Pre-Configured Ssid Profiles; Capwap - ZyXEL Communications NWA-3160 - V3.70 Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.2.5 Pre-Configured SSID Profiles

The NWA has two pre-configured SSID profiles.
• VoIP_SSID. This profile is intended for use by wireless clients requiring the
highest QoS level for VoIP telephony and other applications requiring low
latency. The QoS level of this profile is not user-configurable.
• Guest_SSID. This profile is intended for use by visitors and others who require
access to certain resources on the network (an Internet gateway or a network
printer, for example) but must not have access to the rest of the network. Layer
2 isolation is enabled (see
Intra-BSS traffic blocking is also enabled (see
These fields are all user-configurable.

1.3 CAPWAP

The NWA supports Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP).
This is ZyXEL's implementation of the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF)
CAPWAP protocol.
ZyXEL's CAPWAP allows a single access point to manage up to eight other access
points. The managed APs receive all their configuration information from the
controller AP. The CAPWAP dataflow is protected by Datagram Transport Layer
Security (DTLS).
The following ZyXEL AP models can be CAPWAP managed APs:
• NWA-3160
• NWA-3163
• NWA-3500
• NWA-3550
• NWA-3166
Note: If you are using several NWA models in your network including an NWA-3166,
you should use the NWA-3166 as the Controller AP.
