Overview

This Quick Start Guide shows how to set up and configure the NWA-3500 (Zin the figure)

to allow wireless clients to securely access your wired network. See your User’s Guide for

more information.

"You may need your Internet access information.

To set up your wireless network you need to:

1Connect the Hardware

2Access the Web Configurator

3Configure the NWA-3500

4Install the Hardware

5Set Up Power over Ethernet (Optional)

ENGLISH

1 Connect the Hardware

1Using an 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.

"Connect the NWA-3500’s ETHERNET port to an Ethernet jack with network

access after you have completed the initial configuration.

1.1 LEDs

The WDS/SYS LED blinks red while the NWA-3500 is starting up. When the NWA-3500 is

ready, the ZyAIR LED turns on and blinks when there is traffic.

ENGLISH

One of the ETHERNET LEDs on the RJ-45 ETHERNET port turns on if the ETHERNET port

is properly connected, and blinks when there is traffic. The green ETHERNET LED turns on

if the connection is at 10Mbps, and the yellow ETHERNET LED turns on if the connection

is at 100Mbps.

VIf the ZyAIR LED does not turn on, make sure you are using the correct

power adaptor and that the power adaptor is plugged into an appropriate

power supply. Unplug the power adaptor and plug it in again. If the error

persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should

contact your vendor.

If neither ETHERNET LED turns on, check the cable connection to the

NWA-3500’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.

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 NWA-3500. See your User’s Guide for information on setting up

your computer’s IP address.

ENGLISH

recommended that you connect your computer to the ETHERNET port for

initial configuration.

1Launch your web browser. Enter

192.168.1.2 (the NWA-3500’s

default IP address) as the address.

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

and subnet masks of the NWA-3500 and the computer are in the same IP

address range (see Section 2.1).
