If Smart Mesh is enabled, the Advanced Options section lets you define the role this AP should play in the
mesh network: Auto, Root AP, Mesh AP, or Disable (default is Auto). In most cases, leaving this setting
on Auto to reduce the risk of isolating a Mesh AP is highly recommended. Select Disable if you do not
want this AP to be part of your mesh network.
7.
If this AP is a Mesh AP and you want to manually set which APs can serve as its uplinks, select the
Manual radio button under Advanced Options > Uplink Selection (default is Smart). The other APs in
the mesh appear below the selection.
8.
Select the check box next to each AP that you want to allow the current AP to use as an uplink.
9.
Click OK to save your settings.
Optimizing Access Point Performance
The NXA-WAPZD1000, through the Browser-Based Configuration Pages, enables you to remotely monitor
and adjust key hardware settings on each of your network APs. After assessing AP performance in the context
of network performance, you can reset channels and adjust transmission power, or adjust the priority of certain
WLANs over others, as needed.
Adjusting AP Settings
1.
Go to Configure > Access Points.
2.
Review the Access Points table and identify an AP that you want to adjust.
3.
Click the Edit button in that AP row.
4.
Review and adjust any of the following Editing (AP) options:


Radio B/G Channel: Choose a specific channel for use by 802.11b/g devices from this drop-down
list.

5.
Click OK. The adjusted AP will be automatically restarted, and when it is active, will be ready for
network connections.
If you set Uplink Selection for an AP to Manual and the uplink AP that you selected is
off or unavailable, the AP status on the
Access Points page will appear as Isolated
Mesh AP.
Some options are read-only depending on the approval status.
