NXC2500

Wireless LAN Controller

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 to log into a customized capital portal via QR code. The NXC2500 also supports applying external customized portal pages

which largely benet the access authentication in hospitality venues like hotels. Also, with IETF standard-based CAPWAP, secured communication can

management of 8 APs and provides scalability with a

maximum supported total up to 64* APs, the “pay-as-you-

grow” principle provides reassurance and future proong

for SMBs, hotels and educational institutes to implement

secured, centralized wireless LAN networks.

* Management of 64 APs is supported with firmware version V4.10

or above

Auto Healing

The NXC2500 has Auto Healing feature that detects status

of neighbor APs and adjust AP power automatically

coverage to places where cable deployment is dicult. In

addition, each repeater APs has multiple route selections

to provide non-stop Wi-Fi services. ZyMesh enables to

make auto provision and manage for multiple APs easily

and centrally.

ClientSteering

Client Steering sets 5 GHz as priority for dual-band

devices to overcome heavy loading on 2.4 GHz, while

client signal threshold transfer devices to APs with

stronger signal. With these two functions, the NXC2500

secured access. The MAC authentication and customized

captive portal adapted to suit the needs of enterprises,

hospitability and public venues application. With captive

portal via QR code access support, keyboard-less mobile

devices are able to access Internet service instantly and

NAT gateways to solve connection issue for AP and WLAN

controller deployed in dierent subnets and to ensure the

highest robustness of WLAN networks.

SecuredWirelessEdge

The NXC2500 features with multiple network security

functions to provide the most robust protection for the

wireless network edge. The rogue AP containment and

detection ensures to block malicious AP, while industry-

standard WPA/WPA2-Enterprise authentication, a variety

of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) frameworks

additional sensors or location servers.
