The FlexMaster Device View allows administrators to confi gure and 
monitor individual Ruckus devices.

FlexMaster communicates with Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi systems 

using industry-standard SNMP, SOAP/HTTP protocols, and takes 

advantage of TR-069 to establish safe and reliable links between 

the managed devices and the FlexMaster server. This enables 

remote access to devices on the LAN that normally might be inac-

cessible due to network address translation issues. Ruckus Smart 

Wi-Fi APs can also be directly queried by other third-party SNMP 

or auto confi guration server (ACS) systems using TR-069.

Additionally, MediaFlex and ZoneFlex APs automatically reports to 

the FlexMaster server during initial installation, and at pre-specifi ed 

periods. The FlexMaster can manually initiate instant communica-

tion, or schedule tasks to be performed at an opportune time.

At-a-Glance Dashboard

The FlexMaster Dashboard View provides at-a-glance summary of 

all of the connected Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi devices that the Flex-

Master is managing.

The Dashboard View categorizes the different types of devices in 

the network, as well as the fi rmware version of the devices.

An intuitive Events section gives the network administrator a quick 

reference about the condition of the network. And a detailed 

event timeline provides trend and historical records of all impor-

tant events that have occurred over the previous period.

The network administrator can quickly return to a specifi ed time to 

troubleshoot and analyze any abnormal conditions. 

Detailed Inventory View 

The FlexMaster Inventory view provides a detailed report of all of 

the Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi devices in the network. Network adminis-

trators can easily navigate to any device and drill down for more 

detailed information.

Integrating with the Google Map application, each of the devices 

can be geographically displayed on the map to provide a more 

physical presence to the network administrator. The devices can 

be tagged into different groups (for example, access points for 

hot spot chain, access points for hotel chain, access points for 

Northern City, etc.) to improve the manageability.

Flexible Managed Services Confi guration Templates

The FlexMaster Template view gives service providers a simple way 

to set up the confi guration profi les for different parameter settings 

of devices. For example, if an administrator wants to confi gure 

ZoneFlex APs for a hot spot chain differently than for a hotel chain, 

then two templates with different parameters can be set up, saved 

or modifi ed before applying the confi guration to the devices.

Bulk Firmware Upgrades

Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi system fi rmware can be upgraded individually 

or in bulk. FlexMaster allows the operator to select a set of devices, 

schedule the fi rmware upgrade, and receive notifi cation when the up-

grade is complete. With a simple click of the mouse, the operator has
