Reviewing the ZoneDirector Monitoring Options
Reviewing the ZoneDirector Monitoring Options
The following highlights key ZoneDirector tab options and what you can do with them.
•
Dashboard: Every time you log into ZoneDirector via the Web interface, this collection of
status indicators 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.
•
Real Time Monitoring: To view network traffic, resource utilization and usage statistics in
real time, use the Real Time Monitoring tool accessible via the Toolbox at the top of any
page of the Web interface (see
•
Monitor > Map View provides a fast scan of key network factors: APs (legitimate, neigh-
boring and rogue), client devices, and RF coverage. You can see what devices are where in
your floorplan, and visually evaluate network coverage.
NOTE: For Map View to work, your computer must have Java version 7 installed. If it is not
installed, ZoneDirector will notify you that you need to download it. The latest version can be
downloaded from www.java.com.
•
Other Monitor tab options incorporated in the left column's buttons provide numeric data
on WLAN performance and individual device activity. As with the Dashboard, some data
entries are links that take you to more detailed information. And, finally, the All Events/
Activities log displays the most recent actions by users, devices and network, in chronolog-
ical 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 Administer tab to perform 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 locations
by following the steps outlined in this section. The sample floorplan image cannot be deleted,
but it can be replaced with an actual floorplan image file and relabeled. Then you can add
additional floorplan maps for additional locations or floors.
You can import an unlimited number of floorplan images to ZoneDirector. However, the total
file size of all imported floor maps is limited to 2MB on ZoneDirector 1100 and 10MB on
ZoneDirector 3000/5000. An error message appears when these file size limits are reached.
Additionally, the maximum file size per floorplan image is 512kb. (200kb or smaller is recom-
mended).
