NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide

With PoE

1. Connect the NWA to a PoE device with an 8-pin CAT5e cable.

2. Connect the PoE device to an upstream switch or directly to the NXC-

5200 Wireless LAN Controller.

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide

Without PoE

1. Connect the NWA to to an upstream switch or directly to the NXC-

5200 Wireless LAN Controller.

2. Connect the NWA to an appropriate power outlet and turn on the

power.

Console Port Configuration

The NWA is pre-configured, but you may use the console port to

manually configure the NWA if necessary. Connect a PS-2 console cable

from the console port on your computer to the console port on your

NWA. Run a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal, with

the following settings:

• Speed 115,200 bits per second

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide

• 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

• No flow control.

NWA IP Address

The NWA is pre-configured to get a dynamic IP address from a DHCP

server by default.

Use these commands if you want to give the NWA a fixed IP address.

NWA-NXC Discovery

Use the AP Controller (NXC5200) to remotely manage the NWAs in your

network. If the NXC and NWA are in the same network, then the NWA

can find the NXC automatically by broadcasting.

If the NWA and NXC are not in the same network, you must configure

the NWA to find the NXC in one of two ways:

• Static Discovery

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip address

192.168.1.37 255.255.255.0

Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip gateway

192.168.1.32

Enter configuration mode

The NWA IP address and subnet mask

The NWA gateway

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide

Manually enter the IP address of the NXC on the NWA. You can enter up

to two IP addresses for the NXC.

• Dynamic Discovery via DHCP server

If the NWA gets a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server, you can

simultaneously let it get the NXC IP address by configuring it in the

DHCP server using DHCP Option 138. You can configure up to two NXC

IP addresses on the DHCP server.

• Test the Connection

Ping the NXC from the NWA to test the connection.

Router# ping 192.168.1.1 (the NXC IP address)

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.254) 56(84) bytes of data.

If it fails, configure the gateway IP address of the NWA.

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip gateway 192.168.1.32

If the NWA and NXC are in a VLAN, configure the VLAN ID (tagged or

untagged) using this command:

• capwap ap vlan vlan-id VID { tag | untag } (VID from 1 to 4094)

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# capwap ap ac-ip

192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2

Router(config)# show capwap ap

discovery-type

Discovery type : Static AC IP

Enter configuration mode

These are the NXC IP addresses

Confirm that static discovery is used to find the

NXC.

AC is the AP Controller, that is, the NXC.

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide

For example:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# capwap ap vlan vlan-id 2 tag

To see detailed NWA – NXC connection status, use the following

command:

Router# show capwap ap info

Wall Mounting Instructions

Do not install the NWA in an inverted horizontal position under a desk or

tabletop.

To hang your NWA on a wall:

1. Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy wall.

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide

2. Drill two pilot holes for the screws. Make sure the distance between

the centers of the holes and the size of screws match the

specifications below.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall

when drilling holes for the screws.

3. Do not screw the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap

of about 0.5 cm between the heads of the screws and the wall.

4. Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to

hold the weight of the NWA with the connection cables.
