Overview

This Quick Start Guide shows how to set up and configure the NWA1100 (marked 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:

• Connect the Hardware
• Access the Web Configurator
• Configure the NWA1100
  Install the Hardware
• Set Up Power over Ethernet (Optional)

Connect the Hardware

1. Using the grey Ethernet cable, connect the ETHERNET port to a computer for initial configuration.
2. Connect the POWER12VDC socket to a power source using only the included power adaptor.

Connect the NWA1100's ETHERNET port to an Ethernet jack with network access after you have completed the initial configuration.

LEDS

• The SYS LED blinks amber, then turns steady green when the power is connected.
• One of the LEDs by the ETHERNET port turns on if the port is properly connected, and blinks when there is traffic. The amber light shines if the connection is at 100 Mbps. The green light shines if the connection is at 10Mbps.

If neither LED near the ETHERNET port turns on, check the cable connections to the port. Ensure your computer's network card is working properly.

Access the Web Configurator

Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled and pop-up blocking disabled.

Set Up Your Computer's IP Address

Note down your computer's current IP settings before you change them.

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 NWA1100. See your User's Guide for information on setting up your computer's IP address.

Log Into the Web Configurator

Even though you can connect to the NWA1100 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 NWA1100's default IP address) as the address.

File Edit View Favorites Tools Help

Address http://192.168.1.2

If you cannot access the Web configurator, make sure the IP addresses and subnet masks of the NWA1100 and the computer are in the same IP address range.

1. Enter 1234 (the default password) in the Password field and click Login.

1. 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 NWA1100. Refer to the User's Guide for how to use the RESET button.

1. The STATUS screen appears.

Configure the NWA1100

Configure System Settings

1. Click SYSTEM in the navigation panel.

2. The SYSTEM > General screen appears.

System Name is for identifying the NWA1100 on your network. Choose a distinctive name, or leave this at its default.

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

1. Click Apply.

Configure Wireless Settings

1. Click WIRELESS in the navigation panel. The Wireless Settings screen displays.

The wireless stations and the NWA1100 must use the same SSID, channel ID and encryption settings for wireless communication.

Operation Mode: Ensure that AP mode is selected.

Wireless Mode: Select the wireless standard you want your network to use. If you are not sure which to select, select 802.11b+g.

Channel: Select the wireless channel you want your network to use.

1. Click Apply to save your settings.

2. Click the Security tab. If you don't configure wireless security, anyone can access your network.

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 support the type of security you set. Click Apply when you have finished.

If the wireless clients cannot communicate with the network, ensure that the clients and the NWA1100 are using the same wireless security settings.

Configure IP Settings

1. You need to set your NWA1100's IP address to be in the same subnet as your network. Click IP in the navigation panel.

Select Get automatically from DHCP if you want to have a DHCP server on your network assign an IP address to the NWA1100.

If you have a specific IP address to use, select Use fixed IP address and enter it along with the subnet mask and gateway IP address.

Click Apply. The NWA1100 now uses the new IP settings; you can no longer connect to the NWA1100 using the default IP address.

If you change the NWA1100's IP address, you must use the new IP address when you next access the web configurator. If you select Get automatically from DHCP, check your DHCP server to determine the IP address it assigns to the NWA1100. Refer to your DHCP server's documentation for more information.

1. If you changed your computer's IP address, return it to its previous setting.
2. Change the wireless settings in the wireless stations to match those of the NWA1100, if necessary. Refer to your wireless adapter's documentation.

The NWA1100 is now ready to connect to your switch or router. You can do this now, or once you have attached the antennas and mounted the NWA1100.

If the NWA1100 cannot communicate with the network, ensure that the NWA1100 is using an IP address on the same subnet as the switch / router.

Install the Hardware

Figures in this section use generic icons. The ZyXEL Device in the picture is not an exact representation of your device.

Attaching Antennas

Screw the antennas clockwise onto the antenna connectors on the sides of your NWA1100. The antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.

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

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 NWA1100 high up in an area that is free of obstructions.

Wall-mounting

Do the following to attach your NWA1100 to a wall.

1. Screw the two screws provided with your NWA1100 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 NWA1100.

Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the NWA1100 with the connection cables.

1. Adjust the cables.

Run the connection cables down the back of the NWA1100 as shown in the following figure.

OR:

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

1. Align the holes on the back of the NWA1100 with the screws on the wall. Hang the NWA1100 on the screws.

Set Up Power over Ethernet (Optional)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the ability to provide power to your NWA1100 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 NWA1100.

In the following figure, Z is your NWA1100, A is the CAT 5 Ethernet cable, B is the PoE injector and C is the power cable.
