Introduction

The NWA-8500 is an access point that receives power from a PoE (power over Ethernet) WLAN controller. The NWA-8500 does not require a power adapter or power cord. You can just deploy the NWA-8500 in your wireless network with a PoE wireless switch. Through the NWA-8500 (labeled AP in the following figure), wireless clients on the WLAN can access the Internet or the wired network.

This guide shows you how to connect the NWA-8500 to a WLAN controller and hang your NWA-8500 on a wall.

1 Hardware Connections

Follow the steps below to connect your NWA-8500 for Internet access.

1 Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the ETHERNET port to a PoE WLAN controller's WLAN port. At the time of writing, you can connect only the NWA-8500 to the NXC-8160 model.

1.1 LEDs

Look at the LEDs (lights) on the NWA-8500.

The PWR, LAN, WLAN 1 and WLAN 2 LEDs are all on when the Ethernet port is properly connected. The LAN, WLAN 1 and WLAN 2 LEDs blink when there is traffic.

?

If none of the LEDs are on, check your connections, and inspect your cable for damage. Make sure that your wireless switch is powered on. If the LEDs are still off, contact your vendor.

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-8500 in a place that is high up and free of obstructions.

2.1 Wall-mounted

Follow the steps to attach your NWA-8500 to a wall.

See Product Specifications for the size of screws to use and how far apart to place them.

1. Locate a high position on the wall that is free of obstructions.
   2 Drill two holes for the screws.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.

3 Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap of about 0.5cm between the heads of the screws and the wall.
4 Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to hold the weight of the NWA-8500 with the connection cables.
5 Align the holes on the back of the NWA-8500 with the screws on the wall. Hang the NWA-8500 on the screws.
