Configuring the Access Point
Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
Before starting this procedure, check the back panel of the Access Point (above the recess
where the bottom connectors are located), and then write down the MAC address of the
Access Point. You will need the MAC address to identify the Access Point on the ZoneDi-
rector Web interface.
What You Will Need
Before starting with the configuration task, make sure that you have the following require-
ments ready:
■ A computer from which you can access the ZoneDirector Web interface
■ Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later) installed on the
administrative computer
■ One Cat5e foil screened twisted pair (FTP) solid cable
■ Two Ethernet cables
■ PoE injector (if not supplied with the Access Point, you can purchase a third party
802.3at-compliant PoE injector or switch)
■ 6mm Phillips screwdriver
If you are planning to power the Access Point using a 12v DC connection, you will also
need the following:
■ One 0.195” to 0.265” diameter DC cable
■ 12v DC, 1.5A DC power source (for example, a battery)
Step 1: Connect the Cables to the Access Point
The procedure for connecting cables to the Access Point depends on the power source
that you will be using. You can do one of the following:
■ Use Power Over Ethernet
■ Use DC Power
NOTE: You only need to connect one type of power source at this point, even if you are
planning to use both PoE and DC power in your final deployment.
Use Power Over Ethernet
1. Take out the PoE injector and the power adapter from the Access Point package.
2. Obtain two Ethernet cables.
3. Connect one end of one Ethernet cable to the AP/BRIDGE port on the PoE injector,
and then connect the other end to the PoE IN port on the Access Point.
