Introduction to the Ruckus Wireless Network
Your new Ruckus Wireless network starts when you disperse a number of Ruckus
Wireless access points (APs) to efficiently cover your worksite. After connecting the
APs to ZoneDirector (through network hubs or switches), running through the Setup
Wizard and completing the “Zero-IT” setup, you have a secure wireless network for
both registered users and guest users.
NOTE: “Zero-IT” refers to ZoneDirector’s simple setup and ease-of-use features,
which allow end users to automatically self-configure wireless settings on Windows
and Mac OS clients as well as many mobile devices including iOS, Windows Phone
and Android OS devices.
After using the web interface to set up user accounts for staff and other authorized
users, your WLAN can be put to full use, enabling users to share files, print, check
email, and more. And as a bonus, guest workers, contractors and visitors can be
granted limited controlled access to a separate “Guest WLAN” with minimal setup.
You can now fine-tune and monitor your network through the web interface, which
enables you to customize additional WLANs for authorized users, manage your
users, monitor the network's security and performance, and expand your radio
coverage, if needed.
Ensuring That APs Can Communicate with
ZoneDirector
Before ZoneDirector can start managing an AP, the AP must first be able to discover
ZoneDirector on the network when it boots up. This requires that ZoneDirector's IP
address be reachable by the AP (via UDP/IP port numbers 12222 and 12223), even
when they are on different subnets.
This section describes procedures you can perform to ensure that APs can discover
and register with ZoneDirector.
NOTE: This guide assumes that APs on the network are configured to obtain IP
addresses from a DHCP server. If APs are assigned static IP addresses, they must
be using a local DNS server that you can configure to resolve the ZoneDirector IP
address using
zonedirector.{DNS domain name}
or
zonedirector
if no
domain name is defined on the DNS server.
