Introduction
1.1  Overview 
The NWA is an in-the-wall IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless access point that supports Power over 
Ethernet (PoE) to eliminate the need for power sockets.
The NWA extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing 
easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/
n compatible devices.
In the following example, you connect a PoE switch to a broadband router/modem that has Internet 
access. You then use the swicth to provide power and Internet access to three NWAs in different 
rooms via Ethernet cables.
You can set the NWA to operate in either standalone AP or managed AP mode. When the NWA is in 
standalone AP mode, it can serve as a normal AP, or even as a root AP or a wireless repeater to 
establish wireless links with other APs in a WDS (Wireless Distribution System). A WDS is a wireless 
connection between two or more APs.
Your NWA’s business-class reliability, SMB features, and centralized wireless management make it 
ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks. It uses Multiple BSSID and 
VLAN to provide simultaneous independent virtual APs. Additionally, innovations in roaming 
technology and QoS features eliminate voice call disruptions.
