NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

The NWAs should be working at this point. You can configure the settings of each 
NWA unit by just opening the Web Configurator of the primary controller AP.

One way to test if the setup is working is to use a wireless client to check if all the 
profiles you have set up in the managed APs and the controller APs are available 
for wireless connection.

For this example, we use the G-302 v3 wireless client utility screen to check if 
radio6 (SSID: Mktg Grp 6) is in the list of wireless networks available.

Figure 53   Tutorial: Checking your Setup (MGNT Mode Settings)

Open the wireless client’s screen that list the available networks within range. In 
the image above, we can see Mktg Grp 6 which is the SSID in the WLAN1 radio 
profile enabled for the 1st floor NWA managed AP.

Do the same for the other WLAN radio profiles of the remaining NWA APs (both 
controller and managed APs) and check if all the security configurations and 
device settings are in place. Do the proper modifications in the primary controller 
AP’s Web Configurator if necessary.

Note: Be sure you update the primary controller AP and not the secondary controller 

AP when setting the congfiguration for the managed APs. If you accidentally set 
up the secondary controller AP instead, the changes you made will not take 
effect. They are overridden by the configurations of the primary controller AP.
