WLAN Deployments
ZyXEL’s Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is a business-class access point that offers all
the usual enterprise features in addition to being a hybrid wireless controller and RADIUS
server. With the “hybrid” features, Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 brings the lowest TCO
(total cost of ownership) by turning the traditional AP into a controller or a managed AP in
contrast to traditional controller systems.
Key Benefits
No Extra Cost Converting Stand-alone AP Architecture into Management WLAN Architecture
The ZyXEL Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is a “hybrid” AP that acts as a enterprise-class AP in
“stand-alone” mode and/or in “AP controller” mode at the same time. The hybrid AP has full flexibility to
deploy secure and reliable WLAN networks and is able to manage up to 24 APs and is suitable for
companies with 300-500 staffs. In the initial phase constructing a WLAN, the 3000 Series AP can be
configured as a fully functional AP in “stand-alone” mode; with more APs installed, the 3000 Series AP can be
set to the AP controller mode to manage all other access points. When a new branch office is established,
one of the managed 3000 Series AP can become another controller to manage a separate WLAN network.
Simplified Management with Scalability
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series can centrally manage up to 24 access points for diversified
applications; these access points could include dual-band NWA-3160, dual-band and dual-radio NWA-3500,
high-power NWA-3163, draft 11n 2.0 support NWA-3166 and outdoor dual-radio NWA3550. The capability
to support a wide range of managed access points enables network administrators to choose the best AP
for desired applications, and the management interface reminiscing single AP also helps the staff to easily
oversee all the WLAN access points, even they are not on the same site.

Secure Architecture for Reliable, Scalable Wi-Fi Networks
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series meets the security and high availability demanded by
enterprises as all communications between the hybrid AP and managed AP are performed in a secured
tunnel. Since no configuration data is stored on the managed AP, sensitive setup information is not exposed
even if the AP is stolen. The hybrid AP also provides the scalability to manage APs across different networks.
Enterprise-class Access Point Functionality
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is a series of full-function, enterprise-class AP providing
802.11a/b/g connectivity, up to 8 SSIDs per radio, profile-based management, leading QoS technology for
VoWiFi applications, as well as comprehensive management features for massive deployments.
Plenum Rating with Ease of Deployment
The Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series is also equipped with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) capabilities
designed for small to medium enterprises. It is built with LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material and is
compliant with UL2043, the so-called plenum rating. It reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gases
emitted during the production process to protect people and equipments from the harmful emission. With
the mentioned features, 3000 Series AP is the best choice to add wireless access to your existing business
network or hospitality environment.

Stand-alone AP Mode

When a company is small in business, it might need only 2 to 3 APs in the field, and configuration wouldn’t be a problem. But as the company grows, the number of AP
may increase and become a management headache if they require individual configuration and management. As a hybrid AP solution, ZyXEL’s Wireless LAN Access
Points 3000 Series has the “AP controller” mode and can be configured to manage as many as 24 APs, allowing enterprises to pay as they grow with easy, centralized
configuration and management.
When an expanding business unit considers transforming into a managed WLAN structure, additional investments would be made to replace all devices in the field.
However, ZyXEL users can turn the existing independent WLAN APs, including MWA-3160, NWA-3163, NWA-3166, NWA-3500 and NWA3550, into a centralized
management system with easy firmware upgrades. To expanding companies, this is truly a protection to earlier investments.

Managed AP Mode
Back-Up Redundancy
ZyXEL’s Wireless LAN Access Points 3000 Series allows a secondary AP in “AP controller” mode assigned to take over management tasks if the primary AP in “AP
controller” mode shuts down accidently. The information between the primary AP and the secondary AP is synchronized under two conditions:
The connection is set up for the first time
Whenever configurations are changed on the primary AP
When the primary AP comes back into service, all APs in “managed AP” mode will connect back to the primary one automatically.
