Technology Extends Signal
Range, Improves Stability of Client Connections
The ZoneFlex 7962 Smart Wi-Fi access point integrates a
software-controlled smart antenna array that delivers 7dBi
of signal gain and 15dB of interference rejection. This allows
a 2 to 4x improvement in signal range and a reduction in
packet loss from the ability to automatically avoid interfer-
ence and obstacles.
Advanced WLAN Applications
with Smart/OS
When used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector
Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex 7962
supports a wide range of value-added applica-
tions such as guest networking, Smart Wireless
Meshing, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication,
wireless intrusion detection and many more.
With Smart/OS, up to 2,048 discrete WLANs can be created
and mapped to the same or different APs or VLANs. WLANs
can also be grouped and shared by specic APs. In a centrally
managed conguration, the ZoneFlex 7962 works with a wide
range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active
Directory, LDAP, and RADIUS.
Flexible Deployment Options
ZoneFlex 7962 APs can be deployed as a standalone
AP or as part of a centrally managed wireless LAN using
ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers. ZoneFlex 7962’s
can be deployed across any L2/L3 network, and can bridge
trafc onto the local network, tunnel to a central location
using L2TP or PPPoE, or route between the WAN and NAT’d
private subnets. It can be wired to the network or connect
wirelessly by meshing to another AP when Ethernet cabling
is unavailable. When used with ZoneDirector, the ZoneFlex
7962 is automatically congured through the network mak-
ing deployment quick and easy.
Complete Local and Remote Management
The ZoneFlex 7962 can be managed as a standalone AP
through a Web-based GUI, using SNMP or through the
Ruckus FlexMaster Wi-Fi remote management system.
Local management can also be performed using the
ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller. FlexMaster is a
LINUX-based software platform that uses industry-standard
protocols to perform bulk conguration, fault detection,
monitoring and a wide range of troubleshooting capabili-
ties over a wire area connection. The ZoneDirector enables
local management and control of APs, adding value-added
services such as transmit power control, guest networking
and meshing.
