messages 512 event logs or 1024 debug logs You can set the NWA/WAC to operate in either standalone AP or managed AP mode. When the NWA/ WAC is in standalone AP mode, it can serve as a normal AP, as an RF monitor to search for rouge APs to help eliminate network threats (if it supports monitor mode and rogue APs detection/containment), or even as a root AP or a wireless repeater to establish wireless links with other APs in a WDS (Wireless Distribution System). A WDS is a wireless connection between two or more APs. Your NWA/WAC’s business-class reliability, SMB features, and centralized wireless management make it ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks. It uses Multiple BSSID and VLAN to provide simultaneous independent virtual APs. Additionally, innovations in roaming technology and QoS features eliminate voice call disruptions. The NWA/WAC controls network access with Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering, and rogue Access Point (AP) detection. It also provides a high level of network traffic security, supporting IEEE 802.1x, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption. Your NWA/WAC is easy to install, configure and use. The embedded Web-based configurator enables simple, straightforward management and maintenance. See the Quick Start Guide for how to make hardware connections. 1.1.1 Management Mode The NWA/WAC is a unified AP and can work either in standalone AP mode or in managed AP mode. If the NWA/WAC and a Zyxel AP controller, such as the NXC2500 or NXC5500, are in the same subnet, it will be managed by the controller automatically. An AP controller uses Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP, see RFC 5415) to discover and configure multiple managed APs. To set the NWA/WAC to be managed by an AP controller in a different subnet or change between management modes, use the AC (AP Controller) Discovery screen (see Section 6.4 on page 82). Table 5 NWA/WAC Management Mode Comparison MANAGEMENT MODE DEFAULT IP ADDRESS UPLOAD FIRMWARE VIA Standalone AP Dynamic or Static (192.168.1.2) Web Configurator or FTP Managed AP Dynamic CAPWAP or FTP When the NWA/WAC is in standalone AP mode and connects to a DHCP server, it uses the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. Otherwise, the NWA/WAC uses the default static management IP address (192.168.1.2). You can use the AC Discovery screen to have the NWA/WAC work as a managed AP. When the NWA/WAC is in managed AP mode, it acts as a DHCP client and obtains an IP address from the AP controller. It can be configured ONLY by the AP controller. To change the NWA/WAC back to standalone AP mode, use the Reset button to restore the default configuration. Alternatively, you need to check the AP controller for the NWA/WAC’s IP address and use FTP to upload the default configuration file at conf/system-default.conf to the NWA/WAC and reboot the device. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 17 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1.2 MBSSID A Basic Service Set (BSS) is the set of devices forming a single wireless network (usually an access point and one or more wireless clients). The Service Set IDentifier (SSID) is the name of a BSS. In Multiple BSS (MBSSID) mode, the NWA/WAC provides multiple virtual APs, each forming its own BSS and using its own individual SSID profile. You can configure multiple SSID profiles, and have all of them active at any one time. You can assign different wireless and security settings to each SSID profile. This allows you to compartmentalize groups of users, set varying access privileges, and prioritize network traffic to and from certain BSSs. To the wireless clients in the network, each SSID appears to be a different access point. As in any wireless network, clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. For example, you might want to set up a wireless network in your office where Internet telephony (VoIP) users have priority. You also want a regular wireless network for standard users, as well as a ‘guest’ wireless network for visitors. In the following figure, VoIP_SSID users have QoS priority, SSID01 is the wireless network for standard users, and Guest_SSID is the wireless network for guest users. In this example, the guest user is forbidden access to the wired Land Area Network (LAN) behind the AP and can access only the Internet. Figure 1 Multiple BSSs NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 18 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1.3 Dual-Radio Some of the NWA/WAC models are equipped with dual wireless radios. This means you can configure two different wireless networks to operate simultaneously. Note: A different channel should be configured for each WLAN interface to reduce the effects of radio interference. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming. Figure 2 Dual-Radio Application 1.1.4 Root AP In Root AP mode, the NWA/WAC (Z) can act as the root AP in a wireless network and also allow repeaters (X and Y) to extend the range of its wireless network at the same time. In the figure below, both clients A, B and C can access the wired network through the root AP. