Configuring the ZoneFlex P300

NOTE

If the ZoneFlex P300 has been configured with Ruckus Wireless controller-

compatible firmware, then the ZoneFlex P300 controller-compatible firmware is 
already installed and configured; you have completed the ZoneFlex P300 
installation. When you plan to manage your Ruckus Wireless network using a 
Ruckus Wireless controller, refer to the associated controller user documents

, 

available from the Ruckus Wireless website at 

http://support.ruckuswireless.com/documents

If the ZoneFlex P300 is to be run in a standalone configuration or is to be managed 
by a FlexMaster manager, then continue with this section.

This chapter provides instructions for configuring ZoneFlex P300s in a standalone 
configuration or when the ZoneFlex P300 is to be managed by a FlexMaster 
manager. 

System configuration settings are divided into wireless configuration settings, bridge 
configuration settings and QoS settings. The 

Configuration > Wireless

 page allows 

you to set parameters that affect the wireless link between the root bridge and non-
root bridges. Note that any configuration changes on this page made for one unit 
must also be made for the other units. 

The 

Configuration > Bridge

 page allows you to set parameters specific to the unit 

you are currently accessing, such as device name, location, login name and 
password.
