The NXC is a comprehensive wireless LAN controller. Its flexible configuration helps network administrators set up wireless LAN networks and efficiently enforce security policies over them. In addition, the NXC provides excellent throughput, making it an ideal solution for reliable, secure service.
The NXC’s security features include firewall and certificates. It also provides captive portal configuration, NAT, port forwarding, policy routing, DHCP server, extensive wireless AP control options, and many other powerful features. Flexible configuration helps you set up the network and enforce security policies efficiently.
The front panel physical Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled P1, P2, P3, and so on) are mapped to Gigabit Ethernet (ge) interfaces. By default P1 is mapped to ge1, P2 is mapped to ge2 and so on.
•The default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1.
•The default administrator login user name and password are “admin” and “1234” respectively.
Here is an overview of zones, interfaces, and physical ports in the NXC.
Table 2 Zones, Interfaces, and Physical Ethernet Ports
Zones |
A zone is a group of interfaces. Use zones to apply security settings such as firewall. |

Chapter 1 Introduction
There are two types of interfaces in the NXC. In addition to being used in various features, interfaces also describe the network that is directly connected to it.
•Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies.
•VLAN interfaces recognize tagged frames. The NXC automatically adds or removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
Note: By default, all Ethernet interfaces are placed into vlan0, allowing the NXC to function as a bridge device.
This section introduces the NXC’s default zone member physical interfaces and the default configuration of those interfaces. This section uses the NXC5500 drawings as an example.

•The LAN zone contains the ge1~ ge6 interfaces (physical ports P1~P6). By default, all LAN interfaces are put in vlan0.
•The console port is not in a zone and can be directly accessed by a computer attached to it using a special console-to-Ethernet adapter.

Chapter 1 Introduction
These are some example applications for your NXC.
Manage multiple separate Access Points (APs) from a single, persistent location. APs can also be configured to monitor for rogue APs.
Figure 2 AP Management Example
A B C D
Here, the NXC (A) connects to a number of Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices (B). They connect to the managed Access Points (C), such as NWA5123-NI, which in turn provide access to the network for the wireless clients (D) within their broadcast radius.
Keep the connections between wireless clients and your APs secure with the NXC’s comprehensive wireless security tools. APs can be configured to require WEP and WPA encryption from all wireless clients attempting to associate with them. Furthermore, you can protect your network by monitoring for rogue APs. Rogue APs are wireless access points operating in a network’s coverage area that are not under the control of the network’s administrators, and can potentially open up critical holes in a network’s security policy.
The NXC can be configured with a captive portal, which intercepts all network traffic, regardless of address or port, until a connecting user authenticates his or her session, through a designated login Web page.
NXC Series User’s Guide
20
Chapter 1 Introduction
Figure 3 Applications: Captive Portal
The captive portal page only appears once per authentication session. Unless a session times out or a user closes the connection, he or she generally will not see it again during the same session.
With load balancing you can easily distribute wireless traffic across multiple APs to relieve strain on your network. When a station becomes overloaded, it can automatically delay a connection until the client associates with another network, or it can alternatively disassociate idle clients or those clients with weak connections from the network.
The NXC can automatically select the radio channel upon which its APs broadcast by scanning the area around those APs and determining what channels are currently being used by other devices not connected to the network.
Set up security policies that restrict access to sensitive information and shared resources based on the user who is trying to access it.
NXC Series User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction
You can use the following ways to manage the NXC.
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy NXC setup and management using an Internet browser. This User’s Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI allows you to use text-based commands to configure the NXC. You can access it using remote management (for example, SSH or Telnet) or via the physical or Web Configurator console port. See the Command Reference Guide for CLI details. The default settings for the console port are as follows:

The NXC stores information or settings as objects. You use these objects to configure many of the NXC’s features and settings. Once you configure an object, you can reuse it in configuring other features.
When you change an object’s settings, the NXC automatically updates all the settings or rules that use the object.
You can create address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or gateway. The NXC automatically updates every rule or setting that uses these objects whenever the interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you change an Ethernet interface’s IP address, the NXC automatically updates the rules or settings that use the interface-based, LAN subnet address object.
You can use the Configuration > Object screens to create objects before you configure features that use them. If you are in a screen that uses objects, you can also usually select Create new Object to be able to configure a new object.
Use the Object Reference screen to see what objects are configured and which configuration settings reference specific objects.
NXC Series User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction
Here are some of the ways to start and stop the NXC.
Always use Maintenance > Shutdown or the shutdown command before you turn off the NXC or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the firmware to become corrupt.
Table 5 Starting and Stopping the NXC
METHOD |
DESCRIPTION |
Turning on the power |
A cold start occurs when you turn on the power to the NXC. The NXC powers up, checks |
|
the hardware, and starts the system processes. |

Hardware Installation and
Connection
Note: Zyxel provides a sliding rail accessory for your use with your device. Please contact your local vendor for details.
The NXC can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your NXC on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting kit. Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains and that the position of the NXC does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
Note: Leave 10 cm of clearance at the sides and 20 cm in the rear.
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws.
Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
This section uses the NXC5500 drawings as an example.
1Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the NXC and secure it with the included bracket screws (smaller than the rack-mounting screws).
2Attach the other bracket in a similar fashion.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
Ethernet Ports
The auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet so the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be both half or full duplex at 10/ 100 Mbps and full duplex only at 1000 Mbps. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed and duplex mode of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the NXC are:
•Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Auto
•Flow control: On (you cannot configure the flow control setting, but the NXC can negotiate with the peer and turn it off if needed)
Console Port (NXC5500 Only)
Connect this port to your computer (using an RJ-45-to-DB-9 console cable) if you want to configure the NXC using the command line interface (CLI) via the console port.
For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software configured to the following parameters:
•VT100 terminal emulation
•115200 bps
•No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
•No flow control
Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the NXC. Connect the female 9-pin end of the console cable to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.
The following table shows you the wire color codes and pin assignment for the console cable.
