This Quick Start Guide shows how to set up and configure the ZyXEL Device (marked Zin

the figure) to allow wireless clients to securely access your wired network. See your User’s

Guide for more information.

ENGLISH

1 Connect the Hardware

"The figures and screens shown in this Quick Start Guide are from the NWA-

3160. Your device may differ in minor ways.

1Using the grey Ethernet cable, connect the ETHERNET port to a computer for initial

configuration.

2Connect the POWER 12VDC socket to a power source using only the included power

adaptor.

ENGLISH

1.1 LEDs

•ThePWR/SYS LED turns steady green when the power is connected.

•TheETHN LED turns on if the ETHERNET port is properly connected, and blinks when

there is traffic. The LED turns green if the connection is at 10Mbps, and turns yellow if the

connection is at 100Mbps.

VIf the ETHN LED does not turn on, check the cable connection to the

ZyXEL Device’s ETHERNET port. Ensure your computer’s network card is

working properly.

2 Access the Web Configurator

"Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later

versions with JavaScript enabled and pop-up blocking disabled.

2.1 Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address

"Note down your computer’s current IP settings before you change them.

ENGLISH

First, 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 ensures that your computer can

communicate with your ZyXEL Device. See your User’s Guide for information on setting up

your computer’s IP address.

2.2 Log Into the Web Configurator

"Even though you can connect to the ZyXEL Device wirelessly, it is

recommended that you connect your computer to the ETHERNET port for

initial configuration.

1Launch your web browser. Enter

192.168.1.2 (the ZyXEL Device’s

default IP address) as the address.

VIf you cannot access the Web configurator, make sure the IP addresses

and subnet masks of the ZyXEL Device and the computer are in the same

IP address range (see Section 2.1).

ZyXEL Device. Refer to the User’s Guide for how to use the RESET

button.

enter the security settings

for your wireless network.

according to the type of

security you select in the

Security Mode field.

Select None if you do not

wish to use wireless

security.

This example uses WPA2-

PSK security, in which all

wireless clients must use

the same pre-shared key

to join the network.

Ensure that all your

wireless clients support the

type of security you set.

Click Apply when you

have finished.

that the clients and the ZyXEL Device are using the same wireless

security settings.
