ZyXEL Communications NWA-3160 User Manual

NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

This chapter describes the maintenance screens. It discusses how you can view 
the association list and channel usage, upload new firmware, manage 
configuration and restart your NWA without turning it off and on. 

The following is a list of the maintenance screens you can configure on the NWA.

• Use  the  Association List screen (

) to view the 

wireless stations that are currently associated with the NWA.

• Use  the Channel Usage screen (

) to view whether a 

channel is used by another wireless network or not. If a channel is being used, 

you should select a channel removed from it by five channels to completely 

avoid overlap.

• Use  the  F/W Upload screen (

) to upload the latest 

firmware for your NWA.

• Use  the  Configuration screen (

) to view information 

related to factory defaults, backup configuration, and restoring configuration.

• Use Restart screen (

) to reboot the NWA without 

turning the power off. 

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.

Find firmware at www.zyxel.com in a file that (usually) uses the system model 
name with a "*.bin" extension, for example "[Model #].bin". The upload process 
uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a 
successful upload, the system will reboot.
