Installing the Wireless Bridge
Before You Begin
The Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7731 802.11n wireless bridge provides a reliable, high
speed wireless bridge connection between networks that is easy to install and
maintain.
The ZoneFlex 7731 units are shipped in pre-configured pairs so that you do not need
to manually configure the units prior to installation. Simply install the root bridge at
the edge of your core network, install the non-root bridge at the edge of the network
you want to bridge, aim the pair, and you’re done.
Therefore much of the information in this User Guide is for reference only or for more
advanced configuration options. For the quickest setup instructions, refer to the
Getting Started Guide that came with your ZoneFlex 7731 unit(s).
Before starting with the installation, make sure that you have the required items for
the installation ready.
Preparing for Installation
This section describes the configuration procedures required before you proceed to
mount the ZoneFlex 7731 wireless bridge units in their permanent locations. These
tasks should be performed prior to connecting any ZoneFlex 7731 to your live network.
