Overview

You can use the AP+4 as a Router/Access Point, Universal

Repeater, Ethernet Client or Wireless ISP.

•

As a Router/AP, the AP+4 handles local network traffic both

wirelessly and through its four LAN (Local Area Network)

ports, and communicates via its WAN (Wide Area Network)

port to an ADSL modem, cable modem, or other Internet-

connected device.

As a Repeater, the AP+4 is placed near the edge of a

wireless network – for example, a Zoom X6 network – and

wirelessly links up to 200 more devices to the network.

As an Ethernet Client, the AP+4 connects via its LAN ports

to up to four game consoles or computers, and links them

wirelessly to a Zoom X6 or other wireless router.

As a Wireless ISP, the AP+4 can connect up to four wired

PCs or game consoles, give them Network Address

Translation protection, and connect them wirelessly to an

access point. If you select this mode, use the Wireless

Basic Setup page to configure the AP+4 as a wireless

client.

See Setting Up the AP+4 on page 8to choose an operating

mode.

This User Guide provides instructions for connecting and

configuring your AP+4 and setting up wireless and wired local

area networks. It includes details about security, firewalls, Virtual

Private Networks and administrative tasks.

When we update information about the AP+4, the information is

provided at this Zoom web site:

Installing the AP+4

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the

hardware and configuring the AP+4 using the Setup Wizard. If

you have already done this by following the instructions in the

printed Quick Start, skip to Chapter 2, Wireless Configuration,

on page 20.

Connector Description

WAN This port connects to the LAN or Ethernet port of an

ADSL or cable modem, using an Ethernet cable.

LAN 1 - 4 These Local Area Network ports connect via Ethernet

cable to up to four computers, game consoles or other

network devices.

PWR This port connects to a live power source using the

supplied power cube.

RESET To reset the modem to its factory settings, insert a

paper clip and press and hold for 10 seconds.

Chapter 1. Installing the AP+4 7

Connecting the Hardware

1Put the AP+4 near a computer to be used for setup. That

computer needs an Ethernet (LAN) port.

2Turn off the computer.

3Connect one end of the supplied power cube to the AP+4

PWR jack, and the other end to a live power source.

Important! Only use the power cube shipped with the AP+4.

Other power cubes may damage the device.

The PWR LED on the AP+4 front panel should turn on and

the WLAN LED should flash. (The WLAN LED continues to

flash to signify broadcast activity as long as the Wireless

LAN is enabled. It is enabled by default.)

4Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the

computer’s Ethernet port and the other end to one of the

AP+4’s LAN ports.

5Turn on the computer.

The WLAN LED continues flashing and the connected LAN

port and the ACT (Activity) LEDs become steady on. (If you

have a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection, the LAN LED does not

turn on.)

If you want the AP+4 to have access to the Internet, connect

its WAN port to the Ethernet port on your cable modem,

ADSL modem, or other broadband device. When you do

this, the WAN LED turns on if the broadband device is on

and its Ethernet port is working.

Setting Up the AP+4

1Open your web browser, enter 10.0.0.200 in the address

bar, and press the Enter key to open the Zoom AP+4

configuration software. The Status page appears first.

2In the left pane, select Setup Wizard.

3On the Welcome page, click Next.

4On the Choosing an Operating Mode page, select the way

you want to use the AP+4:

Router/Access Point. In this mode, which is the one most

users will select, the AP+4 links all wireless enabled

computers and other devices to a network and gives those

devices shared access to your broadband Internet

connection.

If you are using the AP+4 as a Repeater, on the Wireless

Basic Setup page at the Mode option, select AP+WDS.

Then, on the WDS Settings page, enter the MAC addresses

of access points you are communicating with.

Ethernet Client. This mode lets up to four computers, game

consoles or other devices plug into the AP+4 for wireless

access to a wireless network. (In this mode, the AP+4 acts

as a full bridge, just passing data back and forth between the

Internet and network devices.)

Wireless ISP. In this mode, the AP+4 connects to the

Ethernet ports of up to four wired PCs or game consoles,

and connects those devices wirelessly to a wireless access

point. Use this mode if you know you need to use the AP+4's

NAT functionality. Most users who need to connect a

computer or game console to an access point should set up

the AP+4 as an Ethernet Client instead.

If you select Wireless ISP mode, use the Wireless Basic

Setup page to configure the AP+4 as a wireless client.

Click Next to continue.

Chapter 1. Installing the AP+4 9

5To have the AP+4’s clock automatically updated by an NTP

server, on the Selecting a Time Zone page, select a Time

Zone and an NTP Server, and click Next.

6If you need to set up or modify your wired local network, use

the LAN Interface Setup page (see page 37 of this manual

for more information).

7If you want to connect to the Internet, select the method on

the Setting Up Internet Access page.

•

If you are among the great majority of customers who

are using the AP+4 as a Router/Access Point or with a

cable modem, at WAN Access Type select DHCP

Client.

If you select DHCP Client and at the end of the

installation process you have not connected successfully

to the Internet, it is possible that you are running PPPoE

software. In that case, at WAN Access Type select

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). Then

enter the User Name and Password given to you by

your service provider.
