Configuring The Ap For Management By A Smartzone Controller; Configuring The Ap For Management By Zonedirector - Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex series User Manual

controller-specific AP firmware. If the AP does not find a controller, then it retains its
base image AP firmware.
NOTE If the AP has been configured with SmartZone or ZoneDirector controller-specific
AP firmware, then it retains that image after a factory reset. To replace a controller-specific
AP image with the standalone AP firmware, download the specific AP image from
https://support.ruckuswireless.com/#products_grid and perform an upgrade from the
AP web interface.
The procedure for completing the AP's basic configuration depends on whether you
want it to be managed by SmartZone, ZoneDirector, FlexMaster, or to operate as a
standalone AP. Refer to the section that is relevant to your deployment:

Configuring the AP for Management by ZoneDirector

Configuring the AP for Management by a SmartZone Controller
When your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by a SmartZone controller, you can
manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP's web
interface.
If a SmartZone controller is installed on the network, follow the instructions in the
SmartZone documentation to configure the controller, and then connect the AP to your
network. The AP automatically finds the controller and then downloads the
SmartZone-compatible AP firmware image from the controller.
NOTE The AP must have some way of obtaining an IP address (IPv4 DHCP or IPv6
Auto Configuration).
Configuring the AP for Management by ZoneDirector
When your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by a ZoneDirector controller, you can
manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP's web
interface.
If ZoneDirector is installed on the network, then follow the instructions in the ZoneDirector
User Guide and connect the AP to your network. The AP finds the ZD, and then
downloads the ZD-compatible AP image from the controller.
NOTE The AP must have some way of obtaining an IP address (IPv4 DHCP or IPv6
Auto Configuration).
