Mixing SSIDs between new Ruckus and old Dlink

[Shorty]

Hi All,

 

We have just purchased 4 Ruckus APs and Zone director from CP (thanks Simon) very impressed so far just had one AP up and its covering the same area I was having to use 2/3 of my old dlinks on. One question I have our exisiting wireless network is setup with 6 APs all using the same SSID on a different channel to allow roaming around the site. Even though I have the new Ruckus setup I am wanting to still use some of the old APS as they are on omni directional aerials in a few venues that I still wish to keep going.

 

Can I simply put the SSID of the Ruckus the same as the others and allow seamless connections ?

 

 

Cheers

Yes, and if they support IAPP you'll find hand-overs almost instant.

 

Our site covers 5 very large buildings, and all our access points are on the same SSID, albeit different channels depending on area and never had any fault with them, hand-over is pretty seemless as well.
