I Product Overview
1 What It Does
The NWA200 is a best-in-class 802.11n indoor access point designed specifically for
business-class environments such as hotels, airports, coffee shops, shopping centers,
sporting venues, and university campus. With standard install design and stylish
appearance, it nicely fits into an 86-type wall jack and seamlessly blends in with most
interior decorations in an office or room. No need to rebuild or change existing walls. The
unit comes with a built-in USB port that charges mobile devices such as a smart phone via
a USB cable as well as a RJ11 port for connecting telephone. Integrated 802.3af Power
over Ethernet (PoE) allows installation in areas where power outlets are not readily
available. Client connected to the device’s LAN port can still communicate with the remote
uplink device (PoE switch) even when no power is supplied.

1 Configure PC TCP/IP Settings
Connect your PC to this device wirelessly or using an Ethernet cable. The default IP
address of your wireless access point is 192.168.2.200. If you are using the default IP
subnet, the computer you are using to connect to the device should be configured with an
IP address that starts with 192.168.2.x (where x can be any number between 2~253) and
a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0; if you have changed the subnet of the wireless access
point, the computer you are using to connect must be within the same subnet.
Tip
If you are not clear about how to set up your PC's IP address, see1 Configure PC TCP/IP
Settings.
2 Log in to Device
1. Launch a web browser, say, IE, input 192.168.2.200 and press Enter.
2. The login window appears. Enter the login user name and password (Both are
"admin" by default) and click Login.

2 Quick Set up
Here you can quickly change the standard settings from default to customized values.
AP Mode: In this mode, this device can be connected to wireless clients, but cannot
connect other APs actively.
WDS Mode: In this mode, this device can provide access to at most 4 APs.
Universal Repeater Mode (AP Client Mode): In this mode, NWA200 negotiates with the
uplinkedAP successfully and also provides access to lower clients.

- 11 -
3 LAN Settings
Here you can configure the device's LAN IP address for Internet access. This IP address
is also to be used to access the device’s settings through a web browser. Most of the
default settings work in most cases. However, if your access point is part of a more
complex LAN network, then modify the settings to meet the requirements of your network
based on the explanation of the various fields.
Address Mode-Static IP: Manually specify the Static IP information (LAN IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, DNS server address) that corresponds with your existing
networking equipment.
Address Mode-Dynamic IP: Select it if you already have an active DHCP server on your
existing network. The wireless access point gets its IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway settings automatically from the DHCP server on your network when you connect
the access point to your existing network.
Tip
1. Default IP address and subnet mask are respectively 192.168.2.200 and
255.255.255.0.
2. Be sure to make a note of any changes you apply to this page. If you change the LAN
IP address of this device, you have to update your PC’s TCP/IP settings and open a new
connection to the new IP address and then log in again.

4 DHCP Server
This section includes the following:
4.1. DHCP Server: Configure DHCP server settings.
4.2 DHCP Client List: View the information of the DHCP clients that currently obtain IP
addresses from the DHCP server.
4.1. DHCP Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns an IP address to each device on
the LAN/private network. When you enable the DHCP Server, the DHCP Server will
automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool specified in this
screen to the requesting device as long as the device is set to "Obtain an IP Address
Automatically". If you disable this feature, you have to manually configure the TCP/IP
settings for all PCs on your LAN to access Internet.
Click DHCP Server to enter the configuration screen.
To set up the DHCP Server:
1. Enable the DHCP Server.
2. Specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. These addresses
should be part of the same IP segment as the remote Internet enabled device's LAN
IPAddress.
3. Specify the lease time. It is a time length that the IP address is assigned to each
device before it is refreshed.
4. Specify the subnet mask. It should match the remote Internet enabled device's LAN

- 13 -
subnet.
5. Set the gateway address to the LAN IP address of the remote device.
6. Configure correct DNS settings. If a wrong DNS server address is entered, Web
pages may not be open.
Note
If there is already an active DHCP server on your network, make sure the IP address pool
you specified here is not a part of that existing DHCP server. Otherwise, IP collisions may
occur.
4.2 DHCP Client List
Click DHCP Server -> DHCP Client List to enter the DHCP clients screen. Here you can
view the host name, IP address, MAC address, and lease time information.
