Preparing for Installation
This section describes the tasks that you need to perform before proceeding with the
installation. The required tasks depend on whether you are deploying the access point as
a standalone device or as a ZoneDirector-managed device.
Preconfiguring the Access Point (Standalone Only)
■
Configure Option 43 on the DHCP Server (ZoneDirector Management Only)
■
NOTE: A standalone access point refers to a device that is not managed by Ruckus
Wireless ZoneDirector or Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster.
Preconfiguring the Access Point (Standalone Only)
If you are deploying the access point as a standalone device, Ruckus Wireless strongly
recommends that you preconfigure (or "stage") the unit before mounting it. It is more
convenient to connect the administrative computer to the access point and configure the
device in the lab than when the device is already mounted on the cable strand.
Preconfiguring the access point requires the following tasks to be completed:
Step 1: Prepare the Administrative Computer
■
Step 2: Supply DC Power to the CMAP
■
Step 3: Log Into the Access Point's Web Interface
■
Step 4: Configure the Wireless Settings
■
Step 5: Disconnect the CMAP from the Administrative Computer
■
Step 6: Restore the Administrative Computer's Network Settings
■
Before starting, prepare the following requirements:
DC power supply (see DC Power Supply in
■
One Ethernet cable
■
An administrative computer (any computer running Windows that you can use to
■
preconfigure the access point)
