Double-click the SZ300 that appears in the
Network
Infrastructure
section to start the SZ300’s Setup Wizard.
A web browser loads and the SZ300’s Setup Wizard
appears, displaying the

Step 2: Complete the Setup Wizard
#1
When the Setup Wizard appears, complete the following
screens:
•
Language
: Verify that
English
is selected.
•
Management IP Address
: Configure the IP address
settings of the control, cluster, and management
interfaces either by assigning addresses automatically
(if a DHCP server exists on the network) or manually.
•
Cluster Information
: Select whether you want to create
a new cluster with this SZ300 or to join an existing
cluster on the network. If you want this SZ300 to join
an existing cluster, you must type the cluster IP
address and admin password in the boxes provided.
•
Administrator
: Set the administrator passwords for the
web interface and the command line interface.
#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 SZ300 on the network.
A progress bar appears and displays the progress of applying
the settings, starting the SZ300 services, and activating the
SZ300 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.

Take note of the IP address of the web interface
Step 3: Connect the SZ300 to the Network
#1
Connect one of the controller’s LAN ports with a yellow
label to the router or switch.
#2
Connect the other LAN port with a yellow label 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 either a local power source or PoE
enabled Ethernet switch.
#4
Using an Ethernet cable, connect the APs to the switch or
router on the same network as the SZ300.
When the APs are powered on, they will discover the SZ300
on the network if the DHCP server from which the APs are
obtaining IP addresses also provides the SZ300 IP address via
DHCP Option 43.
NOTE
If you prefer not to use UPnP, you can type the IP address
of the SZ300 into a web browser instead. In case there is no DHCP
server on the network, the default IP address and URL of the
SZ300 is http://192.168.2.2:8080 with a network mask of
255.255.255.0. Otherwise, an IP address is assigned
automatically from your existing DHCP service.

Port Color/Label
Port Traffic Type
Black
Control interface: Access network traffic
(SSH, HTTPS)
Orange
Cluster interface: SZ-C inter-node traffic
Yellow
Management interface: Web interface,
command line interface, northbound
interface
TIP
Take note of this IP address. You will need this later to log on
to the SZ300’s web interface.
NOTE
Depending on your network setup, you may also connect
both yellow-labeled ports to the same router or switch.
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.
