Configuring the Access Point
Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
WARNING: Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical
codes.
CAUTION: Make sure that you form a 3”-5” drip loop in any cable that is attached to the
Access Point and Ethernet surge protector. This will prevent water from running along the
cables and entering the Access Point, Ethernet surge protector, or the building where the
cables terminate.
CAUTION: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national
electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods, lightning arrestors,
or surge suppressors.
.
WARNING: The Ruckus Wireless PoE injector (if supplied with your Access Point) is for
indoor use only. Never mount the PoE injector outdoor with the Access Point.
NOTE: If the power outlet in your installation environment is three-pronged, use the two-
prong plug adapter that is shipped with the Access Point.
4 Configuring the Access Point
The procedure for completing the Access Point’s essential configuration depends on
whether you want it to be managed by either ZoneDirector or FlexMaster or to operate
as a standalone access point. Refer to the section that is relevant to your deployment:
■ Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
■ Configuring for Standalone Operation or for Management by FlexMaster
Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector
If ZoneDirector is installed on the network, you can configure the Access Point for
management by ZoneDirector. Simply connect the Access Point to same Layer 2 subnet
as ZoneDirector. When the Access Point starts up, it will discover and register with
ZoneDirector automatically.
