Chapter 1 Introduction Your NWA/WAC’s business-class reliability, SMB features, and centralized wireless management make it ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks. It uses Multiple BSSID and VLAN to provide simultaneous independent virtual APs. Additionally, innovations in roaming technology and QoS features eliminate voice call disruptions.
Page 14: Dual-Radio
Chapter 1 Introduction To the wireless clients in the network, each SSID appears to be a different access point. As in any wireless network, clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. For example, you might want to set up a wireless network in your office where Internet telephony (VoIP) users have priority.
Page 15: Root Ap
Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 2 Dual-Radio Application 1.1.4 Root AP In Root AP mode, the NWA/WAC (Z) can act as the root AP in a wireless network and also allow repeaters (X and Y) to extend the range of its wireless network at the same time. In the figure below, both clients A, B and C can access the wired network through the root AP.
Page 16: Repeater
Chapter 1 Introduction On the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode, you can have multiple SSIDs active for regular wireless connections and one SSID for the connection with a repeater (repeater SSID). Wireless clients can use either SSID to associate with the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode. A repeater must use the repeater SSID to connect to the NWA/WAC in Root AP mode.
Page 17: Ways To Manage The Nwa/Wac
Chapter 1 Introduction Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made. At the time of writing, repeater security is compatible with the NWA/WAC only. 1.2 Ways to Manage the NWA/WAC You can use the following ways to manage the NWA/WAC.

Page 67: Network
H A P T E R Network 6.1 Overview This chapter describes how you can configure the management IP address and VLAN settings of your NWA/WAC. The Internet Protocol (IP) address identifies a device on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network.
Page 68 Chapter 6 Network Figure 38 CAPWAP Network Example Note: The NWA/WAC can be a standalone AP (default), or a CAPWAP managed AP. CAPWAP Discovery and Management The link between CAPWAP-enabled access points proceeds as follows: An AP in managed AP mode joins a wired network (receives a dynamic IP address). The AP sends out a discovery request, looking for a CAPWAP AP controller.
Page 69: What You Can Do In This Chapter
Chapter 6 Network • Get the controller’s IP address from a DNS server SRV (Service) record. • Broadcasting to discover the controller within the broadcast domain. Note: The AP controller needs to have a static IP address. If it is a DHCP client, set the DHCP server to reserve an IP address for the AP controller.

Balancing Use this section to configure wireless network traffic load balancing between the managd APs in this group.
Page 84: Disassociating And Delaying Connections
Chapter 7 Wireless 7.4.1 Disassociating and Delaying Connections When your AP becomes overloaded, there are two basic responses it can take. The first one is to “delay” a client connection. This means that the AP withholds the connection until the data transfer throughput is lowered or the client connection is picked up by another AP.
Page 85: Dcs
Chapter 7 Wireless Connections are kicked based on either idle timeout or signal strength. The NWA/WAC first looks to see which devices have been idle the longest, then starts kicking them in order of highest idle time. If no connections are idle, the next criteria the NWA/WAC analyzes is signal strength. Devices with the weakest signal strength are kicked first.
Page 86 Chapter 7 Wireless Figure 52 An Example Three-Channel Deployment Three channels are situated in such a way as to create almost no interference with one another if used exclusively: 1, 6 and 11. When an AP broadcasts on any of these three channels, it should not interfere with neighboring APs as long as they are also limited to same trio.
Page 87 Chapter 7 Wireless available bandwidth to the point where each connecting device receives a meager trickle, the load balanced AP instead limits the incoming connections as a means to maintain bandwidth integrity. There are three kinds of wireless load balancing available on the NWA/WAC: Load balancing by station number limits the number of devices allowed to connect to your AP.

Chapter 9 AP Profile WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between the AP and the wireless stations associated with it in order to keep network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption. WPA2 WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA.

Page 122 Chapter 12 Certificates Additionally, Jenny uses her own private key to sign a message and Tim uses Jenny’s public key to verify the message. The NWA/WAC uses certificates based on public-key cryptology to authenticate users attempting to establish a connection, not to encrypt the data that you send after establishing a connection. The method used to secure the data that you send through an established connection depends on the type of connection.
Page 123: Verifying A Certificate
Chapter 12 Certificates • Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file’s password is not connected to your certificate’s public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the NWA/WAC.

H A P T E R Antenna Switch 18.1 Overview Use this screen to adjust coverage depending on the orientation of the antenna. 18.1.1 What You Need To Know Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of a wireless LAN. On the NWA/WAC that comes with internal antennas and also has an antenna switch, you can adjust coverage depending on the orientation of the antenna for the NWA/WAC radios using the web configurator, the command line interface (CLI) or a physical switch.
Page 193 Chapter 18 Antenna Switch Figure 117 Maintenance > Antenna > Antenna Switch Select the Enable Software Control option to use the Web configurator to adjust coverage depending on each radio’s antenna orientation for better coverage. Select Wall if you mount the NWA/WAC to a wall.
Page 194: Reboot
H A P T E R Reboot 19.1 Overview Use this screen to restart the device. 19.1.1 What You Need To Know If you applied changes in the Web configurator, these were saved automatically and do not change when you reboot. If you made changes in the CLI, however, you have to use the write command to save the configuration before you reboot.
Page 195: Shutdown
H A P T E R Shutdown 20.1 Overview Use this screen to shut down the device. Always use Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or the shutdown command before you turn off the NWA/WAC or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt. 20.1.1 What You Need To Know Shutdown writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes.

