Configuring the Access Point
Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
Step 2: Connect the Access Point to the Same Subnet as
ZoneDirector
1. Verify that the Access Point is powered on.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the PoE IN port on the AP.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the same Layer 2 subnet as ZoneDi-
rector. The same Layer 2 subnet means that there should not be any router between
the Access Point and ZoneDirector.
4. Log into ZoneDirector, and then go to the Monitor > Access Points page.
5. Look for the MAC address of the Access Point, and then check its Status column.
• If automatic approval is enabled, the Status column should show Connected.
• If automatic approval is disabled, click the Allow link that is on the same row as the
Access Point’s MAC address. This allows the Access Point to register with ZoneDi-
rector.
When the Status column shows Connected, this indicates that the Access Point has
successfully registered with ZoneDirector and that it can now be moved to its destination
Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
Step 3: Disconnect the Access Point from the Power
Source
1. Disconnect the Access Point from the power source (either from the PoE injector or
DC power source).
2. Verify that the Power LED on the Access Point is off.
3. Continue to “Attaching the Mounting Brackets”
on page 42.
