NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

Complete the following steps to hang your NWA on a wall.

Note: See 

 for the size of screws to use and how far apart to 

place them.

Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy wall. 

Drill two holes for the screws. 

Do 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. 

Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to hold the 
weight of the NWA with the connection cables. 

Auto Configuration

Administrators can use text configuration files to configure the 
wireless LAN settings for multiple APs. The AP can 
automatically get a configuration file from a TFTP server at 
start up or after renewing DHCP client information. 

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol 
used for exchanging management information between 
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol 
suite.  Your NWA supports SNMP agent functionality, which 
allows a manger station to manage and monitor the NWA 
through the network. The NWA supports SNMP version one 
(SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).

DFS

DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) allows a wider choice of 
802.11a wireless channels.

CAPWAP

The NWA can manage and be managed via CAPWAP (Control 
And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points), which allows 
multiple APs to be configured and managed by a single AP 
controller.
