network Connections icon.

3Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon, then

select Properties.

4On the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog

box, select the Wireless Networks tab. Windows XP will

automatically scan for available wireless networks in your area.

Its findings will appear in the Available networks list. It

should find the wireless network of your new access point—

named zoom. (The scan is done automatically because the Use

Windows to configure my wireless network settings check

box is selected by default.)

5Select zoom from the Available networks list, then click the

Configure button to add it to the Preferred networks list.

The notebook will try to connect to the Internet using the

wireless networks listed here, in the order in which they

appear. (If you already have networks listed here, we

recommend you either remove them or use the Move up

button to move zoom to the top of the list.)

6Click OK.

10 Zoom AP+2 User’s Guide

7If you are like most users, you set up the AP+2 as an access

point to provide wireless access to the Internet. If this is the

case, test your wireless connection by opening a Web browser

on the computer you just set up and trying to connect to a

familiar Web address. (If you do not connect, see Appendix

A: Troubleshooting on page 51)

Congratulations! This computer has been added to your wireless

network. If you do not have any other computers to add to the

network, you can optionally add security to your network by

following the instructions in Chapter 4: Setting Security on

page 21.

My Computer Requires a Wireless

Network Adapter

If your computer does not have built-in wireless capabilities, you

need to install a wireless network adapter, such as the Zoom

Wireless-G PC Card or Zoom Wireless-G USB Adapter.

Although we recommend that you use a Zoom adapter, the Zoom

AP+2 is compatible with most USB adapters, PC card adapters, or

PCI adapters on the market. However, you will typically experience

better performance if you use Zoom wireless adapters.

1Install the adapter and ensure that it is set to infrastructure or

access point mode (NOT ad-hoc or peer to peer mode). If

you need help installing the adapter or setting its mode, refer to

the documentation that came with it.

2Access the adapter’s software and perform a “site search” to

scan for available wireless networks in your area. 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.
