Introduction

The ZyXEL NXC5200 Wireless LAN Controller works with up to 240

ZyXEL NWA5160N Access Points to provide complete wireless LAN

coverage to your organization or geographical area. The NXC5200

allows you to automatically manage and provide security for all

connected access points from a central platform.

How It Works

The NXC5200 (A) connects to a number of Power over Ethernet (PoE)

switches, such as the ES-2024PWR (B). They connect to the

NWA5160N Access Points (C), which in turn provide access to the

network for the wireless clients (D) within their broadcast radius.

ENGLISH

Hardware Connections

To set up your NXC5200’s hardware connections:

1. Connect the NXC5200 to the device that manages your connection to

the network (A) using an RJ-45 cable. If you intend for a high number

of wireless clients to connect to the NXC5200, you may want to also

use a DHCP server to issue IP addresses (B) and an authentication

server (C) to handle login requests.

2. Connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device to one of the

NXC5200’s Ethernet ports using a standard 8-wire RJ-45 cable.

(Consult the documentation that came with the PoE device for

information on how to set it up and configure it.)

ENGLISH

3. Connect the NWA5160N Access Points to the PoE device using

standard 8-wire RJ-45 cables.

4. Finally, plug in the NXC5200 using the provided power cord.

NXC5200 Management

The NXC5200 Web Configurator allows easy setup and management

using an Internet web browser.

In order to use the Web Configurator, you must:

• Use Internet Explorer 7.0 (or later) or Firefox 1.5 (or later)

• Allow pop-up windows

• Enable JavaScript

• Enable Java permissions

• Enable cookies

• The recommended screen resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels

To connect to the Web Configurator:

1. Set your computer to use a static IP address in the 192.168.1.3 -

192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This

allows it to communicate initially with the NXC5200, which has a

default IP address of 192.168.1.1.

2. Open your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.1. By default, the

NXC5200 automatically routes this request to its HTTPS server, and it

is recommended to keep this setting. The Login screen appears.

3. Enter the default User Name (admin) and Password (1234),

then click the Login button.

4. On the subsequent Update Admin Info screen, change the

password as you see fit, then confirm the change and click Apply.

If you change the password then later forget it, you can use the RESET

button on the NXC5200’s front panel to restore the device its default

settings, including the administrator password.

ENGLISH

5. The Web Configurator opens, displaying the Dashboard.

For more details on using the Web Configurator, see the included User’s

Guide or the Web Configurator’s built-in online help.

You can also reference the included CLI Reference Guide, which offers

detailed information on managing the NXC5200 through the command

line over Telnet or by Console port.

Whenever you make any changes in the Web Configurator, always

remember to click Apply to save them.

System Settings

The NXC5200 Configuration > System screens allow you to configure

various device-specific settings, such as Host Name, Domain Name,

Language, and DNS, to name a few.

ENGLISH

IP Setting

By default, the NXC5200 is set up to be connected to an upstream

gateway for WAN access and you do not need to make any special

configuration changes to it. The upstream device should have a

connected DHCP server running to provide all IP addresses for

downstream devices, including the connected APs. All you need to do is

connect the devices as described in Hardware Connections on page 4.

Configuring the NXC5200’s IP Address

The NXC5200’s default default IP address is 192.168.1.1. This section

shows you how to change it to use an IP address consistent with your

own network’s topology.

1. Click Configuration > Network > Interface > VLAN..

2. Select vlan0 and then click the Edit button.

3. When the Edit Vlan window opens, scroll down to the IP Address

Assignment Settings.

Select Use Fixed IP Address, enter the new IP address and subnet

mask of the NXC5200, then click OK to save your changes.

4. Once the NXC5200’s IP has been changed, you must then put the

management computer in the same subnet in order to re-connect to

the Web Configurator.
