simple to Deploy
The Ruckus ZoneDirector integrates seamlessly with existing
switches, firewalls, authentication servers and other network
infrastructure. The ZoneDirector can be placed within any Layer
2/3 network. All Ruckus ZoneFlex APs (wired or meshed) then
automatically discover the Ruckus ZoneDirector, self configure
and become instantly manageable. Ruckus Smart Redundancy
ensures high network availability and is easy to use with
automatic synchronization of configuration and authorized users
between ZoneDirectors.

simple to manage
Once up and running the ZoneDirector automatically manages
the ZoneFlex network of APs — automatically adjusting transmit
power levels and RF channel assignments as needed, to avoid
interference, prevent adjacent APs from interfering and enable
redundant coverage in the event of an AP failure. Configura-
tion changes can easily be applied to multiple APs, or the entire
system, simultaneously. A customizable dashboard provides
instant access to a variety of client and network information
and events, and a real-time heat map displays AP locations
and signal coverage, as well as your Ruckus Smart Mesh
Networking topology.

ZoneDirector Smart WLAN systems integrate a unique
performance utility from Ruckus called SpeedFlex™. Ruckus
SpeedFlex allows administrators to locally or remotely determine
client Wi-Fi performance over the wireless LAN. With SpeedFlex,

SpeedFlex allows administrators to locally or remotely determine
client Wi-Fi performance over the wireless LAN. With SpeedFlex,
administrators can now better plan, troubleshoot, monitor
and measure WLAN performance, eliminating the need to use
Internet-based speed tools that often provide inaccurate results
of the local Wi-Fi environment.

simple to secure
The ZoneDirector 3000 provides innovative new techniques that
simplify and automate Wi-Fi security. In addition to enterprise-
class 802.1x support and dynamic VLAN assignment capabili-
ties, the ZoneDirector 3000 supports a patent-pending Dynamic
Pre-Shared Key (PSK) capability that streamlines WLAN security.

Pre-Shared Key (PSK) capability that streamlines WLAN security.
First-time users plug their computers into the LAN and specify
a URL that directs them to a captive web portal for a one-time
authentication. After successful authentication, the ZoneDirector
automatically configures the client system with the designated
SSID and a dynamically-generated encryption key. The key is
bound to the client, and can be removed upon expiration when
the user or the user’s device is no longer trusted.

The Ruckus ZoneDirector centralizes authentication and
authorization decisions for all APs, providing secure admission
control across the WLAN. It works with any backend authenti-
cation database such as RADIUS and ActiveDirectory and also
comes with an internal authentication database. Additionally,
clients can be dynamically assigned to a VLAN based on their
RADIUS attributes.
