NXA-WAPZD1000 ZoneDirector Smart WLAN Controller
In the Max Clients box, type the maximum number of clients per AP (default is 100). This is the
maximum that any AP radio can accept. Because an AP/radio can provide service to multiple
WLANs, you can also limit the number of clients that can associate to a WLAN, on a per AP/per
radio basis.

Applying Global Configuration Settings to APs
The following settings can be applied globally to all APs managed by the NXA-WAPZD1000:
TX Power Adjustment: Allows you to manually set the transmit power on all 2.4GHz or 5GHz
radios to Full, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 or minimum (default is Auto).
11N Only Mode: Force all 802.11n APs to accept only 802.11n compliant devices on the 2.4GHz or
5GHz radio. If N-Only is selected, all older 802.11b/g devices will be denied access to the radio.
The following setting can be applied to all APs of a particular model managed by the NXA-WAPZD1000:
Disable Status LEDs: When managed by the NXA-WAPZD1000, you can disable the LEDs for
NXA-WAP1000 APs.
Global configuration settings can be superseded by individual AP settings. For example, if you want to set the
transmit power to a lower setting for only a few specific APs, leave the TX Power Adjustment at Auto under
Global Configuration, then go to the individual APs (via Configure > Access Points > Edit specific AP) and
set the TX Power setting to a lower setting.
Managing Access Points Individually
You can add a description, or change the location, channelization, channel, or transmit power settings of a
managed access point by editing the AP’s parameters. Additionally, you can manually assign an IP address or
disable WLAN service entirely for a specific radio (on dual radio APs).
To edit the parameters of an access point:
1.
Go to Configure > Access Points.
2.
Find the AP to edit in the Access Points table, and then click Edit under the Actions column.
3.
Edit any of the following:
Device Name: Give a name to the AP.
Description: Enter a description for the AP. This description is used to identify the AP in the Map
View.
Location: Enter a recognizable location for the AP.
GPS Coordinates: Enter GPS coordinates for location on Google Maps, if using FlexMaster.
4.
If the AP is a dual radio AP, the following parameters can be configured independently per radio:
Channelization: (For 802.11n only) The “channel width” determines the manner in which the spectrum is used
during transmission.
Channel: This is the channel used by the AP’s network.
TX Power: Specifies the maximum transmit power level relative to the calibrated power.
WLAN Group: Specify a WLAN group for this radio.
WLAN Service: Uncheck this check box to disable WLAN service entirely for this radio.
(This option can be useful if you want 802.11n APs to provide service only on the 5.0 GHz radio, in
order to reduce interference on the 2.4 GHz band, for example.) You can also disable service for a
particular WLAN at specific times of day or days of the week, by setting the Service Schedule. For
more information, please refer to the Advanced Options section on page 56.
5.
If the AP is currently connected to the NXA-WAPZD1000, the Network Setting options appear. Use these
options to configure the IP settings of the AP.
If you want the AP to keep its current IP address, click Keep AP's Setting. If the AP’s IP address
has not been set, it will automatically attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
If you want the AP to automatically obtain its IP address settings from a DHCP server on the
network, click the DHCP option in Management IP. You do not need to configure the other settings
(netmask, gateway, and DNS servers).
If you want to assign a static IP address to the AP, click the Manual option in Management IP, and
then set the values for the following options:
- IP Address