H A P T E R Troubleshooting 21.1 Overview This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter. The potential problems are divided into the following categories. • Power, Hardware Connections, and LED • NWA/WAC Access and Login •...
Page 197: Nwa/Wac Access And Login
Chapter 21 Troubleshooting Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or PoE power injector to the NWA/WAC. If the problem continues, contact the vendor. 21.3 NWA/WAC Access and Login I forgot the IP address for the NWA/WAC. The default IP address (in standalone AP mode) is 192.168.1.2. If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults.
Page 198: Internet Access
Chapter 21 Troubleshooting • Try to access the NWA/WAC using another service, such as Telnet. If you can access the NWA/WAC, check the remote management settings to find out why the NWA/WAC does not respond to HTTP. • If your computer is connected wirelessly, use a computer that is connected to a LAN/ETHERNET port. I forgot the password.
Page 199: Wireless Connections
Chapter 21 Troubleshooting If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings on the wireless client are the same as the settings on the NWA/WAC. Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again. If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
Page 200 Chapter 21 Troubleshooting Make sure the radio or at least one of the NWA/WAC’s radios is operating in AP mode. Make sure the wireless adapter (installed on your computer) is working properly. Make sure the wireless adapter (installed on your computer) is IEEE 802.11 compatible and supports the same wireless standard as the NWA/WAC’s active radio.
Page 201 Chapter 21 Troubleshooting • Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file’s password is not connected to your certificate’s public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the NWA/WAC.
Page 202 Chapter 21 Troubleshooting In the Monitor > Wireless > AP Information > Radio List screen, there is no load balancing indicator associated with any APs assigned to the load balancing task. • Check to be sure that the AP profile which contains the load balancing settings is correctly assigned to the APs in question.
Page 203 Chapter 21 Troubleshooting • Detach the WAC6500 series indoor AP from the mounting bracket. How do I remove the NWA1123-AC PRO and WAC6103D-I indoor AP from its mounting bracket? • Find the down arrow close to the Ethernet ports, then use a thin flat tool (for example, a flat screw driver) to lift up a clip beneath 5GHz LED.
Page 204: Resetting The Nwa/Wac
Chapter 21 Troubleshooting • Turn the NWA1123-AC PRO or WAC6103D-I indoor AP counter-clockwise to detach it from the mounting bracket. 21.6 Resetting the NWA/WAC If you cannot access the NWA/WAC by any method, try restarting it by turning the power off and then on again.
Page 205: Getting More Troubleshooting Help
Chapter 21 Troubleshooting Make sure the Power LED is on and not blinking. Press the RESET button and hold it until the Power LED begins to blink. (This usually takes about ten seconds.) Release the RESET button, and wait for the NWA/WAC to restart. You should be able to access the NWA/WAC using the default settings.
Page 206: Appendix A Importing Certificates
P P E N D I X Importing Certificates This appendix shows you how to import public key certificates into your web browser. Public key certificates are used by web browsers to ensure that a secure web site is legitimate. When a certificate authority such as VeriSign, Comodo, or Network Solutions, to name a few, receives a certificate request from a website operator, they confirm that the web domain and contact information in the request match those on public record with a domain name registrar.

Page 219: Appendix B Ipv6
P P E N D I X IPv6 Overview IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 10 IP addresses.
Page 220 Appendix B IPv6 Unspecified Address An unspecified address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 or ::) is used as the source address when a device does not have its own address. It is similar to “0.0.0.0” in IPv4. Loopback Address A loopback address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1) allows a host to send packets to itself. It is similar to “127.0.0.1” in IPv4.
Page 221 Appendix B IPv6 Subnet Masking Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block’s 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal characters. For example, FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.
Page 222 Appendix B IPv6 Each DHCP client and server has a unique DHCP Unique IDentifier (DUID), which is used for identification when they are exchanging DHCPv6 messages. The DUID is generated from the MAC address, time, vendor assigned ID and/or the vendor's private enterprise number registered with the IANA. It should not change over time even after you reboot the device.
Page 223 Appendix B IPv6 ICMPv6 Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6 or ICMP for IPv6) is defined in RFC 4443. ICMPv6 has a preceding Next Header value of 58, which is different from the value used to identify ICMP for IPv4. ICMPv6 is an integral part of IPv6.
Page 224 Appendix B IPv6 MLD allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the presence of MLD listeners who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast groups the hosts want to join on its network. MLD snooping and MLD proxy are analogous to IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy in IPv4. MLD filtering controls which multicast groups a port can join.
Page 225 Appendix B IPv6 Install Dibbler and select the DHCPv6 client option on your computer. After the installation is complete, select Start > All Programs > Dibbler-DHCPv6 > Client Install as service. Select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Double click Dibbler - a DHCPv6 client.
