Overview

This Quick Start Guide shows how to set up and configure the NWA-3100 (Z in the figure) to allow wireless clients to securely access your wired network. See your User's Guide for more information.

You may need your Internet access information.

To set up your wireless network you need to:

1 Connect the hardware.
2 Access the Web configurator.
3 Configure Internet access.
4 Install the hardware.
5 Set up Power over Ethernet (optional).

1 Connect the Hardware

1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the ETHERNET port to a computer for initial configuration.
2 Connect the POWER 12VDC socket to a power source using only the included power adaptor.

Connect the NWA-3100's ETHERNET port to an Ethernet jack with network access after you have completed the initial configuration.

1.1 LEDs

The PWR and ZyAIR LEDs turn on when the power is connected. The ETHN LED turns on if the ETHERNET port is properly connected.

If the PWR LED does not turn on, make sure you are using the correct power adaptor and that the power adaptor is plugged into an appropriate power supply. Unplug the power adaptor and plug it in again. If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your vendor.

If the ETHN LED does not turn on, check the cable connection to the NWA-3100's ETHERNET port. Ensure your computer's network card is working properly.

2 Access the Web Configurator

Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled.

2.1 Set Up Your Computer's IP Address

You must first set your computer to use a static IP address in the 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This ensures that your computer can communicate with your NWA-3100.

The following instructions are for the Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows XP operating systems.

1 In Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel.
In Windows 2000/NT, click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2 In Windows XP, click Network Connections.
In Windows 2000/NT, click Network and Dial-up Connections.
3 Right-click Local Area Connection and then click Properties.
4 Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (under the General tab in Windows XP) and click Properties.
5 The Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen opens (the General tab in Windows XP).

6 Select Use the following IP address and fill in the IP address (choose one in the range 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.254), Subnet mask (255.255.255.0), and Default gateway (192.168.1.2) fields.
7 Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window.
8 Click Close (OK in Windows 2000/NT) to close the Local Area Connection Properties window.

Close the Network Connections window.

2.2 Log Into the Web Configurator

Even though you can connect to the NWA-3100 wirelessly, it is recommended that you connect your computer to the ETHERNET port for initial configuration.

1 Launch your web browser. Enter 192.168.1.2 (the NWA-3100's default IP address) as the address.

If you cannot access the Web configurator, make sure the IP addresses and subnet masks of the NWA-3100 and the computer are in the same IP address range (see Section 2.1).

2 Click Login (the default password 1234 is already entered).
3 Change the login password by entering a new password and clicking Apply. Be sure to record the new password and keep it in a safe place.

If you change the password and then forget it, you will need to reset the NWA-3100. Refer to the User's Guide for how to use the RESET button.

4 Click Apply to replace the factory default certificate for added security; alternatively click Ignore to proceed if you do not want to change the certificate now.
5 The MAIN MENU screen appears.

Replace Factory Default Certificate

The factory default certificate is common to all NWA models. Click Apply to create a certificate using your NWA's MAC address that will be specific to this device.

MAIN MENU

Welcome to the ZyXEL embedded web configurator.

• Click Maintenance to access a range of maintenance submenus.

3 Configure Internet Access

1 Click SYSTEM in the navigation panel.

2 The SYSTEM > General screen appears.

System Name is for identifying the NWA-3100 on your network. Choose a distinctive name, or leave this at its default.

Domain Name: Enter a domain name if your ISP requires one for authentication. Otherwise you can leave it blank or set to whatever may have displayed automatically.

DNS Server(s): if your ISP gave you specific DNS (Domain Name System) settings, enter them here. Otherwise, leave these fields at their defaults.

3 Click Apply.

4 Click WIRELESS in the navigation panel. The following screen appears.

The wireless stations and the NWA-3100 must use the same SSID, channel ID and encryption settings for wireless communication.

Operating Mode: Ensure that Access Point mode is selected.

802.11 Mode: Select the wireless standard you want your network to use. If all the wireless clients support IEEE 802.11a, select 802.11a. Otherwise, select 802.11b+g.

Choose Channel ID: Select the wireless channel you want your network to use. To have the NWA-3100 automatically select a channel, click Scan instead.

SSID Profile: Select the SSID profile you want to configure for network access from the drop-down list box. This example uses the SSID03 profile.

5 Click Apply to save your settings.
6 Click the SSID tab. The following screen appears.

SSID03's default SSID (the name of the network) is ZyXEL03 and its default Security setting is Security01.

If the settings are different, or if you want to change the SSID, select SSID03 and click Edit to change the settings.

7 Click the Security tab. Ensure that Security01 is selected and click Edit.

8 This is where you can enter the security settings for your wireless network. The fields you fill in differ according to the type of security you select in the Security Mode field. Select None if you do not wish to use wireless security.

This example uses WPA2-PSK security, in which all wireless clients must use the same pre-shared key to join the network.

Ensure that all your wireless clients can use the type of security you set. Click Apply when you have finished.

9 Click IP in the navigation panel.

If you have an IP address to use, select Use fixed IP address and enter it along with the subnet mask and gateway IP address. Otherwise, select Get automatically from DHCP. Click Apply.

10 Change the wireless settings in the wireless stations to match those of the NWA-3100. Refer to your wireless adapter's documentation.

If you change the NWA-3100's IP address, you must use the new IP address when you next access the web configurator.

The device is now ready to connect to your wired network. You can do this now, or once you have installed the hardware.

If the wireless clients cannot access the wired network, verify that the IP address and the subnet mask of the NWA-3100 and the computers on the network are in the same range. If the ETHN LED is off, check the cables between the NWA-3100 and your computer or hub.

4 Install the Hardware

4.1 Attaching Antennas

When facing the front of the NWA-3100, the right antenna (main antenna) transmits and receives; the left antenna only receives.

1 Screw the antennas clockwise onto the antenna connectors on the sides of your NWA-3100. The antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.

Make sure the antennas are securely screwed onto the antenna connectors.

4.2 Hardware Mounting

In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless coverage area. For better performance, mount the NWA-3100 high up in an area that is free of obstructions.

Free-standing

Lie your NWA-3100 on a flat, level surface (a desk or shelf, for example) that is strong enough to support the weight of the NWA-3100 with connection cables.

Wall-mounted

Do the following to attach your NWA-3100 to a wall.

1 Screw two screws (not included) into the wall 60mm apart (see the figure in step 3). Use screws with 6mm 8mm ( 0.24'' 0.31'' ) wide heads. Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall. The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back of the NWA-3100.

Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the NWA-3100 with the connection cables.

2 Adjust the cables.

Run the connection cables down the back of the NWA-3100 as shown in the following figure.

OR:

Run the connection cables upward and along the edge of the ceiling.

3 Align the holes on the back of the NWA-3100 with the screws on the wall. Hang the NWA-3100 on the screws.

5 Set Up Power Over Ethernet (Optional)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the ability to provide power to your NWA-3100 via an 8-pin CAT 5 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a nearby power source.

A PoE injector (not included) is also needed to supply the Ethernet cable with power. This feature allows increased flexibility in the location of your NWA-3100.

In the following figure, Z is your NWA-3100, A is the CAT 5 Ethernet cable, B is the PoE injector and C is the power cable.
