Before You Begin: Preconfiguring the
ZoneFlex P300
NOTE
ZoneFlex P300s are shipped from the factory with ZoneFlex P300 100.x
base image firmware, which supports standalone and FlexMaster (FM) manager
operation. The ZoneFlex P300 100.1.0.9 base image does not support Ruckus
Wireless controller operation.
NOTE
DO NOT connect the ZoneFlex P300 to your live network at this point. If
you connect it to a live network with an active DHCP server, the ZoneFlex P300 can
acquire a new IP address from the DHCP and you may be unable to access it via
the default IP address (192.168.2.1).
Logging Into the ZoneFlex P300 Web
Interface
This section describes the steps you need to complete to set up the ZoneFlex P300
in standalone mode or to be managed by a Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster manager,
if you have one installed on the network.

Collect the required materials: before starting with the configuration task, make
sure that you have the following requirements ready:
•
An administrative computer (notebook computer) with an Ethernet port and
a wireless card installed.
•
A Web browser such as Chrome 39 or later, Firefox 33 or later, or Internet
Explorer 10 or later installed on the administrative computer.
•
One Cat5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable.
You can manage your ZoneFlex P300 with the integrated Web interface. However,
if your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by a Ruckus Wireless controller, then
you can manage ZoneFlex P300s using the controller rather than individually logging
into each ZoneFlex P300’s Web interface.
