Installing the Access Point
Step 1: Preconfigure the Access Point
2. Connect the Access Point to the Same Subnet as
ZoneDirector
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN (RJ-45) port on the rear panel of
the Access Point.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the same Layer 2 subnet as
ZoneDirector. The same Layer 2 subnet means that there should not be any router
between the Access Point and ZoneDirector.
3. Log into the ZoneDirector Web interface, and then go to the Monitor > Access
Points page.
4. 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 ZoneDirector.
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.
3. Disconnect the Access Point from the Power Source
1. Disconnect the Access Point from the power source.
2. Verify that the power LED on the rear panel of the Access Point is off.
3. Continue to “Step 2: Verify Access Point Operation”
on page 41.
