CAUTION: If you assign static IP addresses, you must ensure that the IP addresses assigned are unique network-wide to prevent conflict. To assign a static IP address, select the Static IP radio button after “Connection Type,” and enter the desired address and subnet mask as shown in Figure 15. Figure 15. Changing the IP address Click Update Settings to confirm the changes. 23 Pre-Installation Configuration Access the Web Interface You will need to re-enter the new IP address in your browser and login again to continue editing configuration options. The non-root bridge will automatically detect the new IP address of the root bridge and attempt to associate with it. NOTE: This process may take several minutes. Do not unplug the ZoneFlex 7731 while it is updating its IP address. Change Device Name, Location, User Name and Password In addition to the IP address, you can also change the device name, location, login name and password on this page. 1. On the Configuration > Bridge page, replace the existing device name (default: “RuckusWB”) with your preferred name for the device, as shown in Figure 16. Figure 16. Changing the device name, location, user name and password 2. Enter a Device Location to easily identify the location of the unit. 3. Enter GPS coordinates for location management via FlexMaster. 4. Change the User Name and Password used to access the Web interface. 5. Click Update Settings to confirm changes. Enable Management VLAN If you would like to enable wireless bridge traffic to be part of an existing network management VLAN, you can set the Wireless Bridge’s management VLAN to match your network via the Configuration > Bridge page, as shown in Figure 17. 24 Pre-Installation Configuration Access the Web Interface Figure 17. Enable Management VLAN Click Enable next to Management VLAN and enter the VLAN ID in the field below. Click Update Settings to confirm changes. Change SSID and Encryption Method NOTE: If these changes are made after the units are mounted, make the changes to the remote unit, whether it be Root or Non-Root, first to avoid loss of connection. At factory default, the Root bridge will have a unique SSID and WPA-PSK passphrase which matches that of the Non-Root bridge. Changing these values will cause the two bridge units to be unable to communicate with one another unless the values match. To change the SSID, encryption method and passphrase, open the Configuration > Wireless page. Enter a unique SSID in the SSID field and click Update Settings, as shown in Figure 18. NOTE: Write down all the entries made in this step, as you will need to reenter them later when you configure the non-root bridge. 25 Pre-Installation Configuration Access the Web Interface Figure 18. Change SSID, encryption method and passphrase Configure Network Management Settings The ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge can be managed remotely using either SNMP or Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster (TR069 protocol) server. To access the network management settings, click on Administration > Management. By default, the network management method is set to Auto, meaning that the ZoneFlex 7731 will be managed by FlexMaster server if available, and by SNMP if no FlexMaster server is found on the network. 26 Pre-Installation Configuration Access the Web Interface Figure 19. Administration :: Management page If you want to manage the Wireless Bridge using SNMP even when a FlexMaster server is available, select SNMP only under “TR069/SNMP Management Choice,” then enter the Read-Only/Read-Write Community information, along with the SNMP Trap server IP address in the appropriate spaces. Click Update Settings to confirm changes. The SNMP ACL option allows you to restrict the number of devices that can access the Wireless Bridge for management purposes. If the SNMP ACL (access control list) is disabled, then any device on the network will be able to access the Wireless Bridge using SNMP commands. 27 Pre-Installation Configuration Access the Web Interface Figure 20. Enable SNMP Access Control List To restrict SNMP access to the Wireless Bridge: 1. On the Administration > Management page, click on SNMP Only under the heading “TR069 / SNMP Management Choice.” 2. Select Enabled next to the “SNMP ACL” line. 3. Enter the IP addresses of up to 4 SNMP servers. 4. Click Update Settings to confirm changes. For Flexmaster server management, refer to “(Optional) Set the FlexMaster Server Address” on page 60. Step 7: Change Non-Root Bridge Configuration Settings Repeat steps 1-6 for the Non-Root bridge for any changes you made to the Root bridge settings. If you did not make any changes, you only need to repeat step 1 to provide power and Ethernet to the non-root bridge, then proceed to Step 8: Test the Link Between the Bridges. Note that setting the Country Code for the Root Bridge requires that the same setting be made for the Non-Root Bridge. Step 8: Test the Link Between the Bridges The SpeedFlex utility lets you test the data transfer speeds between the two bridge units. Click the SpeedFlex icon on the home page (Status > Wireless) to begin testing. 28 Pre-Installation Configuration Access the Web Interface Figure 21.

Restore the computer’s network settings by typing the original IP address settings in the TCP/IP Properties dialog box. 5. On the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, click OK to close it. 30 Provisioning and Associating the Wireless Bridge Pair (Optional) Auto Provisioning 6. Click OK again to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. You are now ready to begin the physical installation. 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 NonRoot bridge. However, if you need to reset either unit to its factory defaults, replace 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 NonRoot 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 unless 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. 31 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 blinking of these two LEDs indicates that provisioning is complete. 6. After provisioning is complete, LED 4 (ROLE) indicates which unit is the Root and NonRoot unit. The ROLE LED is solid yellow for the Root bridge while the Non-Root bridge’s ROLE LED is OFF. 7. Take note of which unit is the Root bridge and which is the Non-Root bridge. 8. When 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. Because 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 Web 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. Figure 24. 32 Provisioning Quick Start Wizard Provisioning and Associating the Wireless Bridge Pair (Optional) Manual Provisioning Using the Web Interface 3. Select Root Bridge and click Next to continue. 4. Adjust settings on the WLAN configuration page if necessary, and click Next to continue. Figure 25. WLAN Configuration options 5. Set the Country Code to your location. Do not change any of the settings under Channel, Channel Width, or Broadcast SSID at this time. 6. Write down the SSID, encryption settings and Passphrase, as you will need to enter these values when you provision the Non-Root bridge. Figure 26. Reboot after completing the Provisioning Wizard 7. Click Reboot to confirm changes and reboot the bridge. 33 Provisioning and Associating the Wireless Bridge Pair (Optional) Associating 8. Repeat steps 2-7 for the non-root bridge, selecting Non-Root Bridge on Step 3, and making sure you enter the same values on the WLAN Configuration page as those of the root bridge. You have finished manually provisioning the wireless bridge pair. Associating Once the bridge pair has been provisioned, verify that they have associated with one another. If no association between the two bridge units has been established, the following will be displayed: Figure 27. No association established The units will automatically associate with one another after about 1 to 2 minutes. Once the association is complete, the page will refresh and the Connected Device information will be displayed, as shown: 34 Provisioning and Associating the Wireless Bridge Pair (Optional) Associating Figure 28. Association established If no association is established after a few minutes, the Web interface provides several tools for diagnosing the problem, which can be found on the Administration > Diagnostics page. Tools include Ping, Traceroute, Show ARP Table and Show FDB Table. Figure 29.
