Introduction
The NWA-8500 is an access point that receives power from a
PoE (power over Ethernet) WLAN controller. The NWA-8500
does not require a power adapter or power cord. You can just
deploy the NWA-8500 in your wireless network with a PoE
wireless switch. Through the NWA-8500 (labeled AP in the
following figure), wireless clients on the WLAN can access
the Internet or the wired network.
This guide shows you how to connect the NWA-8500 to a
WLAN controller and hang your NWA-8500 on a wall.
1 Hardware Connections
Follow the steps below to connect your NWA-8500 for
Internet access.
ENGLISH

ENGLISH
1Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the
ETHERNET port to a PoE WLAN controller’s WLAN port.
At the time of writing, you can connect only the NWA-8500
to the NXC-8160 model.
1.1 LEDs
Look at the LEDs (lights) on the NWA-8500.
The PWR, LAN, WLAN 1 and WLAN 2 LEDs are all on when
the Ethernet port is properly connected. The LAN, WLAN 1
and WLAN 2 LEDs blink when there is traffic.

ENGLISH
3
VIf none of the LEDs are on, check your
connections, and inspect your cable for
damage. Make sure that your wireless switch is
powered on. If the LEDs are still off, contact
your vendor.
2 Hardware Mounting
In general, the best location for the access point is at the
center of your intended wireless coverage area. For better
performance, mount the NWA-8500 in a place that is high up
and free of obstructions.
2.1 Wall-mounted
Follow the steps to attach your NWA-8500 to a wall.
"See Product Specifications for the size of
screws to use and how far apart to place them.
1Locate a high position on the wall that is free of
obstructions.
2Drill two holes for the screws.

4
ENGLISH
"Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables
located inside the wall when drilling holes for the
screws.
3Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a
small gap of about 0.5 cm between the heads of the
screws and the wall.
4Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall.
They need to hold the weight of the NWA-8500 with the
connection cables.
5Align the holes on the back of the NWA-8500 with the
screws on the wall. Hang the NWA-8500 on the screws.

Einführung
Der NWA-8500 ist ein Access-Point (AP), der über einen PoE
(Power-over-Ethernet) WLAN-Controller mit Strom versorgt
wird. Der NWA-8500 erfordert keinen Netzadapter oder
Stromkabel. Sie können den NWA-8500 in Ihrem
Drahtlosnetzwerk einfach mit einem PoE-Wireless-Switch
verwenden. Mit dem NWA-8500 (in der folgenden Abbildung
AP bezeichnet) können Wireless-Clients im WLAN auf das
Internet oder auf das Drahtlosnetzwerk zugreifen.
In dieser Anleitung wird beschrieben, wie der NWA-8500 an
einen WLAN-Controller angeschlossen wird und wie der
NWA-8500 an einer Wand montiert wird.
