Provisioning and Associating the Wireless Bridge Pair (Optional)
Manual Provisioning Using the Web Interface
4. Once both units are powered on and physically connected, LED 5 and 6 (labeled P0
and P1) on both units begin alternately blinking, indicating that provisioning is in
process. This process takes about 10 to 20 seconds.
5. Simultaneous rapid blinkin
g of these two LEDs indicates that provisioning is complete.
6. After pr
ovisioning is complete, LED 4 (ROLE) indicates which unit is the Root and Non-
Root unit. The ROLE LED is solid yellow for the Root bridge while the Non-Root bridge’s
ROLE LED is OFF.
7. T
ake note of which unit is the Root bridge and which is the Non-Root bridge.
8. Wh
en the auto provisioning process completes, a reboot is triggered by disconnecting
the Ethernet cable. During the reboot only the bottom LED, PWR is lit. Once the reboot
completes you will see activity on the WLAN LED, indicating wireless communication
between the pair.
9. Bec
ause the units were reset to factory defaults before provisioning, you will need to
re-set the Country Code to your location on both units (unless purchased in the United
States). See
“Step 5: Change the Country Code” on page 2-20.
Manual Provisioning Using the Web Interface
The ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge units can also be manually provisioned using the Web
interface.
The procedure for Web based provisioning is as follows:
1. Log in to the W
eb interface of the unit that you will designate as the Root bridge.
2. If the unit has been reset to factory defaults, the Provisioning Quick Start Wizard will
launch automatically immediately after login, as shown in Figure 24.
