Step 2: Complete the Setup Wizard
#1
When the Setup Wizard appears, complete the following
screens:
•
Port Configuration
: If you want to combine the
management, AP control, and AP tunnel traffic on a
single interface (recommended for simple setup), click
One Port Group
. If you want to separate the
management and AP control traffic from the AP tunnel
traffic, click
Two Port Group
.
•
IP Setting
: Configure the IP address settings of the SZ-
100 interface or interfaces either by assigning
addresses automatically (if a DHCP server exists on
the network) or manually:
- If you clicked
One Port Group
on the previous
screen, configure the SZ-100’s IP address settings
on the
IP Setting
screen.
- If you clicked
Two Port Group
, configure the IP
address of the management and AP control
interface on the
Port 1
screen, and then configure
the IP address of the AP tunnel data interface on
the
Port 2
screen.
•
Cluster Information
: Select whether you want to create
a new cluster with this SZ-100 or to join an existing
cluster on the network. If you want this SZ-100 to join
an existing cluster, you must type the cluster IP
address and admin password in the boxes provided.
#2
When the
Confirmation
screen appears, verify that all the
settings displayed on the screen are correct.
If you need to make a correction, click
Back
until the
appropriate setup screen appears, then make the
changes.
#3
If they are all correct, click
Finish
to apply the settings and
activate the SZ-100 on the network.
A progress bar appears and displays the progress of applying
the settings, starting the SZ-100 services, and activating the
SZ-100 on the network.
When the process is complete, the progress bar shows the
message “100% Done.” The page also shows the IP address
through which you can access the SmartZone web interface to
manage the appliance.

Step 3: Connect the SZ-100 to the Network
#1
Connect Port 1 to the router or switch.
#2
Connect Port 2 to another router or switch to which other
SmartZone appliances (if present) are connected.
Step 4: Connect the Ruckus Wireless APs to
the Network
#1
Distribute the APs around your worksite.
#2
Record each AP’s Ethernet MAC address (printed on the
bottom of every AP), and note each device’s exact
worksite location.
#3
Connect the APs to a local power source.
#4
Using an Ethernet cable, connect the APs to the switch or
router on the same network as the SZ-100.
When the APs are powered on, they will automatically discover
the SZ-100 on the network.
NOTE
If you clicked
Two Port Group
, verify that the admin PC
is connected to either port 1 or port 2 of the SZ-100.
TIP
Take note of this IP address. You will need this later to log on
to the SZ-100’s web interface.
NOTE
Depending on your network setup, you may also connect
Port 2 to the same router or switch to which Port 1 is connected.
TIP:
Some Ruckus Wireless APs are PoE-capable. If connected
to a Power over Ethernet switch, the APs can draw power through
the Ethernet cables.
