Chapter 2 AP Management CHAPTER 2 AP Management 2.1 Management Mode The Zyxel Device is a unified AP and can be managed by the NCC or an AP controller (AC), or work as a standalone device. We recommend you use NCC to manage multiple APs (see the NCC User's Guide). An AP Controller such as the NXC can only manage multiple APs in the same location. Note: Not all models can be managed by NCC or an AC. See Section 1.4 on page 18 to check whether your product supports these. The following table shows the default IP addresses and firmware upload methods for different management modes. Table 5 Zyxel Device Management Mode Comparison MANAGEMENT MODE DEFAULT IP ADDRESS UPLOAD FIRMWARE VIA Nebula Control Center Dynamic NCC Portal AP Controller Dynamic AP Controller using CAPWAP Standalone Dynamic or Static (192.168.1.2) Built-in Web Configurator When the Zyxel Device is in standalone mode and connects to a DHCP server, it uses the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. Otherwise, the Zyxel Device uses the default static management IP address (192.168.1.2). You can use the NCC Discovery or AC Discovery screen to allow the Zyxel Device to be managed by the NCC or an AC, respectively. When the Zyxel Device is managed by the NCC or an AC, it acts as a DHCP client and obtains an IP address from the NCC/AC. It can be configured ONLY by the NCC/AC. To change the Zyxel Device back to standalone mode, use the Reset button to restore the default configuration. Alternatively, you need to check the NCC/AC for the Zyxel Device's IP address and use FTP to upload the default configuration file at conf/system-default.conf to the Zyxel Device and reboot the device. 2.1.1 Standalone When working in standalone mode, the Zyxel Device is configured mainly with its built-in Web Configurator. You can only connect to and set up one Zyxel Device at a time in this mode. See Chapter 5 on page 42 for detailed information about the standalone Web Configurator screens.

AP Management

2.1

Management Mode

The Zyxel Device is a unified AP and can be managed by the NCC or an AP controller (AC), or work as a

standalone device. We recommend you use NCC to manage multiple APs (see the NCC User’s Guide).

An AP Controller such as the NXC can only manage multiple APs in the same location.

Note: Not all models can be managed by NCC or an AC. See

Section 1.4 on page 18

check whether your product supports these.

The following table shows the default IP addresses and firmware upload methods for different

management modes.

When the Zyxel Device is in standalone mode and connects to a DHCP server, it uses the IP address

assigned by the DHCP server. Otherwise, the Zyxel Device uses the default static management IP

address (192.168.1.2). You can use the

NCC Discovery

AC Discovery

screen to allow the Zyxel Device

to be managed by the NCC or an AC, respectively.

When the Zyxel Device is managed by the NCC or an AC, it acts as a DHCP client and obtains an IP

address from the NCC/AC. It can be configured ONLY by the NCC/AC. To change the Zyxel Device

back to standalone mode, use the

Reset

button to restore the default configuration. Alternatively, you

need to check the NCC/AC for the Zyxel Device’s IP address and use FTP to upload the default

configuration file at conf/system-default.conf to the Zyxel Device and reboot the device.

2.1.1

Standalone

When working in standalone mode, the Zyxel Device is configured mainly with its built-in Web

Configurator. You can only connect to and set up one Zyxel Device at a time in this mode.

See

Chapter 5 on page 42

for detailed information about the standalone Web Configurator screens.
