Configuring The Ap For Standalone Operation Or For Management By Fm - Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7055 User Manual

Configuring the AP for Standalone Operation or for
Management by FM
NOTE DO NOT connect the AP to your live network at this point. If you connect it
to a live network with an active DHCP server, the AP acquires a new IP address
from the DHCP and you are unable to access it via the default IP address
(192.168.0.1).
This section describes the steps you need to complete to set up the AP in standalone
mode or to be managed by a Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster manager, if you have one
installed on the network. Continue with the following:
1. Collecting 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.
2. Logging Into the Ruckus Wireless AP Web Interface
You can manage your AP with the integrated Web interface (which you already used
to configure basic AP parameters). If your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by
an SCG, SZ, vSZ or ZD controller, then you can manage APs using the controller
rather than individually logging into each AP's Web interface.
NOTE The following procedure assumes that you know the static IP address of
the AP (now in use), or you have some means of determining the dynamic IP address
in use by the AP. The PC you use for AP administration should be on the
management VLAN, if VLANs are used in your network.
Refer to the AP installation or quick setup guide for instructions on how to connect
an administrative computer to the AP.
1 On the PC, open a Web browser window.