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 19 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 3 Root AP Application On the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode, you can have multiple SSIDs active for regular wireless connections and one SSID for the connection with a repeater (repeater SSID). Wireless clients can use either SSID to associate with the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode. A repeater must use the repeater SSID to connect to the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode. When the NWA/WAC is in Root AP mode, repeater security between the NWA/WAC and other repeater is independent of the security between the wireless clients and the AP or repeater. When repeater security is enabled, both APs and repeaters must use the same pre-shared key. See Section 7.2 on page 85 and Section 12.2 on page 130 for more details. Unless specified, the term “security settings” refers to the traffic between the wireless clients and the AP. At the time of writing, repeater security is compatible with the NWA/WAC only. 1.1.5 Repeater The NWA/WAC can act as a wireless network repeater to extend a root AP’s wireless network range, and also establish wireless connections with wireless clients. Using Repeater mode, your NWA/WAC can extend the range of the WLAN. In the figure below, the NWA/WAC in Repeater mode (Z) has a wireless connection to the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode (X) which is connected to a wired network and also has a wireless connection to another NWA/WAC in Repeater mode (Y) at the same time. Z and Y act as repeaters that forward traffic between associated wireless clients and the wired LAN. Clients A and B access the AP and the wired network behind the AP through repeaters Z and Y. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 20 Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 4 Repeater Application When the NWA/WAC is in Repeater mode, repeater security between the NWA/WAC and other repeater is independent of the security between the wireless clients and the AP or repeater. When repeater security is enabled, both APs and repeaters must use the same pre-shared key. See Section 7.2 on page 85 and Section 12.2 on page 130 for more details. Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made. At the time of writing, repeater security is compatible with the NWA/WAC only. 1.2 Ways to Manage the NWA/WAC You can use the following ways to manage the NWA/WAC. Web Configurator The Web Configurator allows easy NWA/WAC setup and management using an Internet browser. This User’s Guide provides information about the Web Configurator. Command-Line Interface (CLI) The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the NWA/WAC. You can access it using remote management (for example, SSH or Telnet). See the Command Reference Guide for more information. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) This protocol can be used for firmware upgrades and configuration backup and restore. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 21 Chapter 1 Introduction Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) The NWA/WAC can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this User’s Guide. 1.3 Good Habits for Managing the NWA/WAC Do the following things regularly to make the NWA/WAC more secure and to manage it more effectively. • Change the password often. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. • Write down the password and put it in a safe place. • Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NWA/WAC to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the NWA/WAC; you can simply restore your last configuration. 1.4 Hardware Connections See your Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections. 1.5 NWA5301-NJ Hardware 1.5.1 110 Punch-Down Block This section shows you how to use a punch-down tool to seat an 8-wire Ethernet cable to the 110 punchdown block. You can connect a PoE switch to the 110 punch-down block to provide power and Internet access to the NWA through this connection. An 8-pin Ethernet cable has four pairs of color coded wires. Cut out one and a half inches of the jacket from the Ethernet cable to expose the wires. Untwist the wire pairs no more than one inch. Match each wire to the correct slot according to the color codes for wiring shown below.

NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 33 Chapter 1 Introduction Always use Maintenance > Shutdown or the shutdown command before you turn off the NWA/WAC or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt. Table 14 Starting and Stopping the NWA/WAC METHOD DESCRIPTION Turning on the power A cold start occurs when you turn on the power to the NWA/WAC. The NWA/WAC powers up, checks the hardware, and starts the system processes. Rebooting the NWA/ WAC A warm start (without powering down and powering up again) occurs when you use the Reboot button in the Reboot screen or when you use the reboot command. The NWA/ WAC writes all cached data to the local storage, stops the system processes, and then does a warm start. Using the RESET button If you press the RESET button on the back of the NWA/WAC, the NWA/WAC sets the configuration to its default values and then reboots. See Section 22.6 on page 212 for more information. Clicking Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or using the shutdown command Clicking Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or using the shutdown command writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes. Wait for the device to shut down and then manually turn off or remove the power. It does not turn off the power. Disconnecting the power Power off occurs when you turn off the power to the NWA/WAC. The NWA/WAC simply turns off. It does not stop the system processes or write cached data to local storage. The NWA/WAC does not stop or start the system processes when you apply configuration files or run shell scripts although you may temporarily lose access to network resources.

