asked on Zyxel WAC6502d not connecting to NCX2500
Hi
My client noticed the absence of the usual Wifi SSID in one area of his hotel and asked me to investigate
Apparently the local AP, a Zyxel WAC6502d, is now back to advertising it's default SSID : ZYXEL
From what I gather it was initially setup in AC Discovery mode and the NCX2500 provided it with its running parameters
So I disconnected it and connected my notebook directly to it (using a PoE injector of course)
It didn't provide me with an IP address; strange, I thought that the majority of APs functioned by default in stand alone mode
The manual indicated that by default its IP address is 192.168.1.2 therefore I configured my notebook's LAN interface accordingly
No joy, I can't ping the AP
I checked to see if the ZYXEL SSID was still being advertised and what do you know ? No ZYXEL SSID anymore.
I'm sure that there is a reasonable explanation for this situation
Anyone out there care to share their know how please ?
thanks

Question : Three APs that I had to reset were assigned a different IP address, is there anyway that I can change this address back to what it initially was ? Is there a DHCP reservation option in Object/Address ?
Based on your question, I'm assuming the controller is acting as the DHCP server. Based on the manual I'm reading, I believe you have to use "Enable IP/MAC binding" to accomplish it.
