NXA-WAP1000 

Smart Wireless Access Point

Overview

The NXA-WAP1000 (US operation: 

FG2255-51

; Operation outside the US: 

FG2255- 53

), 

powered by Ruckus™, is a high-performance 802.11a/b/g/n smart Wi-Fi access point for 
homes and businesses that utilizes industry acclaimed Ruckus Wireless Technology. The 
NXA-WAP1000 can be deployed as a standalone access point or as part of a centrally-
controlled Smart Wireless LAN when combined with the AMX NXA-WAPZD1000 Wireless 
LAN Zone Director. With a sleek modern design, small form factor, and Power over Ethernet 
(PoE), the NXA-WAP1000 can be mounted on the ceiling to maximize performance without 
disturbing aesthetics or requiring a local power supply.

LED Indicators

The access point includes five status LED indicators, as described in the following 
table.

Power

The access point does not have a power switch. It utilizes Power Over Ethernet (PoE), 
which draws power from its Ethernet connection. An additional power supply 
(

FG2255- 61

, not included) may also be used in circumstances where PoE is not 

available. 

Ethernet Ports 

The access point has two 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and one 10/100/1000 RJ-45 
port that can be attached directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments. These 
segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3-2005 specifications. These ports supports 
automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network 
connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. 

Reset Button

The Hard Reset button is used to restart the access point or to restore the factory 
default configuration. If you hold down the button for less than 10 seconds, the access 
point will perform a hardware reset. If you hold down the button for 10 seconds or 
more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed, and the factory 
default configuration is restored to the access point.
