NXA-WAP250G 802.11b/g Wireless Access Point
If you select Static IP, enter an appropriate IP address and subnet mask that are compatible
with your existing network.
If a management station exists on another network segment, then you must enter the IP
address for a Default Gateway that can route traffic between these segments.
Also enter the IP address for the Domain Name Server (DNS) to be used for host-name to IP
address resolution.
DHCP Server/NAT Setting
The NXA-WAP250G includes a DHCP server that can assign IP addresses to any wireless device.
Addresses are assigned from a common address pool configured on the NXA-WAP250G. You can
configure the address pool by specifying start and end IP addresses.
NAT is a standard method of mapping multiple “internal” IP addresses to one “external” IP address on
devices at the edge of a network. For the NXA-WAP250G, the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP
addresses assigned to wireless clients by the DHCP server in the NXA-WAP250G, and the external IP
address is the IP address assigned to the NXA-WAP250G itself. Note that the NXA-WAP250G IP
address is always in a different subnet from the DHCP server pool. The NXA-WAP250G uses the NAT
IP settings to route traffic from the wireless interface to the Ethernet network.

Step 3: Wireless VAP #1 Setting
The options on this page for VAP (
Virtual Access Point
) #1set the wireless Service Set Identifier (SSID)
and wireless security encryption key for the VAP#1 network (FIG. 11).
It is recommended to restrict one VAP network for only AMX Control Panels and let all other
wireless devices use the other VAP network or the second SSID.
VAP1 provides higher priority for wireless communications associated with this SSID,
relative to the second SSID (VAP2).
Repeaters only connect to VAP1 of the root AP.
Enter the SSID, or wireless network name, which all wireless stations must use to associate with the
NXA-WAP250G. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters
(
default:
Wireless Network - 1
).
The Wizard Setup contains two wireless security options;
Wired Equivalent Privacy (
WEP
)
Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared Key (
WPA-PSK
)
