5 Provisioning and Associating the Wireless

Bridge Pair (Optional)

Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge units come in pre-provisioned pairs, and

they will automatically associate with one another as soon as they are powered on.

Therefore in most situations, you will not need to provision or associate the Root and Non-

Root bridge.

However, if you need to reset either unit to its factory defaults, r

eplace one of the units, or

decide to switch which unit acts as the Root and the Non-Root bridge, you can use the

following procedure to re-provision (re-assign one unit as the Root and one as the Non-

Root bridge), and re-associate the link between the pair.

Auto Provisioning

The auto provisioning process is used to automatically designate one of the ZoneFlex 7731

units as the Root bridge and the other as the Non-Root bridge.

NOTE: The ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge units are shipped already paired so auto

provisioning will not be needed in the field unles

s it becomes necessary to restore factory

default settings.

Conduct the following procedure to automatically provision the root and non-root

bridge:

1. Reset both units to their factory defaults, by either:

■ Pressing and holding the Reset button in the bottom panel for at least 6 seconds

■ Click Reset Now next to “Reset to factory settings?” on the Maintenance > Reboot/

Reset page in the Web interface

CAUTION: Do not reset the units to factory defaults once they are mounted in their

permanent locations.

2. Connect two units together directly via an Ethernet cable and provide power to both

units (you can power up and then connect OR connect and then power up both units).

3. The LAN LED on both units (LED 2) should be solid green, indicating that the units are

connected to each other. At this point, if both units have been reset to factory defaults,

neither has yet been specified as Root or Non-Root.
