Adding New Access Points to the WLAN
If your staffing or wireless coverage needs increase, you can add APs to your network easily and efficiently.
Depending on your network security preferences, the new APs can be automatically detected and activated, or
new APs may require per-device manual approval before becoming active.
The Automatic AP Approval process is enabled by default, automatically approving AP join requests. If you
prefer, you can disable Automatic Approval. If this is your preference, the NXA-WAPZD1000 will detect new
APs, alert you to their presence, and then wait for you to manually “approve” their activation.
Connecting the APs to the WLAN
1.
Place the new APs in the appropriate locations.
2.
Write down the MAC address (on the bottom of each device) and note the specific location of each AP as
you distribute them.
3.
Connect the APs to the LAN with Ethernet cables.
4.
Connect each AP to a power source.
Verifying/Approving New APs
1.
Go to Monitor > Access Points.
2.
The Access Points page appears, showing the first 15 access points that have been approved or are
awaiting approval. If the NXA-WAPZD1000 is managing more than 15 access points, the Show More
button at the bottom of the page will be active. To display more access points in the list, click Show More.
When all access points are displayed on the page, the Show More button disappears.
3.
Review the Currently Managed APs table.
If the Configure > Access Points > Access Points Policies > Approval check box is checked, all
new APs should be listed in the table, and their Status should be “Connected.”
If the Automatic AP Approval option is disabled, all new APs will be listed, but their status will be
“Approval Pending.”
4.
Under the Action column, click Allow. After the status is changed from “Disconnected” to “Connected,”
the new AP is activated and ready for use.
The values in bold are the users' MAC addresses.
For Automatic AP Approval to work, the APs that you are adding must be on the
same IP subnet or VLAN as the NXA-WAPZD1000.
If using Gigabit Ethernet, ensure that you use Cat5e or better Ethernet cables.
If the APs that you are using are PoE-capable and power sources are not convenient,
they will draw power through the Ethernet cabling if connected to a PoE-ready hub or
switch.
