Configure the Root Bridge
need the following:

Configure the Root Bridge
Step 1: Connect the Power and Ethernet Cables
The procedure for connecting cables to the Wireless Bridge depends on the power source
that you will be using. You can do one of the following:
■ Use Power Over Ethernet
■ Use DC Power
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. Connect one end of the other Ethernet cable to the NETWORK port on the PoE
injector.
5. Connect 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.
