Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex P300 Quick Setup Manual

P300 Wireless Bridge
Quick Setup Guide
Note: The minimum software revision for the P300 is base image
100.0.1.9 or later. FlexMaster requires firmware 9.12 and later to
manage the P300.
This Installation Guide provides information on how to configure the
Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex P300 802.11ac point-to-multipoint outdoor
wireless mesh bridge on the network. The 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 P300 at your site. The rest of this guide refers to the
P300 wireless mesh bridge as the P300.
The P300 can be ordered either as an unconfigured single P300, or as a
pre-configured matched pair of P300s. These P300s are almost always
installed in pairs, whether they are configured as a root access point (RAP)
or mesh access point (MAP).

Note: When deployed in the RAP--MAP RAP--MAP configuration, the
two wireless links must use different SSIDs.
