ZoneDirector 3000
Centralized Enterprise Smart WLAN Controller
The ZoneDirector 3000 provides
a detail map view that lets
administrators quickly see the Wi-Fi
network topology for all ZoneFlex
Smart Wi-Fi access points.
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 confi gures the client system with
the designated SSID and a dynamically-generated encryp-
tion 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.

The ZoneDirector automatically controls the channel assign-
ments and transmit power of all ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs. And
with BeamFlex, the ZoneFlex system continuously picks the
best path for every packet, to both clients outside the network
and mesh APs inside the network, automatically avoiding inter-
ference, to guarantee the highest quality of service.

Smart Mesh Networking Increases Flexibility, Reduces Costs
Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking enables self-organizing and self-
healing WLAN deployment. It eliminates the need to run Ethernet
cables to every AP, allowing administrators to simply plug in
ZoneFlex APs to any power source and walk away. All confi guration
and management is delivered through the ZoneDirector Smart
WLAN controller. Smart meshing uses patented Smart Wi-Fi
technology to extend range and control Wi-Fi signals to minimize
inter-nodal hops that degrade performance and automatically adapt
Wi-Fi connections between nodes to maintain ultra high reliability.
