Introduction

The ZyXEL NXC5200 Wireless LAN Controller works with up to 240

ZyXEL NWA5160N Access Points to provide complete wireless LAN

coverage to your organization or geographical area. The NXC5200

allows you to automatically manage and provide security for all

connected access points from a central platform.

How It Works

The NXC5200 (A) connects to a number of Power over Ethernet (PoE)

switches, such as the ES-2024PWR (B). They connect to the

NWA5160N Access Points (C), which in turn provide access to the

network for the wireless clients (D) within their broadcast radius.

Hardware Connections

To set up your NXC5200’s hardware connections:

1. Connect the NXC5200 to the device that manages your connection to

the network (A) using an RJ-45 cable. If you intend for a high number

of wireless clients to connect to the NXC5200, you may want to also

use a DHCP server to issue IP addresses (B) and an authentication

server (C) to handle login requests.

2. Connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device to one of the

NXC5200’s Ethernet ports using a standard 8-wire RJ-45 cable.

(Consult the documentation that came with the PoE device for

information on how to set it up and configure it.)

3. Connect the NWA5160N Access Points to the PoE device using

standard 8-wire RJ-45 cables.

4. Finally, plug in the NXC5200 using the provided power cord.

NXC5200 Management

The NXC5200 Web Configurator allows easy setup and management

using an Internet web browser.

In order to use the Web Configurator, you must:

• Use Internet Explorer 7.0 (or later) or Firefox 1.5 (or later)

• Allow pop-up windows

• Enable JavaScript

• Enable Java permissions

• Enable cookies

• The recommended screen resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels

6

To connect to the Web Configurator:

1. 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

allows it to communicate initially with the NXC5200, which has a

default IP address of 192.168.1.1.

2. Open your web browser and go to http://192.168.1.1. By default, the

NXC5200 automatically routes this request to its HTTPS server, and it

is recommended to keep this setting. The Login screen appears.

3. Enter

the default User Name (admin) and Password (1234),

then click the Login button.

4. On the subsequent Update Admin Info screen, change the

password as you see fit, then confirm the change and click Apply.

If you change the password then later forget it, you can use the RESET

button on the NXC5200’s front panel to restore the device its default

settings, including the administrator password.

5. The Web Configurator opens, displaying the Dashboard.

For more details on using the Web Configurator, see the included User’s

Guide or the Web Configurator’s built-in online help.

You can also reference the included CLI Reference Guide, which offers

detailed information on managing the NXC5200 through the command

line over Telnet or by Console port.

Whenever you make any changes in the Web Configurator, always

remember to click Apply to save them.

System Settings

The NXC5200 Configuration > System screens allow you to configure

various device-specific settings, such as Host Name, Domain Name,

Language, and DNS, to name a few.

ENGLISH

9

IP Setting

By default, the NXC5200 is set up to be connected to an upstream

gateway for WAN access and you do not need to make any special

configuration changes to it. The upstream device should have a

connected DHCP server running to provide all IP addresses for

downstream devices, including the connected APs. All you need to do is

connect the devices as described in Hardware Connections on page 4.

Configuring the NXC5200’s IP Address

The NXC5200’s default default IP address is 192.168.1.1. This section

shows you how to change it to use an IP address consistent with your

own network’s topology.

1. Click Configuration > Network > Interface > VLAN..

10

2. Select vlan0 and then click the Edit button.

3. When the Edit Vlan window opens, scroll down to the IP Address

Assignment Settings.

Select Use Fixed IP Address, enter the new IP address and subnet

mask of the NXC5200, then click OK to save your changes.

4. Once the NXC5200’s IP has been changed, you must then put the

management computer in the same subnet in order to re-connect to

the Web Configurator.

Wireless Security Settings

It is strongly encouraged that you configure network security for your

wireless APs. While traffic entering the NXC5200 from upstream is

(presumably) monitored by the upstream device, traffic coming into it

from the downstream APs is only as safe and as secure as the settings

you configure on the NXC5200.

Even though you could allow the upstream device to handle all of the

security for the incoming downstream traffic, it is not recommended. The

NXC5200 has a comprehensive security suite for its wireless networks

and it should be utilized to relieve the burden from the upstream device.

1. Click Configuration > Object > AP Profile.

2. On the Radio screen, select the default object then click Edit.

12

3. On the Edit Radio Profile screen, scroll down to the MBSSID

Settings, select the first SSID Profile (default) and click OK.

4. Next, click the SSID tab, select the Security List sub-tab.

5. Select the default profile and click Edit.

ENGLISH

13

6. In the Edit Security Profile screen, select a Security Mode and then

configure it appropriately. (For details on the different security modes,

see the included User’s Guide). All wireless clients will then need to

use the same security mode and pre-shared key (if any) as the APs

on your wireless network. Click OK to save your settings.

7. Open the Configuration > Wireless > AP Management screen, then

select an AP and click Edit.

14

8. On the Edit AP screen, select default from the Radio 1 Profile list.

The default Security Profile object is linked to the default SSID

object, which in turn is linked to the default Radio Profile object. This

last step ties all three to the AP.

ENGLISH

15

Firewall

The firewall can block or allow services that use static port numbers. It

can also limit the number of user sessions. By default, the NXC5200’s

firewall is turned off. To enable and configure it, click Configuration >

Firewall.

Anti-Virus

The anti-virus feature protects downstream clients connected to the

network from virus/spyware infection. To enable and configure it, click

Configuration > Anti-X > Anti-Virus.

hardware installation to the Web Configurator screens and fields. It is

located as a PDF file on the included product disc.

You will also find it contains tutorials and device application examples.

Online Help
