Pre-Installation Configuration
Access the Web Interface
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 Wireless Bridge 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 RJ45 port on the ZoneFlex 7731.
4. Con
nect one end of the other Ethernet cable to the NETWORK port on the PoE
injector.
5. Con
nect the power jack to the DC 48V IN connector on the PoE injector, and then
plug the power adapter into a power source. The single LED on the PoE injector turns
green.
6. Check the power LED
on the ZoneFlex 7731 to ensure power is being supplied to the
bridge.
