Overview of Wireless Networks
When you have completed the NXA-WAPZD1000 Setup Wizard, you have a fully functional wireless
network, based on two secure WLANs (if you enabled the optional guest WLAN) with access for authorized
users and guests. The internal WLAN provides Zero-IT connectivity for “standard” client devices, those
clients running Windows XP SP2 (or later), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X, iPhone and iTouch and
utilizing WPA-ready NICs.
There are several scenarios in which you will want to create additional WLANs, in addition to the internal
WLAN:

To limit certain WLANs to groups of qualified users, to enhance security and efficiency (for
example, an “Engineering” WLAN with a closed roster of users).

To configure a specific WLAN with different security settings. For example, you may need a
WLAN that utilizes WEP encryption for wireless handheld devices that only support WEPkey
encryption.

To create special WLANs with different settings for specific purposes. For example, a VoIP WLAN
for voice traffic with background scanning and load balancing disabled, or a student WLAN that is
only available during school hours.
In the first scenario, specific WLANs (esp. regarding authentication and encryption algorithm) can be set up
that support specific groups of users. This requires a two-step process: (1) create the custom WLAN and link it
to qualified user accounts by “roles,” and (2) assist all qualified users to prepare their client devices for custom
WLAN connection.
As a result, you will have the default internal WLAN, plus the needed WLANs that fulfill different wireless
security or user segmentation requirements.

Zero-IT Activation: Zero-IT Activation simplifies the configuration of users' wireless settings.
Ask users to connect their wireless devices to the wired network, and
then go to the Activation URL shown below. After they download and run
the Zero-IT Activation application, their wireless devices will be
configured automatically for WLANs that support Zero-IT Activation.
Dynamic PSK: To provide maximum security, each user is assigned a unique pre-shared
key (PSK) when they activate their wireless access. You can set when
the PSK should expire, at which time users will be prompted to reactivate
their wireless access.
Dynamic PSK Batch Activation: DPSK batch generation provides two facilities to create multiple Dynamic
PSKs at once. You can specify the number of DPSK or upload a profile
file (*.csv) which contains information necessary to create DPSKs. Once
the generation is done, a result file will be downloaded for your reference.
