FlexMaster requires firmware 9.12 and later to manage the P300. • • This Installation Guide provides information on how to configure the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex P300 802.11ac point-to-multipoint outdoor wireless bridge on the network. The P300 can use its internal 5GHz antennas, or can optionally use a two-port customer-ordered external 5GHz antenna. After completing the steps described in this Guide, you will be able to place the P300 at your site. The rest of this guide refers to the P300 wireless bridge as the P300. The P300 can be ordered either as an unconfigured single P300, or as a pre-configured matched pair of P300s. These P300s are almost always installed in pairs, whether they are configured as a Root Access Point (RAP) or reMote Access Point (MAP). • • • • Figure 1. P300s deployed as RAP and MAP MAP WARNING! Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. The professional installer is responsible for the proper installation and configuration of this P300. The P300 installation must comply with local regulatory requirements, especially with those regulating operation near military and/or weather radar systems. WARNING! Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. WARNING! Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear eye protection before mounting the P300. WARNING! The Ruckus Wireless PoE injector (ordered separately) is for indoor use only. Never mount the PoE injector outdoors with the P300. CAUTION: Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip loop in any cable that is attached to the P300 or the building. This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering the P300 or the building where the cable terminates. CAUTION: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors. NOTE: Allowable external antenna types and antenna gains may be limited by local regulatory requirements.

Published 26 May 2015, Part Number 800-70607-001 Rev A Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the P300 Step 4: Logging Into the P300 Web Interface CAUTION: Do not attempt to access the Web interface of two P300s at the same time by connecting both to the same Layer 2 switch or to the same broadcast domain on a live network. This causes a network loop, which can disrupt your network. 1 After removing your P300 from its package, place it next to your computer. 2 Remove the cable gland from the bottom of the P300. 3 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the P300 (A in Figure 3) to a PoE injector or switch for both power and network connectivity. 4 If necessary, using another Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network port to a data/network port on the PoE injector or switch. As specified in Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for P300 Setup, the computer should be connected to your P300 through the Ethernet port and powered on, ready for setup. 1 On your computer, open a Web browser window. 2 In the browser, enter a URL to connect to the P300: • Root (RAP) P300: https://192.168.2.1 • Non-root (MAP) P300s: https://192.168.2.254 3 Pressto initiate the connection. When a security alert dialog box appears, click OK/Yes to proceed. 4 When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page appears, enter the following: • Username: super • Password: sp-admin 5 Click Login. If the P300 displays the Manual Provisioning Wizard page and you do not have a local configuration file, then continue with Step 5A: Manually Provisioning a P300 Using the Web Interface. If the P300 displays the Manual Provisioning Wizard page and you do have a local configuration file, then continue with Step 5B: Manually Provisioning a P300 MAP Using a Local Configuration File. If a provisioned P300 displays the Manual Provisioning Wizard page, then continue with Step 5C: Customizing the Wireless Settings for a Provisioned P300. Figure 3. P300 LEDs and Ethernet port 5 After bootup, verify that the PWR LED on the P300 is a steady green. Continue with Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for P300 Setup. Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for P300 Setup NOTE: The following procedures assume that Windows 7 is the operating system. Procedures for other operating systems are similar. 1 On your Windows 7 computer, configure your network adapter from the Local Area Connection settings as follows: • Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings 2 Edit the TCP/IPv4 address settings as follows: • Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties The Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box appears. IMPORTANT! Write down all of the currently active settings so you can restore your computer to its current configuration when this procedure is completed. 3 Select Use the following IP address (if it is not already selected) and then make the following entries: • IP address: 192.168.2.22 (or any available address in the 192.168.2.x network, except 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.254, which are the defaults used by the P300s) • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Leave the DNS server and Default gateway fields empty. 4 Click OK to save your changes. Your changes are put into effect immediately. Continue with Step 4: Logging Into the P300 Web Interface. Page 2 of 4 Step 5A: Manually Provisioning a P300 Using the Web Interface Step 5B: Manually Provisioning a P300 MAP Using a Local Configuration File Step 5C: Customizing the Wireless Settings for a Provisioned P300 Each root P300 can support up to 10 non-root MAP P300s in a point-tomultipoint deployment. This step allows you to provision a P300 as root (RAP) or a non-root (MAP). NOTE: When you are manually provisioning another P300, you may also need to assign a static IP address to avoid having multiple P300s with the same IP address (192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.254), unless the IP addresses are to be assigned using DHCP. 1 Log into the P300’s Web interface as described in Step 4: Logging Into the P300 Web Interface. 