NWA-3500/NWA-3550 User’s Guide

This chapter first provides an overview of how to configure the wireless LAN on 
your NWA, and then gives step-by-step guidelines showing how to configure your 
NWA for some example scenarios. 

This section shows how to choose which wireless operating mode you should use 
on the NWA, and the steps you should take to set up the wireless LAN in each 
wireless mode. See 

 for links to more information on 

each step.

Note: This section describes how to use the NWA in standalone mode. For 

information on using the NWA in a CAPWAP network, see 

.

• Use Access Point operating mode if you want to allow wireless clients to access 

your wired network, all using the same security and Quality of Service (QoS) 

settings. See 

 for details.

• Use Bridge/Repeater operating mode if you want to use the NWA to 

communicate with other access points. See 

 for details.

The NWA is a bridge when other APs access your wired Ethernet network 

through the NWA.
The NWA is a repeater when it has no Ethernet connection and allows other APs 

to communicate with one another through the NWA. 

• Use AP+Bridge operating mode if you want to use the NWA as an access point 

(see above) while also communicating with other access points. See 

 for details.

• Use MBSSID operating mode if you want to use the NWA as an access point 

with some groups of users having different security or QoS settings from other 

groups of users. See 

 for details.
