ZyXEL Communications NWA-3550 ユーザーズマニュアル

 Chapter 1 Introducing the NWA

NWA-3500/NWA-3550 User’s Guide

ZyXEL’s CAPWAP allows a single access point to manage up to eight other access 
points. The managed APs receive all their configuration information from the 
controller AP. The CAPWAP dataflow is protected by DTLS (Datagram Transport 
Layer Security).

At the time of writing, the following ZyXEL AP models can be CAPWAP managed 
APs:

• NWA-3160
• NWA-3163
• NWA-3500
• NWA-3550
• NWA-8500

The following figure illustrates a CAPWAP wireless network. The user (U) 
configures the controller AP (C), which then automatically updates the 
configurations of the managed APs (M1 ~ M4).

Use any of the following methods to manage the NWA.

• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NWA 

using a (supported) web browser.

• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting 

by service engineers.
