Reviewing the ZoneDirector Monitoring Options
The following highlights key ZoneDirector tab options and what you can do with them.
Dashboard
Every time you log in to the ZoneDirector via WebUI, this collection of status
surveys appears. Use it as your regular network-monitoring starting point.
Data are blue-colored links that you can use to further drill down to focus on
particular activities or devices.
Monitor
The Map View provides a fast scan of key network factors: APs (legitimate,
neighboring and rogue), client devices, and radio frequency (RF) coverage.
You can see what devices are where in your floorplan, and visually evaluate
network coverage.
Other Monitor tab options incorporated in the left column's buttons provide
numeric data on WLAN performance and individual device activity. As with
Dashboard, some data entries are links that take you to more detailed infor-
mation. And, finally, the All Events log displays the most recent actions by
users, devices and network, in chronological order.
Configure
Use the options in this tab to assess the current state of WLAN users, any
restricted WLANs, along with the settings for guest access, user roles, etc.
You can also combine this tab's options with those in the Admin tab to per-
form system diagnostics and other preventive tasks.
Importing a Map View Floorplan Image
If your Ruckus ZoneDirector does not display a floorplan for your worksite when you open
the Monitor tab Map View, you can import a floorplan and place AP markers in relevant loca-
tions by following these steps.
There is no limit on the number of floor maps that can be imported. There is a limit on the
total size of all floor maps that are imported to the system: 2MB (an error message displays
if the total size of floor maps is more than 2MB).
Requirements
• A floorplan image in .GIF, .JPG or .PNG format
• The image should be monochrome or grayscale
• The file size should be no larger than 200Kb in size
• The floorplan image should be (ideally) no larger than 10 inches (720 pixels) per side.
