Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector

Configuring the Access Point
The procedure for completing the AP's essential configuration depends on whether you
want it to be managed by either ZoneDirector or FlexMaster or to operate as a standalone
AP. Refer to the section that is relevant to your deployment:
Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
■
Configuring for Standalone Operation or for Management by FlexMaster
■
Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
If ZoneDirector is installed on the network, you can configure the AP for management by
ZoneDirector. Simply connect the AP to same Layer 2 subnet as ZoneDirector. When the
AP starts up, it will discover and register with ZoneDirector automatically.
NOTE: In addition to using Layer 2 auto discovery to enable the AP to register with
ZoneDirector, you can also use DHCP Option 43 or DNS. For more information, refer to
the ZoneDirector User Guide.
Before starting this procedure, check the back panel of the AP (above the recess where
the bottom connectors are located), and then write down the MAC address of the AP. You
will need the MAC address to identify the AP on the ZoneDirector Web interface.