2 If the P300 is in the unprovisioned, factory-default state, then the P300 displays the Manual Provisioning Wizard. 3 In the Manual Provisioning Wizard, select Root AP for a RAP, or select reMote AP for a MAP. 4 Click Next. The Manual Provisioning Wizard displays the Tell us about your WLAN configuration page. NOTE: The following Channel Width, Country Code, SSID and Passphrase entries must be the same for the RAP and the MAP. 5 In the Tell us about your WLAN configuration page, enter the following: • Channel Width -- 20 MHz, 40 MHZ, or 80 MHz (default). • Country Code -- Select the country in which the P300s will be operating. NOTE: If you purchased the AP in the United States, then this value is fixed to United States at the factory and is not user configurable. If you purchased the AP outside the United States, then verify that the value is set to your country or region. Selecting the correct country code ensures that the AP uses only the radio channels allowed in your country or region. NOTE: The two radios on the ZoneFlex AP are always configured with the same country code setting. If you change the country code for Radio 2.4G, for example, the same change is automatically applied to Radio 5G. • SSID -- Enter a link-specific service set identifier. • Passphrase -- Enter a link-specific passphrase. • Import Configuration (MAP only) -- Click Choose File to import the configuration file which has been exported from an existing MAP. The configuration file was exported from a MAP as described in Step 5C: Customizing the Wireless Settings for a Provisioned P300. 6 Click Next. The Manual Provisioning Wizard displays the Your Setup page. 7 In the Your Setup page, click Reboot. The P300 saves your configuration and reboots. If you have an unmatched pair of P300s, then continue with Step 6: AutoProvisioning a Root RAP and Non-Root MAP P300 Pair. If you want to verify the association between P300s, then continue with Step 7: Verifying Association Between the P300s. Each root RAP P300 can support up to 10 non-root MAP P300s in a pointto-multipoint deployment. For best performance use no more than four non-root MAPs. This step allows you to provision a P300 as a non-root MAP using a local provisioning file. NOTE: When you are manually provisioning another P300, you may also need to assign a static IP address to avoid having multiple P300s with the same IP address (192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.254), unless the IP addresses are to be assigned using DHCP. 1 Log into the P300’s Web interface as described in Step 4: Logging Into the P300 Web Interface. 2 If the P300 is in the unprovisioned, factory-default state, then the P300 displays the Manual Provisioning Wizard. 3 In the Manual Provisioning Wizard, select reMote AP for a MAP. 4 Click Next. The Manual Provisioning Wizard displays the Tell us about your WLAN configuration page. 5 In the Tell us about your WLAN configuration page, select Import Configuration / Choose File. Select the configuration which has been exported from an existing RAP using the procedure in Step 5C: Customizing the Wireless Settings for a Provisioned P300. 6 Click Next. The Manual Provisioning Wizard displays the Your Setup page. 7 In the Your Setup page, click Reboot. The P300 saves your configuration and reboots. If you have an unmatched pair of P300s, then continue with Step 6: AutoProvisioning a Root RAP and Non-Root MAP P300 Pair. If you want to verify the association between P300s, then continue with Step 7: Verifying Association Between the P300s. This step allows you to change the Channel Width, Country Code, SSID and Passphrase selections, as well as the Channel, RAP or MAP mode, and other Advanced and Rate Limiting settings. This step also allows you to deactivate the internal antenna and activate external 5GHz antennas. Finally, it allows you to export a MAP configuration file which can be manually imported into another MAP. Copyright © 2015 Ruckus Wireless, Inc.

The Configuration > Radio 5G page appears. If the P300 displays the Manual Provisioning Wizard page, then skip this step and continue with Step 5A: Manually Provisioning a P300 Using the Web Interface or Step 5B: Manually Provisioning a P300 MAP Using a Local Configuration File. 3 In the Configuration > Radio 5G page, make any or all of the following changes: CAUTION: The Channel, Channel Width, Country Code, SSID and Passphrase entries must be the same for the RAP and all MAPs in the same link set. CAUTION: If you are changing the Country Code after the P300s have already been configured, then you must configure the non-root MAP P300s first and then the root P300 last to avoid losing connectivity. • Radio Network -- This name can be changed. • Channel -- This can remain as Auto (SmartSelect) or you can manually select a channel for this link. • Available Channel -- If you selected Auto Channel, then you can deselect channels that you do not want the link to use. If you selected any other Channel, then you can select channels that the link can also use. • Channel Width -- Select 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz (default). • Country Code -- Select the country in which the P300s will be operating. • Advanced Settings -- Click Edit Advanced Settings. Refer to the Outdoor AP User Guide for instructions. • Rate Limit Settings -- Click Edit Rate Limit Settings. Refer to the Outdoor AP User Guide for instructions. • External Antenna -- Select Enabled to use an external 5GHz antenna, or select Disabled to use the internal P300 antenna. • SSID -- Enter a link-specific service set identifier. • Passphrase -- Enter a link-specific passphrase. • Wireless Bridge Mode -- Select Root AP or reMote AP to change the basic P300 configuration. • Export Configuration (RAP only) -- STOP! If you have made no changes after updating the settings, then click Export Configuration to have the P300 save the current configuration to a local computer file. If you have made any changes, then click Update Settings to have the P300 save your current selections before clicking Export Configuration. Page 3 of 4 4 Click Update Settings to have the P300 save your current selections. Optional: In a default P300 configuration, the P300 uses a DHCPassigned IP address. If you anticipate logging into the P300 regularly to perform monitoring or maintenance once it is in place, then you may want to consider switching from DHCP and instead assigning a static IP address to the P300. A. On the Web interface menu, click Configuration > Internet. B. Click the Static IP option. C. Fill in the IP Address and Mask fields. D. Click Update Settings to save your changes. Click Logout to exit the Web interface. When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page reappears, you can exit your browser. 