Central Extension Problem

Describe all nonisomorphic central extensions of Z_n by Z_2 x Z_2 meaning central group extensions of the following form

1 --> Z_n --> G --> Z_2 x Z_2 --> 1

Meaning, determine those nonisomorphic groups G that can be described by such an extension.  Please also explain how you came up with the answer.
