Zoom AP+2, WIRELESS-G

Chapter 3: Installing the AP+2 as a Repeater 19

2 Click System in the left navigational menu, then click

Operation Mode to open the Operating Mode page.

3 From the Operating Mode drop-down list, select Repeater.

4 Click the Save Changes button.

5 When a confirmation message appears, click OK to change the

operating mode. Another message will appear letting you know

that it may take a few moments while the unit resets itself and

changes mode. Click OK. (Once the AP+2 reboots itself, you

will be prompted to log into the Web Management Interface

again.)

6 Click Wireless in the left navigational menu, then click

Repeater Settings. The page that opens lists the WDS links of

the wireless networks and gateways detected by the AP+2.

(Each link is defined by the MAC address of the other

repeater-capable access point. This is because WDS

communicates using only MAC addresses at the Data Link

Layer. SSIDs are not used to communicate.)

7 Select a check box for each WDS link to which you want your

repeater to associate. You can select up to six WDS links.

Important! For every WDS link you select here, you must access the

repeater settings for that access point or wireless gateway and specify the

Zoom AP+2 as a WDS link.

8 If any of the wireless networks or gateways you just selected

has security applied, click WEP Configuration in the left

navigational menu. (WDS only supports WEP.) Specify the

same WEP security settings as the network, then click the Save

Changes button. This will allow your AP+2 to access the

wireless network/gateway. (If you need help specifying WEP

security on the AP+2, refer to Setting Up Security Using

WEP on page 24.)
