PoE Access Point
Quick Start Guide
Hardware Installation
Connect the UPLINK port to a router with Internet access. If you are not using PoE, connect the NWASOAX power socket to an appropriate power source.
Option A Cloud Management
Option1: Use MAC address and Serial number to add a device in the NCC.
https://nebula.zyxel.com
Follow the steps below to manage the NWASOAX through the Zyxel cloud-based
network management system.
Note: Make sure the connected router has Internet access.
- Go to the Zyxel Nebula Control Center (NCC) website (https://nebula.zyxel.com). Click Get Started to sign up for my Zyxel account and log in.
- Create an organization and a site (network) in the NCC.
- Enter the NWASOAX’s LAN MAC address and serial number (S/N) (see the label on the device) in the NCC configuration screen.
Note: The NWASOAX will go into cloud management mode automatically and restart after it is registered to a site. See the NCC User’s Guide for more information about configuring the NWASOAX through the NCC.
Option 2: Use the Zyxel Nebula Mobile app to add a device in the NCC.
Where to find Qr code
Download and open the Zyxel Nebula Mobile
app. Log in with your my Zyxel account. Create an organization and site or
select an existing site. Scan the NWASOAX’s QR code to add it to the site.
(You can find the QR code in its web configurator or on a label on the device
or its box.)
Note: The NWASOAX will go into cloud management mode automatically and restart
after it is registered to a site.
Option B Standalone Management
**1-a** WiFi connection
http://1.1.1.1 (First-time configuration only)
User Name: admin Login Password: 1234 (default)
From a WiFi-enabled computer, search for the NWASOAX’s default WiFi network
name (Zyxel-xxxx, where xxxx is the last four characters of the MAC address)
and connect to it.
Open your web browser and enter “http://1.1.1.1” for initial configuration.
Enter the default user name (admin) and password (1234). Click Login.
Note: If the NWASOAX cannot connect to the Internet, use the DHCP-
assigned IP address of the NWASOAX to access its web configurator. Check the
connected router or DHCP server for the IP address of the NWASOAX.
**1-b**WiFi connection
http://1.1.1.1 (First-time
configuration only)
User Name: admin Login Password: 1234 (default)
Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the UPLINK port of the
NWASOAX through a PoE injector or PoE switch. Use its DHCP-assigned IP or
default static IP address “http://192.168.1.2” to access the web
configurator. Make sure your computer IP address is in the same subnet as the
NWASOAX’s.

The wizard appears automatically. Use the wizard to set up your NWASOAX.
Note: It takes 1 to 2 minutes to apply your wizard changes. The power LED will
blink red and green alternatively. The power and WiFi LEDs then turn steady
green when the system is ready. Check the Dashboard screen and note down the
NWASOAX’s IP address in case you need to access it’s web configurator again.
Note: The 111.1 is for initial setup only. It is not usable after the NWASOAX
is configured. ® Use the NWASOAX’s new wireless settings (SSID and key) to re-
connect to the NWASOAX’s WiFi network for Internet access if you change them
in the wizard.
