Navigating the Web Interface 2 In this chapter: • Logging Into the ZoneFlex AP Web Interface • Navigating the Web Interface • When Using a Dual-Band Access Point Logging Into the ZoneFlex AP Web Interface You can manage your AP with the ZoneFlex Web interface (which you already used to configure basic AP parameters). If your ZoneFlex network is managed by a Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector, then you can manage APs using ZoneDirector rather than individually logging into each AP’s Web interface.
Navigating the Web Interface Navigating the Web Interface You manage the Access Point through a Web browser-based interface that you can access from any networked computer. Table 23 lists the Web interface features that are identified in Figure 26. Figure 26. Elements of the ZoneFlex AP Web Interface 2 1 3 4 5 Table 23. ZoneFlex AP Web interface elements No. Element Description 1 Menu Under each category (Status, Configuration, etc.
Navigating the Web Interface When Using a Dual-Band Access Point When Using a Dual-Band Access Point If your ZoneFlex AP model is dual-band, then note that elements on the Web interface menu are slightly different from single-band ZoneFlex AP models. Dual-band ZoneFlex APs have one 2.4GHz radio (for 802.11b/g/n clients) and one 5GHz radio (for 802.11a/n clients). The wireless settings for these two radios need to be configured separately, which is why the dual-band AP Web interface has the Radio 2.
Configuring the Access Point 3 In this chapter: • Configuring Device Settings • Configuring Internet Settings • Configuring Local Subnets • Configuring Wireless Settings • Configuring Ethernet Ports • Configuring Hotspot Service This chapter provides instructions for configuring ZoneFlex Access Points in a standalone configuration. If you plan to manage your ZoneFlex network using ZoneDirector, refer to the ZoneDirector User Manual, available from the Ruckus website at http://support.ruckuswireless.
Configuring Device Settings Configuring Device Settings Device settings refer to the device name, location, temperature update, service provider login, and other settings. (Some settings are only available on certain ZoneFlex models.) 1 Go to Configuration > Device. Figure 28. The Configuration > Device page 2 In Device Name, type a new name for the device or leave as is to accept the default device name (RuckusAP). The device name identifies this access point among other devices on the network.

Configuring Internet Settings VLAN Settings Overview Configuring Internet Settings Internet settings define how the Access Point connects to your local area network and to the Internet. This section describes how to view and configure the Access Point’s Internet settings. Topics discussed include: • VLAN Settings Overview • Configuring an NTP Server • Configuring the Management VLAN • Default IP Addressing Behavior • Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address • Configuring L2TP Connection Settings Figure 29.
Configuring Internet Settings Configuring an NTP Server AP Ethernet ports however, can be configured to pass all VLAN traffic (Trunk Ports) or multiple specific VLANs (General ports). The VLAN displayed in the Web interface shows the AP’s view of the VLAN environment; when a packet arrives at an AP’s Ethernet port, the port’s VLAN configuration helps determine if the packet is accepted or not (VLAN membership), and assigns a default VLAN (untagged VLAN) if the packet contains no 802.1Q header.
Configuring Internet Settings Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address For IPv6, the Auto Configuration setting serves the same purpose as DHCP. The default static IPv6 address is fc00::1.

Configuring Internet Settings Configuring L2TP Connection Settings Configuring L2TP Connection Settings You can implement transparent bridging with ZoneFlex by using L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) tunneling. By tunneling traffic from a ZoneFlex AP to a centralized data center, access controllers with policy enforcement software can apply rules and services. In a typical WLAN implementation, these rules include a captive portal to authenticate users’ credentials.
Configuring Internet Settings Configuring L2TP Connection Settings 6 In Close WLAN When Tunnel Fail, select Enable if you want to disable the WLAN when the tunnel connection is lost. This prevents clients from remaining seemingly connected to the WLAN but without Internet connectivity. 7 Click Update Settings to save your changes. ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point 9.8.
Configuring Local Subnets Configuring L2TP Connection Settings Configuring Local Subnets ZoneFlex Access Points can be configured to provide routing/network address translation (NAT) functionality using the Local Subnets feature. When a Local Subnet is enabled, the standalone AP serves as a gateway router that can manage its own subnets, providing DHCP server and DNS cache functions for both wired and wireless clients. These clients can be assigned private IP addresses from a userdefined address pool.
Configuring Local Subnets Configuring L2TP Connection Settings 5 In DHCP Server, click Enabled if you want to enable DHCP for this subnet. Starting Address and Maximum DHCP Users fields appear. 6 In Starting Address, enter an address in the same subnet as the Local IP Address (for example, 192.168.40.2). 7 In Maximum DHCP Users, enter the maximum number of clients that can be assigned addresses by DHCP in this subnet (valid values are 1-253 if the default subnet mask is used).
Configuring Wireless Settings Configuring Common Wireless Settings Configuring Wireless Settings This section describes how to configure the wireless settings of the Access Point. There are two types of wireless settings that you need to configure: • Configuring Common Wireless Settings: Includes the wireless mode, country code, and advanced wireless settings, such as the wireless transmit power and wireless protection mode. These settings are applied to all WLANs.

Upgrading the Firmware Upgrading Manually via FTP or TFTP Upgrading the Firmware You can use the Web interface to check for software updates/upgrades for the firmware built into the AP. You can then apply these updates to the device in one of two ways: (1) manual updating on an as-needed basis or (2) automating a regularly scheduled update.
Upgrading the Firmware Upgrading Manually via the Web CAUTION! Do not change any of the Image Control File, Username or Password entries. 3 Click Perform Upgrade. A status bar appears during the upgrade process. 4 After the upgrade is completed, you must manually reboot the AP. Upgrading Manually via the Web 1 In the Upgrade Method options, click Web. 2 If instructed to choose a different URL than the default value, type the URL of the download Web site in Url. Remember to start the URL with http://.
Upgrading the Firmware Scheduling Automatic Upgrades 5 Choose whether to reboot immediately after upgrading, or schedule the reboot for a specific time of day using the Schedule Reboot Time After Upgrade list. Choosing Any Time (the default value) results in the AP performing a reboot immediately after the automatic upgrade is successful. 6 You have two options at this point: • Click Perform Upgrade, which starts the process and the clock. The next upgrade occurs at the selected interval.
Rebooting the AP and Cable Modem Scheduling Automatic Upgrades Rebooting the AP and Cable Modem You can use the Web interface to prompt the AP to reboot, which restarts the AP without changing any of the current settings. If your AP is equipped with an integral Cable Modem (such as a 7781CM), then you can use the AP Web interface to prompt the CM to reboot, which restarts the CM without changing any of the current settings.
Resetting the AP to Factory Defaults Scheduling Automatic Upgrades Resetting the AP to Factory Defaults WARNING! DO NOT reset the Access Point to factory defaults unless you are directed to do so by Ruckus Wireless support staff or by a network administrator. Do this only if you are able to immediately reconnect the restored AP to your computer, to reconfigure it for Wi-Fi network use — as detailed in “Logging Into the ZoneFlex AP Web Interface” on page 64.
Running Diagnostics Scheduling Automatic Upgrades Running Diagnostics Two network connection diagnostic tools, ping and traceroute, have been built into the AP to help you check network connections from the Web interface. 1 Go to Administration > Diagnostics.
