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.
