Initial Configuration

The NXA-WAP250G offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the configuration of all
the unit's features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can access the management interface using a web
browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or above).
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface using the Setup Wizard. It
is recommended to make the initial changes by connecting a PC directly to the NXA-WAP250G before
installing it in its intended location. The NXA-WAP250G has a default IP address of 192.168.1.240 and
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If your PC has an IP address on the same subnet (that is, the PC and
NXA-WAP250G addresses both start 192.168.1.x), you can connect immediately to the web interface.
Otherwise, you must first change your PC's IP address to be on the same subnet as the NXA-WAP250G.
The NXA-WAP250G can operate in one of two modes:
In addition, the NXA-WAP250G offers full network management capabilities through an easy to
configure web interface.

Access Point Mode

The NXA-WAP250G provides access to a wired LAN for wireless stations (FIG. 1). The wireless
network is defined by a name, called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). All wireless stations must have
the same SSID, radio channel, and security settings as the NXA-WAP250G to be able to communicate.

NXA-WAP250G 802.11b/g Wireless Access Point
Access Point – Providing connectivity to wireless clients in the service area.
Repeater and Bridge – Providing an extended link to a remote access point from the wired
LAN. Access Point working in this mode could connect to another AP in Access Point mode
or Repeater and Bridge mode. Whenever there are two APs having wireless link together (one
in Access Point or Repeater and Bridge mode, another using Repeater and Bridge mode), and
also have wired link separately, these two APs are also working as "bridging" for the two
wired links.
