When you first log into your ZoneDirector using the Web interface,
the Dashboard appears, displaying a number of widgets containing
indicators and tables that summarize the network and its current
status. Each indicator, gauge or table provides links to more
focused, detailed views on elements of the network.
TIP: You can minimize (hide) any of the tables or indicators on the
Dashboard, then reopen them by means of the Add Widget options
in the lower left corner.
Widgets are Dashboard components, each containing a separate
indicator or table as part of the active dashboard. Each widget can
be added or removed to enhance your ZoneDirector Dashboard
summary needs.
Click any of the four tabs (Dashboard, Configure, Monitor, and
Administer) to take advantage of related sets of features and
options. When you click a tab, ZoneDirector displays a collection of
tab-specific buttons. Each tab's buttons are a starting point for
Ruckus Wireless network setup, management, and monitoring.
The left-side column of buttons varies according to which tab has
been clicked. The buttons provide features that assist you in
managing and monitoring your network. Click a button to see
related options in the workspace to the right.
The large area to the right of the buttons will display specific sets
of features and options, depending on which tab is open and which
button was clicked.
The drop-down menu at the top right corner provides access to the
Real Time Monitoring, Auto-Refresh and Network Connectivity
tools, used for diagnosing and monitoring your ZoneFlex network.
It also provides a tool to stop and start automatically refreshing the
Web interface pages.
Clicking Help launches the online Help - which is an HTML-based
subset of the information contained in this User Guide. Click Log
Out to exit the Web interface.
