NXA-WAP1000 Smart Wireless Access Point

Preconfiguring the NXA-WAP1000

The procedure for completing the NXA-WAP1000’s essential configuration depends on whether you want it to 
be managed by an NXA-WAPZD1000 ZoneDirector or to operate as a standalone AP.

Configuring for Management by NXA-WAPZD1000

If an NXA-WAPZD1000 is installed on the network, you can configure the AP for management by the 
ZoneDirector. Simply connect the AP to same Layer 2 subnet as the ZoneDirector. When the NXA-WAP1000 
starts up, it will discover and register with ZoneDirector automatically.

Before starting this procedure, check the label on the back panel of the AP, and write down the MAC address 
of the AP. You will need the MAC address to identify the AP on the NXA-WAPZD1000’s Browser-Based 
Configuration Pages (page 19).

What You Will Need

Before starting with the configuration task, make sure that you have the following items or applications ready:



A computer from which you can access the NXA-WAPZD1000 Browser-Based Configuration 
Pages.



Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later) installed on the 
administrative computer.



One Ethernet cable.



The NXA-WAP1000.



 The optional power supply, if needed.

1. Connect the AP to a Power Source

The NXA-WAP1000 is designed to be powered via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), thus removing the need for a 
standard power connection. However, certain circumstances may require use of the optional power supply. To 
supply the NXA-WAP1000 with power via the power supply:

1.

Connect the jack on the power supply to the power connector on the rear panel of the NXA-WAP1000 
(FIG. 2).

2.

Connect the power supply to a power source.

3.

Verify that the power LED on the AP is green.

To supply the NXA-WAP1000 with power via PoE:

1.

Connect the Ethernet cable to a suitable connection, such as an NXA-WAPZD1000.

2.

Connect the other end of the cable to the NXA-WAP1000’s 10/100/1000 Ethernet port (FIG. 2).

If you use this method, make sure that you do not change the IP address of the NXA-
WAPZD1000 after the AP discovers and registers with it. If you change the 
ZoneDirector IP address, the AP will no longer be able to communicate with it and will 
be unable to rediscover it.

If you configure an NXA-WAP1000 for management by an NXA-WAPZD1000 and 
later decide that you want it to be a standalone AP, you will need to factory reset the 
AP.

For more information on the NXA-WAPZD1000, please refer to the 
NXA-WAPZD1000 Operation Reference Guide, available at
