Preparing for Installation
What You Will Need
CAUTION:
If changing the Country Code over the air, you will need to configure the
remote units first followed by the local unit, to avoid loss of connectivity.
In addition to setting the country code (required), the following optional configuration
settings may be changed at this time:
■
Change the device names, SSID, shared secret, user names and passwords
■
Manually assign static IP addresses
■
Enable SNMP or FlexMaster network management
■
Configure security settings
■
Configure management VLAN
To customize any of these settings before deploying the bridge pair, you will need to
connect an administrative computer directly to each ZoneFlex 7731, and provide power
using either DC power or Power over Ethernet before you can access the Web interface.
The default IP addresses for the Root and Non-Root Bridge are as follows:
■
Root Bridge
:
192.168.2.1
■
Non-Root Bridge
:
192.168.2.254
CAUTION:
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).
What You Will Need
Before starting with the configuration tasks, make sure that you have the following
requirements ready:
■
An administrative computer running Microsoft Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7)
■
Microsoft Internet Explorer (6.0 or later) or other browser such as Firefox, installed on
the administrative computer
■
Two Ethernet cables (Cat-5e or better)
■
PoE injector (if not supplied with the Wireless Bridge, you can purchase a third party
802.3af-compliant PoE injector or switch)
■
6mm Phillips screwdriver
If you are planning to power the Wireless Bridge using a 12 VDC connection, you will also
need the following:
■
One 3.1mm-3.3mm UL1185 (80°, 300V) single shielded DC cable
■
12 VDC, 1A DC power source (for example, a battery)
■
3mm Phillips screwdriver
