ZoneFlex APs (wired or meshed) then automatically discover the Ruckus
ZoneDirector, self confi gure and become instantly manageable.
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 prevent adjacent APs
from interfering and enable redundant coverage in the event of an AP
failure. Confi guration 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.
