Installation Access Point Configuration The access point can be configured by connecting a PC to its Ethernet port and accessing the web interface. The default IP address of the access point is 192.168.1.240, with login user name “Admin” and default password “1988”. Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green wit

Initial Configuration Initial Configuration The NXA-WAP250G offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or above). The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface using the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make the initial changes by connecting a PC directly to the NXA-WA

Initial Configuration Access Point Mode - Roaming A wireless network can also support roaming for mobile users (FIG. 2). Multiple NXA-WAP250Gs can be placed so that a continuous coverage area is created. Wireless users within this area can move freely and remain connected to the network. All NXA-WAP250Gs and wireless stations in the network must be configured with the same SSID. Neighboring NXA-WAP250Gs should be set to non-interfering radio channels (that is, channels 1, 6, or 11 for 802.11

Initial Configuration Access Point Mode - Repeater and Bridge Mode The NXA-WAP250G can also operate in a “repeater and bridge” mode to extend the range of links to wireless clients (FIG. 3). The NXA-WAP250G uses Wireless Distribution System (WDS) to forward traffic between the repeater and the root access point. WDS is defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless connections between NXA-WAP250Gs. In repeater and bridge mode, the NXA-WAP250G supports an Ethernet link to a wired LAN. Note t