7 Disconnect the P300 from the computer and from the power source, and then restore your computer to its original network connection configuration. NOTE: You can use a Ruckus Wireless controller for bulk P300 provisioning and performing other commands. Refer to the controller documents for instructions. If you have an unmatched pair of P300s, then continue with Step 6: AutoProvisioning a Root RAP and Non-Root MAP P300 Pair. If you want to verify the association between P300s, then continue with Step 7: Verifying Association Between the P300s. Step 6: Auto-Provisioning a Root RAP and NonRoot MAP P300 Pair If you want a matched pair of root and non-root MAP P300s for a point-topoint connection, then continue with this step. If you do not want a matched pair of root and non-root P300s, or if your P300s are already a matched pair, skip this step and continue with Step 7: Verifying Association Between the P300s. NOTE: Auto provisioning can only be performed on two P300s. If you will be using more than two, then you will need to manually provision the third P300 using Step 5A: Manually Provisioning a P300 Using the Web Interface or Step 5B: Manually Provisioning a P300 MAP Using a Local Configuration File after you have matched a pair of P300s first. NOTE: The resulting root P300 is assigned IP address 192.168.2.1, and the resulting non-root MAP P300 is assigned IP address 192.168.2.254. Both of these IP addresses can be changed manually or by using DHCP after reboot. 1 Power up both P300s. 2 Use an Ethernet cable to connect the two P300s. The auto-provisioning process starts. During the auto-provisioning process, the ROOT LEDs on the P300s flash about once every two seconds until a root and a non-root P300 are selected. The process automatically chooses the P300 with the lower MAC address as the root P300, and automatically chooses the P300 with the higher MAC address as the non-root MAP P300. When the auto-provisioning process is completed, the root P300’s ROOT LED is solid green, and the non-root P300’s ROOT LED is off. 3 Note which P300 is root and which is the non-root MAP. 4 Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the two P300s, and then: A. Log into each P300’s Web interface as described in Step 4: Logging Into the P300 Web Interface. B. Navigate to the Maintenance > Reboot/Reset page and reboot each P300. Continue with Step 7: Verifying Association Between the P300s. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Refer to the P300 Wireless Bridge Mounting Guide. After you have completed the procedures in this guide, continue with the P300 Wireless Bridge Mounting Guide. TROUBLESHOOTING CAUTION: If required, you can reset the P300 to its factory default settings by pressing and holding the reset button located inside the PoE IN port, on the side farther from the P300 LEDs, for six seconds. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO INSTRUCTED. (Doing this resets the P300 IP address to 192.168.2.1.) NOTE: After a reset, you can access the internal P300 web interface using https://192.168.2.1 for a RAP or https://192.168.2.254 for a MAP). Your device must use any other address from 192.168.2.2 through 192.168.2.253, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The username is super, and the password is sp-admin. Refer to the Outdoor Access Point User Guide for information on configuring and operating the P300. This document is available at https://support.ruckuswireless.com NOTE: After an P300 is removed from its mounting, it may drip some water from the channel surrounding the radome. As long as the P300 has been operating normally, this incidental water collection and dripping is normal, and is not service-affecting. Step 7: Verifying Association Between the P300s After you have provisioned a root and non-root pair, verify that they automatically associate with each other. 1 If not already done, power up both P300s. 2 Verify that the PWR LEDs on both P300s are steady green. 3 Log into each P300’s Web interface as described in Step 4: Logging Into the P300 Web Interface. 4 Navigate to each Status > Wireless page. 5 Wait approximately one to two minutes. 6 When the two P300s associate with each other, in the Connected Devices section each Status > Wireless page, the P300 display changes from “No stations are currently associated with this WLAN” to a visual indicator of the connected P300 IP address, MAC address, SSID, and other information. When this information appears, you have verified that the two P300s are associated with each other. Continue with Physical Installation. 7 If the P300s fail to associate with each other after a few minutes, make sure that the Country Codes, SSIDs, and Passphrases are set to the same values, and that the Channels are set to Auto (or to the same channel, if set manually). If these settings are the same, then use the ping, traceroute, show ARP table, and show FDB table tools on the Administration > Diagnostics page to diagnose the problem. Congratulations! You have configured your P300 wireless bridge(s). Continue with Physical Installation. Copyright © 2015 Ruckus Wireless, Inc. Published 26 May 2015, Part Number 800-70607-001 Rev A Page 4 of 4
