Configuring the Access Point
Configuring Common Wireless Settings
CAUTION: Selecting the incorrect country or region may result in violation of appli-
cable laws. If you purchased the AP in the United States, you do not need to manually
set the country code. Ruckus Wireless APs that are sold in the US are preconfigured
with the correct country code and this setting cannot be changed.
3. If you are using AeroScout Tags in your organization to locate assets or personnel,
you can use your ZoneFlex AP to relay location or presence data from the
AeroScout Tags to the AeroScout Engine via Wi-Fi.
To enable the AP to relay AeroScout data, click the Enable option in AeroScout
RFID tag detection.
To check the status of the AeroScout communication agent (which relays location
data from AeroScout Tags to the AeroScout Engine), go to the Status > Wireless
page. Refer to “Viewing Current Device Settings” on page 79 for more informa-
tion.
NOTE: For other AeroScout-related configuration, refer to the AeroScout documen-
tation that was shipped with your AeroScout Tag and AeroScout Engine.
Channel Width (11n APs only) On 802.11n Access Points, the option to choose
40MHz channel width provides (theoretically)
double the data capacity of the channel. However,
wider channel width means fewer channels
available, and more interference with other
wireless signals.
Country Code This option (if enabled) lets you select your
country or region code.
Advanced Settings Refer to “Reviewing the Advanced > Common
Options” on page 59.
External Antenna NOTE: This option only appears if you are using
the ZoneFlex 2942 AP.
The ZoneFlex 2942 AP provides an external
antenna port, in case you want to attach an
external antenna to extend the range of your
wireless network. To enable the AP to use the
external antenna, select the Enabled option in
this section. This option is disabled by default.
