VLAN and Subnet Configuration on ZD1100 and 5 x 7900 APs

Hi,

I'm aiming to setup a working test environment consisting of 1 x ZD1100 and 5

x Zone Flex 7900 APs and 1 x Cisco 3750x L3 switch to power the APs and do the routing:

I want to separate traffic using 4 VLANs and 4 Subnets:

VLAN 10 Management 10.5.10.0/24
VLAN 130 Guest WiFi 10.5.130.0/24
VLAN 140 Production WiFi 10.5.140.0/24
VLAN 160 Staging WiFi 10.5.160.0/24

I've SVIs setup on the Cisco 3750x:
VLAN 10: 10.5.10.1/24
VLAN 130: 10.5.130.1/24
VLAN 140: 10.5.140.1/24
VLAN 160: 10.5.160.1/24

For the time being I'll use the Cisco 3750x for DHCP configured with 3 pools
for VLAN 130,140,160. (Eventually I'll move these scopes to an external DHCP
server.

I want to assign the ZD and APs with management IP addressing in the .10

subnet i.e.:

ZD 10.5.10.50
AP1: 10.5.10.51
AP2: 10.5.10.52
AP3: 10.5.10.53
AP4: 10.5.10.54
AP5:10.5.10.55

At the moment I've the APs and ZD1100 connected to the Cisco 3750x switch via

6 open trunks (Native VLAN 1) respectfully.

eg:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport
description AP01 Testing
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast
end

As I'm well aware I'm missing some fundamental information on how the ZD and APs communicate.

My questions are:

What VLANs and subnets do I configure on the ZD1100 and APs ? (I only see an option to configure the ZD as an Access VLAN)

And how do I configure these on ZD1100 and which interfaces do I configure (i.e. management or system or both)?

Thanks in advance for any help received.
