Preparing for Installation
Summary of Configuration Tasks
CAUTION:
Resetting the ZoneFlex 7731 to its factory defaults will result in loss of all
configuration settings, including the provisioning (pairing of the Root and Non-Root
Bridge) settings. If you do need to reset to defaults, you will need to re-provision the
bridge. In factory default state, the role of all 7731 units is Root Bridge. Therefore, running
the factory default procedure on any ZoneFlex 7731 results in that unit becoming
unreachable on the non-root bridge default IP address (192.168.2.254).

Preparing for Installation
This section describes the configuration procedures required before you proceed to
mount the ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge units in their permanent locations. These tasks
should be performed prior to connecting any ZoneFlex 7731 to your live network.
Summary of Configuration Tasks
If you have purchased the standard two unit package, the Root Bridge and Non-Root
Bridge will have already been preconfigured at the factory. Therefore, you will only need
to access both units and set the Country Code prior to installation (unless your country is
United States, in which case, Country Code is also preconfigured). Then you can go directly
to
“Physical Installation”
.
If you have purchased a single Wireless Bridge, to expand your network to a point to
multipoint configuration, or replaced one of the units, or have decided to reset the units
to factory defaults for any reason, the following tasks should be performed prior to physical
installation:
1.
Provision one ZoneFlex 7731 as the Root Bridge, and the remaining units as Non-Root
Bridges.
2.
Access the Wireless Bridge Web interface using an administrative computer.
3.
Set the country code to your current location.
4.
Change other configuration settings (optional).
5.
Verify association between the Root and Non-Root bridges.
NOTE:
If you purchased your Wireless Bridge in the United States, the country code is
fixed to “United States” at the factory and is not user configurable. If not, you must set
the country code to your location prior to mounting to ensure compliance with national
regulatory requirements.
