Changing the System Name
When you first worked through the Setup Wizard, you were prompted for a network-recognizable system
name for the NXA-WAPZD1000. If needed, you can change that name by following these steps:
1.
In the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, click the Configure Tab to bring up the System page.
2.
In the System Name field (under Identity), delete the text, and then type a new name.The name should be
between 6 and 32 characters in length, using letters, numbers, underscores (_) and hyphens (-). Do not use
spaces or other special characters. The first character must be a letter. System names are case sensitive.
3.
Click Apply to save your settings. The change goes into effect immediately.
Changing the Network Addressing
If you need to update the IP address and DNS server settings of the NXA-WAPZD1000, follow the steps
outlined below.
1.
In the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, click the Configure Tab to bring up the System page.
2.
Review the Device IP Settings options.
3.
Select one of the following:
Manual: If you select Manual, enter the correct information in the now-active fields (IP Address,
Netmask, and Gateway are required).
DHCP: If you select DHCP, no further information is required.
4.
Click Apply to save your settings. You will lose your connection to the NXA-WAPZD1000.
5.
To log back into the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, use the newly assigned IP address in your Web
browser or use the UPnP application to rediscover the NXA-WAPZD1000.
Enabling The Built-in DHCP Server
The NXA-WAPZD1000 comes with a built-in DHCP server that you can enable to assign IP addresses to
devices that are connected to it. The NXA-WAPZD1000’s DHCP server will only assign addresses to devices
that are on its own subnet and part of the same VLAN (if VLANs are assigned).
Note that before you can enable the built-in DHCP server, the NXA-WAPZD1000 must be assigned a manual
(static) IP address. If you configured the device to obtain its IP address from another DHCP server on the
network, the options for the built-in DHCP server will not be visible on the System page.
To enable the built-in DHCP server:
1.
Click the Configure tab. The System page appears.
2.
Under the DHCP Server section, select the Enable DHCP check box.
3.
In Starting IP Address, type the first IP address that the built-in DHCP server will allocate to DHCP
clients.
4.
Note that the starting IP address must be on the same subnet as the IP address assigned to the device. If
the value that you typed is invalid, an error message appears and prompts you to let the device
automatically correct the value. Click OK to automatically correct the entry.
5.
In Number of IP, type the maximum number of IP addresses that you want to allocate to requesting
clients. The built-in DHCP server can allocate up to 255 IP addresses, including the one assigned to the
device. The default value is 200.
6.
In Lease Time, select a time period for IP addresses to be allocated to DHCP clients. Options range from
six hours to two weeks (default is one week).
As soon as the IP address has been changed, you will be disconnected from your
Browser-based Configuration Page connection to the NXA-WAPZD1000 You can log
into the Browser-Based Configuration Pages again by using the new IP address in
your Web browser.
Enabling the built-in DHCP server should only be done if no other DHCP servers are
available on the network. Note that the DHCP server in the NXA-WAPZD1000 can
support only a single subnet. If you enable the built-in DHCP server, enabling the
rogue DHCP server detector is highly recommended.
