LEDs
The following table describes your NWA’s (Managed Access Point)
LEDs.
Hardware Connections
The following shows you how to makethe NWA’s hardware connections.
The NWA5560-N is shown in these example figures.

With PoE
1. Connect the NWA to a PoE device with an 8-pin CAT5e cable.
2. Connect the PoE device to an upstream switch or directly to the NXC-
5200 Wireless LAN Controller.

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide
Without PoE
1. Connect the NWA to to an upstream switch or directly to the NXC-
5200 Wireless LAN Controller.
2. Connect the NWA to an appropriate power outlet and turn on the
power.
Console Port Configuration
The NWA is pre-configured, but you may use the console port to
manually configure the NWA if necessary. Connect a PS-2 console cable
from the console port on your computer to the console port on your
NWA. Run a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal, with
the following settings:

NWA IP Address
The NWA is pre-configured to get a dynamic IP address from a DHCP
server by default.
Use these commands if you want to give the NWA a fixed IP address.
NWA-NXC Discovery
Use the AP Controller (NXC5200) to remotely manage the NWAs in your
network. If the NXC and NWA are in the same network, then the NWA
can find the NXC automatically by broadcasting.
If the NWA and NXC are not in the same network, you must configure
the NWA to find the NXC in one of two ways:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip address
192.168.1.37 255.255.255.0
Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip gateway
192.168.1.32
Enter configuration mode
The NWA IP address and subnet mask
The NWA gateway

NWA Managed Access Point User’s Guide
Static Discovery
Manually enter the IP address of the NXC on the NWA. You can enter up
to two IP addresses for the NXC.
Dynamic Discovery via DHCP server
If the NWA gets a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server, you can
simultaneously let it get the NXC IP address by configuring it in the
DHCP server using DHCP Option 138. You can configure up to two NXC
IP addresses on the DHCP server.
Test the Connection
Ping the NXC from the NWA to test the connection.
Router# ping 192.168.1.1 (the NXC IP address)
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
If it fails, configure the gateway IP address of the NWA.
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip gateway 192.168.1.32
If the NWA and NXC are in a VLAN, configure the VLAN ID (tagged or
untagged) using this command:
• capwap ap vlan vlan-id VID { tag | untag } (VID from 1 to 4094)
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# capwap ap ac-ip
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
Router(config)# show capwap ap
discovery-type
Discovery type : Static AC IP
Enter configuration mode
These are the NXC IP addresses
Confirm that static discovery is used to find the
NXC.
AC is the AP Controller, that is, the NXC.

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# capwap ap vlan vlan-id 2 tag
