Installing the Access Point
Step 1: Preconfigure the Access Point
Before starting this procedure, check the back panel of the Access Point (above the
recess where the bottom connectors are located), and then write down the MAC
address of the Access Point. You will need the MAC address to identify the Access
Point on the ZoneDirector Web interface.
What You Will Need
Before starting with the configuration task, make sure that you have the following
requirements ready:
■ A computer from which you can access the ZoneDirector Web interface
■ Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later) installed on
the administrative computer
■ One Ethernet cable
■ Your ZoneFlex Access Point and the supplied power adapter
1. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source
1. Connect the power jack to the power connector on the rear panel of your ZoneFlex
Access Point.
2. Connect the power adapter to a power source.
3. Verify that the power LED on the Access Point is green.
You have completed connecting the Access Point to a power source.
2. Connect the Access Point to the Same Subnet as
ZoneDirector
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN (RJ-45) port on the rear panel of
the Access Point.
NOTE: If you are using ZoneFlex 2925 AP, make sure you connect the Ethernet cable
to one of the four LAN ports (not the WAN port).
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the same Layer 2 subnet as
ZoneDirector. The same Layer 2 subnet means that there should not be any router
between the Access Point and ZoneDirector.
3. Log into the ZoneDirector Web interface, and then go to the Monitor > Access
Points page.
4. Look for the MAC address of the Access Point, and then check its Status column.
• If automatic approval is enabled, the Status column should show Connected.
• If automatic approval is disabled, click the Allow link that is on the same row
as the Access Point’s MAC address. This allows the Access Point to register
with ZoneDirector.