Figure 18 Warning Message 2.3.4 Tables and Lists The Web Configurator tables and lists are quite flexible and provide several options for how to display their entries. 2.3.4.1 Manipulating Table Display Here are some of the ways you can manipulate the Web Configurator tables. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 43 Chapter 2 The Web Configurator Click a column heading to sort the table’s entries according to that column’s criteria. Click the down arrow next to a column heading for more options about how to display the entries. The options available vary depending on the type of fields in the column. Here are some examples of what you can do: • Sort in ascending alphabetical order • Sort in descending (reverse) alphabetical order • Select which columns to display • Group entries by field • Show entries in groups • Filter by mathematical operators (<, >, or =) or searching for text. Select a column heading cell’s right border and drag to re-size the column. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 44 Chapter 2 The Web Configurator Select a column heading and drag and drop it to change the column order. A green check mark displays next to the column’s title when you drag the column to a valid new location. Use the icons and fields at the bottom of the table to navigate to different pages of entries and control how many entries display at a time. 2.3.4.2 Working with Table Entries The tables have icons for working with table entries. A sample is shown next. You can often use the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key to select multiple entries to remove, activate, or deactivate. Table 21 Common Table Icons Here are descriptions for the most common table icons. Table 22 Common Table Icons LABEL DESCRIPTION Add Click this to create a new entry. For features where the entry’s position in the numbered list is important (features where the NWA/WAC applies the table’s entries in order like the firewall for example), you can select an entry and click Add to create a new entry after the selected entry. Edit Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen where you can modify the entry’s settings. In some tables you can just click a table entry and edit it directly in the table. For those types of tables small red triangles display for table entries with changes that you have not yet applied. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 45 Chapter 2 The Web Configurator Table 22 Common Table Icons (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Remove To remove an entry, select it and click Remove. The NWA/WAC confirms you want to remove it before doing so. Activate To turn on an entry, select it and click Activate. Inactivate To turn off an entry, select it and click Inactivate. Object Reference Select an entry and click Object Reference to open a screen that shows which settings use the entry. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 46 CHAPTER 3 Setup Wizard 3.1 Accessing the Wizard When you log into the Web Configurator for the first time or when you reset the NWA/WAC to its default configuration, the wizard screen displays. Note: If you have already configured the wizard screens and want to open it again, click the Wizard icon on the upper right corner of any Web Configurator screen. 3.2 Using the Wizard This wizard helps you configure the NWA/WAC IP address, change time zone, daylight saving and radio settings, and edit an SSID profile to change general wireless and wireless security settings. 3.2.1 Country Code The welcome screen displays. Select the country where the NWA/WAC is located and click Next. Note: You cannot change the country code if the NWA/WAC products comply with the U.S. laws, policies and regulations and are to be sold to the U.S. market. Figure 19 Wizard: Country Code NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 47 Chapter 3 Setup Wizard 3.2.2 Time Zone Use this screen to configure the NWA/WAC’s time zone and daylight saving time. • Time Zone: Select the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). • Enable Daylight Saving: Select the option if you use Daylight Saving Time. Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts and ends. • Offset allows you to specify how much the clock changes when daylight saving begins and ends. Enter a number from 1 to 5.5 (by 0.5 increments). Click Prev to return to the previous screen. Click Next to proceed. Click Cancel to close the wizard without saving. Figure 20 Wizard: Time Zone 3.2.3 Uplink Use this screen to configure the NWA/WAC’s IP address. Uplink Connection: Select Auto (DHCP) if the NWA/WAC is connected to a router with the DHCP server enabled. You then need to check the router for the IP address assigned to the NWA/WAC in order to access the NWA/WAC’s web configurator again. Otherwise, select Static IP when the NWA/WAC is NOT connected to a router or you want to assign it a fixed IP address. You will need to manually enter: • the NWA/WAC’s IP address and subnet mask. • the IP address of the router that helps forward traffic. • a DNS server's IP address. The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a domain name to an IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.

Figure 21 Wizard: Uplink 3.2.4 Radio Use this screen to configure the NWA/WAC’s radio transmitter(s). • Channel Selection: Select Auto to have the NWA/WAC automatically choose a radio channel that has least interference. Otherwise, select Manual and specify a channel the NWA/WAC will use in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN. The options vary depending on the frequency band and the country you are in. • Maximum Output Power: Enter the maximum output power of the NWA/WAC. If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA/WAC to reduce interference with other APs. Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the NWA/WAC’s effective broadcast radius. Click Prev to return to the previous screen. Click Next to proceed. Click Cancel to close the wizard without saving. NWA / WAC Series User’s Guide 49 Chapter 3 Setup Wizard Figure 22 Wizard: Radio 3.2.5 SSID Use this screen to enable, disable or edit an SSID profile.
