New WAP

[Smee]

Hello.

When adding a new wireless access point to our ruckus network Is it as simple as connecting to wired network and then finding the new WAP in the wireless console. sorry for sounding thick but the school use to use a company to install all things wireless but after a budget cuts and a "disagreement" with said company its now up to me :/

Thanks

Hi Smee, if your network is flat (No Vlans) then it really should be plug and play. Connect the AP to network and power the AP will then find the ZD and as long as you have automatically approve AP's i will join the ZD (AP Licence depending) and download the ZD fw. On the AP you should see the DIR light go solid once connected and up and running. If DIR is flashing it either can't find the ZD or still updating fw. if you have vlans on the network i would create a DNS entry of ZoneDirector.FQDN to the ip of the ZD this will then allow the AP to find the ZD on the network.

 

Give me a PM if you need any more.
