Preparing the 7781CM at the Depot and Shipping to the Field
Configuring the AP for Management by FlexMaster or for Standalone Operation
Configuring the AP for Management by FlexMaster
or for Standalone Operation
Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you configure, or stage, the AP part of the
7781CM before mounting it. It is more convenient to connect the administrative computer
to the access point and configure the device in a depot than when the device is already
mounted on the cable strand.
NOTE: A standalone access point refers to a device that is not managed by Ruckus
Wireless ZoneDirector or Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster.
NOTE: You may need to disable the firewall between the AP and the FlexMaster server
to complete this procedure.
