Introduction
1.1 Overview
This User’s Guide covers the following models: NWA5121-N, NWA5121-NI, NWA5123-NI and
NWA5301-NJ, WAC6502D-E, WAC6502D-S, WAC6503D-S and WAC6553D-E. Your NWA/WAC is a
wireless AP (Access Point). It extends the range of your existing wired network without additional
wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users.
