Quick Setup Guide

Note: This Quick Setup Guide is designed to work with the ZoneFlex
P300 Wireless Bridge Mounting Guide. Complete the procedures in
this document before continuing with the Mounting Guide.
Note: The minimum software revision for the ZoneFlex P300 is base
image 100.1.0.9 or later. FlexMaster requires firmware 9.12 and later
to manage the ZoneFlex P300.
This Quick Setup Guide provides information on how to configure the
Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex P300 802.11ac point-to-point and point-to-
multipoint outdoor wireless bridge on the network. The ZoneFlex P300 can
use its internal 5GHz antennas, or can optionally use a two-port customer-
ordered external 5GHz antenna. After completing the steps described in
this Guide, you will be able to place the ZoneFlex P300 at your site. The
rest of this guide refers to the ZoneFlex P300 wireless bridge as the
ZoneFlex P300, root bridge, or non-root bridge.
The ZoneFlex P300 can be ordered either as an unconfigured single
ZoneFlex P300, or as a pre-configured matched pair of ZoneFlex P300s.
These ZoneFlex P300s are almost always installed in pairs, where one is
configured as a root bridge and the other as a non-root bridge.
The ZoneFlex P300 can be deployed as a root bridge connected to the
Ethernet backhaul, or can be deployed as a non-root bridge connected to
the root bridge via the wireless link. The ZoneFlex P300 can be equipped
with customer-purchased external 5GHz antennas to increase the root
bridge-to-non-root bridge connectivity range, or to increase the number of
non-root bridges that a root bridge can communicate with.

Note: When deployed in the root bridge--non-root bridge -to- root bridge--
non-root bridge configuration, the two wireless links must use different
SSIDs.
