Simple to Deploy
The Ruckus ZD5000 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 ZD5000 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. Configur ation 
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  
Meshing 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, 
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 ZD5000 provides innovative new techniques that simplify 
and automate Wi-Fi security. In addition to enterprise-class 
802.1X support and dynamic VLAN assignment capabilities, the 
ZD5000 supports a patented Dynamic 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 ZD 5000 has multiple I/O port configuration options, is 
field upgradable and can be deployed anywhere within a Layer 
2/3 network. All ZoneFlex APs are dynamically discovered and 
automatically provisioned by the ZoneDirector.

The ZD5000 centralizes authentication and authorization 
decisions for all APs, providing secure admission control  
across the WLAN. It works with any backend authentication 
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.
