NXC2500
Wireless LAN Controller
The ZyXEL NXC2500 features with advanced WLAN optimization technologies that help administrators monitoring and maintaining health of the wireless
network easily. Client steering utilizes functions of band steering and client signal threshold to match every Wi-Fi client to the best radio of the best AP.
Band steering sets 5 GHz as the rst priority to optimize network connectivity for dual-band clients. Client signal threshold ensures all clients connect
to the APs with stronger signal. Auto healing is another WLAN optimization function that deployed APs detect status of nearby APs and adjust power
automatically while failure occured in neighboring AP. Auto healing provides reliable and always-on wireless coverage. The ZyXEL NXC2500 also features
dynamic channel selection to optimize Wi-Fi quality and performance while minimizing administration eorts by auto, instant channel selection.
Authentication with simplied management
The ZyXEL NXC2500 uses comprehensive authentication methods to manage Wi-Fi accessibility for devices with AD, LDAP or RADIUS authentication
servers. The NXC2500 also provides a built-in RADIUS server, a captive portal server and a DHCP server to facilitate small and medium businesses
deploying secured employee and guest access services without any additional server. The user-friendly guest account generator can dynamically create
user accounts for guests at reception or equally easy by oce administrators. The NXC2500 also supports applying external customized portal pages
which largely benet the access authentication in hospotality venues like hotels. Also, with IETF standard-based CAPWAP, secured communication can
be established between the NXC controller and access points without changing the existing LAN infrastructure. The NXC2500 can oer a secured Wi-Fi
network with easy installation for your business.
