NXA-WAPZD1000 ZoneDirector Smart WLAN Controller
Installation and Setup
Introduction
Setting up a wireless network with the NXA-WAPZD1000 begins when you disperse a number of wireless
access points (APs) for efficient coverage of your worksite. After you connect the APs to the NXA-
WAPZD1000 (through network hubs or switches) and complete the “Zero-IT” setup, you have a secure
wireless network for both registered users and guest users.
After using the Browser-Based Configuration Pages (for more information, please refer to the Browser-Based
Configuration Pages section on page 19) to set up user accounts for staff and other authorized users, your
WLAN can be put to full use, enabling users to share files, print, check email, and more. And as a bonus, guest
workers, contractors and visitors can be granted controlled access to your Ruckus WLAN with a minimum of
setup.
You can now fine-tune and monitor your network through the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, which
enables you to customize additional WLANs for authorized users, manage your users, monitor the network's
security and performance, and expand your radio coverage, if needed.
Powering the NXA-WAPZD1000
To power up the NXA-WAPZD1000, connect the appropriate power adapter (for more information, please
refer to the Power Adapter Compatibility section on page 11) to the power jack at the rear of the device and
press the Power button to apply power. Check the LED in the Power button on the front of the device: if it is
not lit, the device is NOT receiving power. If the power cable or adapter is connected to a power source, verify
that the power cable is connected properly to the power jack.
To shut off the device, press and hold the Power button for one to two seconds, and the Status LED will switch
from green to amber to denote that the device is shut down. Press the button again to restart the device.
Resetting the NXA-WAPZD1000
The NXA-WAPZD1000 may be reset in one of two modes. To reset the device while saving its current
configuration, press the Reset button on the front of the device for one to two seconds.

now start flashing green to denote its default status.
