4. The Z2 Indicator
The Z2 indicator illuminates in a range of colours
to indicate different operational conditions. Table 1
describes the colours and their meanings.
5. Joining Wireless Networks and

configuring iTunes

In order to play your iTunes music on your Z2 using
AirPlay, your Z2 must join the same network as the
computer on which iTunes is installed and running.
Z2 network addressing is set to DHCP which means
that once it has joined the wireless network it will
not require any further configuration. You will need
to know your home wireless network name and
password before you start.
Note: You will need to disconnect the power
if you have already used your product without
configuring a wireless network.
5.1 Set up your Z2 with your iOS device
(iPod touch, iPad or iPhone)
• Get 'Bowers & Wilkins Control' App from the
App Store or by visiting www.bowers-wilkins.
com/control
• Follow the onscreen instructions.

5.2 Set up with Mac or PC

• Get 'Bowers & Wilkins Control' App from the
App Store or by visiting www.bowers-wilkins.

5.3 Setting up Z2 using a wired
connection
To set up Z2 to join your wireless network you
should first connect it physically to the Mac/PC using
an Ethernet cable. You will need to ensure that your
Mac/PC wireless capabilities are disabled. Once
connected you can browse to the Z2 setup page.
Follow the steps described below.
Note: Z2 can also use a wired network for AirPlay
streaming.
• Unplug every cable from the Z2 and undock any
docked iPod or iPhone.
• Using an Ethernet cable connect the Z2 rear panel
ETHERNET socket to an Ethernet socket on the
computer.
• Connect the power cable. Z2 will switch on with
the indicator pulsing red.
• Once the Z2 indicator begins to flash yellow.
Press and hold the '+' volume button on Z2 for 4
seconds. Z2's indicator will show solid purple once
the wired network connection is established.
• Using an internet browser application running on
the computer connected to the Z2 type the Z2
default network address (http://169.254.1.1) in
the browser address field and press "return". This
will open the Z2 setup page.
• The setup page provides the option to change
the Z2 name. Changing the name is useful if more
than one Z2 is to be connected to the network.
Enter a new name (Z2 Kitchen for example) in the
Name box.
• Select your home network Name from the
drop down list and enter the Password in the
appropriate box. Take care to type the password
correctly.
• When you are finished, click on the Apply button,
then close the Z2 setup page. Disconnect the
Ethernet cable.
• The Z2 indicator will change to steady purple when
the wireless network connection is established.
This will take up to 3 minutes.
Note: If Z2 fails to connect to your home wireless
network, the most likely fault is an incorrectly
entered network password. Follow the reset
instructions in Section 7 and begin the network
setup procedure again.
5.4 Configuring iTunes
With Z2 connected to your home network (wired or
wireless) you can configure iTunes to use it as an
output device. Select Z2 as an output option in the
pop-up AirPlay menu. iTunes will now play through
the Z2.
Multiple Z2 units can be connected to the wireless
network and used to provide audio in separate
rooms. Each will be available in the iTunes devices
menu, identified by either the names specified in the
setup page, or by default the last three digits of their
serial numbers.
