Overview

This Quick Start Guide shows how to set up and configure the NWA3550 Access Point

(marked AP in 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.

This guide shows you how to:

1Connect the Hardware

2Access the Web Configurator

3Configure the NWA3550

4Install the Hardware

Internet

Ethernet

ENGLISH

1 Connect the Hardware

1Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port (opposite the power socket) on the

included MS-POE-IJ power injector (Ain the figure) to the NWA3550’s Ethernet port.

2Use an Ethernet cable to connect the other Ethernet port (next to the power socket) to

a computer for initial configuration.

3Connect the power injector to a proper power source using the included power cord.

The NWA3550 receives it's power from the power injector using PoE (Power over

Ethernet).

4After you have completed the initial configuration, connect the Ethernet port (next to the

power socket) of the power injector to an Ethernet jack with network access (for

example, a broadband modem or router).

1.1 Power Injector Light

• The LED (light) on the power injector shines green steadily when the power is connected.

VIf the LED does not turn on, check your connections and inspect the cables

for damage. If the LED is still off, contact your vendor.

ENGLISH

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 NWA3550. 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 NWA3550 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 NWA3550’s default

IP address) as the address.

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

and subnet masks of the NWA3550 and the computer are in the same IP

address range (see Section 2.1).

ENGLISH

2Click Login (the default password

1234 is already entered).

3Change the login password by

entering a new password and

clicking Apply. Be sure to record the

new password and keep it in a safe

place.

VIf you change the password and then forget it, you will need to reset the

NWA3550. Contact your vendor.

4Click Apply to replace the factory

default certificate for added security;

alternatively click Ignore to proceed

if you do not want to change the

certificate now.

ENGLISH

the NWA3550 automatically select a channel, click Scan instead.

SSID Profile: Select the SSID profile you want to configure for network access from the

drop-down list box. This example uses the SSID03 profile.

2Click Apply to save your settings.

3Click the SSID tab. The

following screen appears.

Ensure the settings for

SSID03 are at their default

values.

Edit.

4Click the Security tab.

Ensure that Security01 is

selected and click Edit.

If you don’t configure

wireless security, anyone

can access your network.

ENGLISH

5This is where you can enter

the security settings for

your wireless network. The

fields you fill in differ

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.

VIf the wireless clients cannot communicate with the network, ensure that

the clients and the NWA3550 are using the same wireless security

settings.
