ZoneDirector 1000
Centralized Enterprise Smart WLAN Controller
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 encryption key.
The key is bound to the client, and can be removed upon expira-
tion when the user or the user’s device is no longer trusted.

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

picks the best path for every packet, to both clients outside the
network and mesh APs inside the network, automatically avoid-

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 gura-
tion and management is delivered through the ZoneDirector Smart
WLAN controller. Smart meshing uses patented Smart Wi-Fi tech-
nology 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.
