4 Pre-Installation Configuration
This section describes the configuration procedures required before you begin mounting
the bridges in their permanent locations.
Summary of Pre-Installation Tasks
1. Supply power to both units.
2. Access the units using an administrative computer.
3. Set the country code to your
current location.
4. Cha
nge other configuration settings (optional).
5. Use
the SpeedFlex tool built into the Web interface to test the link between the units.
NOTE: If you purchased the Wireless Bridge in the United States, the country code is
fixed to “United States” at the factory and is not user configurable. If not, you must set
the country code to your location prior to mounting to ensure compliance with national
regulatory requirements.
CAUTION: If changing the Country Code over the air, you will need to configure the
remote unit first followed by the local unit, to avoid loss of connectivity.
In addition to setting the country code (required), the following optional configuration
settings may be changed at this time:
■ Change the device name and SSID
■ Manually assign static IP addresses
■ Enable SNMP or FlexMaster network management
■ Configure security settings
■ Configure management VLAN
CAUTION: Changing any settings of either the root or non-root bridge will require that
you also change the same settings on the other device.
To customize any of these settings before deploying the bridge pair, you will need to
connect an administrative computer directly to each ZoneFlex 7731 using the unit’s default
IP address, and provide power using either DC power or Power over Ethernet before you
can access the unit’s Web interface.
The default IP addresses for the root and non-root bridge are as follows:
■ Root Bridge: 192.168.2.1
■ Non-Root Bridge: 192.168.2.254
