Introduction

This Quick Start Guide is for use with the ZyXEL NWA1100N-CE –

CloudEnabled® Business N Wireless Access Point.

This access point can operate in two distinct management modes: (1)

individually configured vial local user interface or (2) group managed via the

CloudCommand™online controller. The online controller adds enterprise-grade

features, essential for deployments of three or more access points, including:

- Remote configuration and management of multiple access points

concurrently;

- Simplified deployment via self-configuration;

- Enhanced security;

- Firewalled guest internet access;

- Multi-location roaming;

- Performance reporting and alerting;

- Automated firmware updates.

30 days of CloudCommand online service are included with purchase.

Annual subscription is required after 30 Days.

For use in group-managed mode with CloudCommand follow

“Option 1” from page 4 (blue tabs). For use in individually

configured mode, follow “Option 2” from page 9 (orange tabs).

Step 3: Choose the appropriate registration option:

New Customer: If you don’t have an existing CloudCommand™ account, you

may use our simple step-by-step wizard to create one. The wizard will guide

you to complete the setup of your entire wireless network.

Existing Customer: If you already have a CloudCommand™ account, use your

username and password to log in.

1.3.1. Deploying the Access Point with Dynamic IP

Addressing (DHCP)

If your network automatically assigns IP addresses (DHCP service), simply

connect the Access Point to your network. Plug the included Ethernet cable

into the LAN port on the back of the access point. Plug the other end into

your existing router or switch.

There is no further setup necessary, as long as the access point can reach the

Internet. The access point will automatically set itself up and connect to the

internet. You can reconfigure your Access Point to a static IP using the

CloudCommand™ interface in the future.

The NWA1100N-CE is PoE (Power over Ethernet) compliant. It can be

powered either with the included adapter or a Power over Ethernet (PoE)

switch. Once powered, the “SYS” LED will turn solid green to indicate the unit

is functioning properly.

1.3.2 Deploying Your Access Point without Dynamic

IP Addressing (DHCP)

If your network does not automatically assign IP addresses (No DHCP service),

follow these steps to configure your Access Point:

Step 1: Connect the NWA1100N-CE directly to your computer using an

Ethernet cable.

Step 2: Configure the Ethernet connection of your computer as follows:

IP Address: within the 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.254 range

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Step 3: Launch a web browser, type the default IP address of the Access Point

(http://192.168.1.2) and press Enter.

Step 4: Type “admin” in the Username field and “1234” in the Password field,

and then click on the Login button.

Step 5: Once you have logged in, configure the Access Point’s IP address and

DNS information to match your existing network configuration.

Step 6: Disconnect the Access Point from your computer and connect it to

the Local Area Network. The access point will automatically receive its

configuration from CloudCommand as it connects to the Internet.

The NWA1100N-CE is PoE (Power over Ethernet) compliant. It can be

powered either with the included adapter or a Power over Ethernet (PoE)

switch. Once powered, the “SYS” LED will turn solid green to indicate the unit

is functioning properly.

is recommended that you established a wired connection to your computer

for initial configuration.

Step 2: Configure the Ethernet connection of your computer as follows:

IP Address: within the 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.254 range

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
