NWA/WAC/WAX Series User’s Guide
26
An AC uses Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP, see RFC 5415) to discover and
configure multiple managed APs.
2.2 Switching Management Modes
The Zyxel Device is in standalone mode by default with NCC and/or AC discovery enabled,
Standalone-to-NCC
Register the Zyxel Device at the NCC website and then turn on the Zyxel Device. Make sure that NCC
Discovery is enabled (see Section 9.6 on page 104). The NCC manages the Zyxel Device automatically
when it is discovered.
Standalone-to-AC (NXC)
By default, the Zyxel Device must be in the same subnet as the NXC. See Section 9.1.1 on page 95 for
setting it up in a different subnet. Make sure AC Discovery is enabled (see Section 9.5 on page 103). The
NXC manages the Zyxel Device automatically when it is discovered.
NXC-to-NCC
Register the Zyxel Device at the NCC website. Make sure that NCC Discovery is enabled on your Zyxel
Device (see Section 9.6 on page 104). In the NXC web configurator, select the Zyxel Device and press
the Nebula button. The NCC manages the Zyxel Device automatically when it is discovered.
NCC-to-NXC
Unregister the Zyxel Device at the NCC portal. By default, the Zyxel Device must be in the same subnet
as the NXC. See Section 9.1.1 on page 95 for setting it up in a different subnet. Make sure AC Discovery
is enabled (see Section 9.5 on page 103). The NXC manages the Zyxel Device automatically when it is
discovered.
NCC-to-Standalone
Unregister the Zyxel Device from the NCC organization/site. Reset the Zyxel Device to factory defaults
(see Section 28.6 on page 243).
AC-to-Standalone
Use the Reset button to return the Zyxel Device to its factory default settings (see Section 28.6 on page
243).
