ZoneDirector
™
3000
The First Simple and Powerful Enterprise
Smart Wireless LAN Controller
The Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector 3000 is the fi rst enterprise-class Smart Wireless LAN system that delivers a secure, robust and easily expandable WLAN solution at an unmatched total cost of ownership.
Capable of managing up to 500 ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi access points from a single location, the Ruckus ZoneDirector 3000 is designed for simplicity and ease of use.
Unlike conventional wireless LAN systems that are costly, complex and cumbersome to deploy, the ZoneDirector 3000 is ideal for any enterprise that requires a high-performance wireless LAN that can be easily deployed and managed.
The ZoneDirector 3000 integrates the Ruckus Smart/OS application engine that delivers advanced features such as smart wireless meshing, hot spot authentication, elegant guest networking and dynamic Wi-Fi security.
The Ruckus ZoneDirector 3000 can be deployed and operated by non-wireless experts and installed quickly and easily. Any organization with limited IT staff and budget can create a robust and secure multimedia WLAN in a matter of minutes.
The Ruckus ZoneDirector easily integrates with network, security and authentication infrastructure already in place and is easily confi gured through a point-and-click web wizard. Ruckus ZoneFlex APs automatically discover and are confi gured by the ZoneDirector.
Redundant and secure, the Ruckus ZoneDirector provides
WLAN-wide network, security, RF and location management within a single, easy-to-use and affordable WLAN system.

Simple to Deploy
The Ruckus ZoneDirector integrates seamlessly with existing switches, fi rewalls, authentication servers and other network infrastructure. The
ZoneDirector can be placed within any Layer 2/3 network. All Ruckus
ZoneFlex APs (wired or meshed) then automatically discover the Ruckus
ZoneDirector, self confi gure and become instantly manageable.
Simple to Manage
Once up and running the ZoneDirector automatically manages the
ZoneFlex network of APs – automatically adjusting transmit power levels and RF channel assignments as needed, to prevent adjacent APs from interfering and enable redundant coverage in the event of an AP failure. Confi guration changes can easily be applied to multiple APs, or the entire system, simultaneously. A customizable dashboard provides instant access to a variety of client and network information and events, and a real-time heat map displays AP locations and signal coverage, as well as your Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking topology.
ZoneDirector Smart WLAN systems integrate a unique performance utility from Ruckus called SpeedFlex ™ . Ruckus SpeedFlex allows administrators to locally or remotely determine client Wi-Fi performance over the wireless LAN. With SpeedFlex, administrators can now better plan, troubleshoot, monitor and measure WLAN performance, eliminating the need to use Internet-based speed tools that often provide inaccurate results of the local Wi-Fi environment.
Simple to Secure
The ZoneDirector 3000 provides innovative new techniques that simplify and automate Wi-Fi security. In addition to enterprise-class 802.1x support and dynamic VLAN assignment capabilities, the ZoneDirector
3000 supports a patent-pending Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (PSK) capability that streamlines WLAN security.

ZoneDirector 3000
Centralized Enterprise Smart WLAN Controller
The ZoneDirector 3000 provides a detail map view that lets administrators quickly see the Wi-Fi network topology for all ZoneFlex
Smart Wi-Fi access points.
First-time users plug their computers into the LAN and specify a URL that directs them to a captive web portal for a one-time authentication. After successful authentication, the
ZoneDirector automatically confi gures the client system with the designated SSID and a dynamically-generated encryption key. The key is bound to the client, and can be removed upon expiration when the user or the user’s device is no longer trusted.
The Ruckus ZoneDirector centralizes authentication and authorization decisions for all APs, providing secure admission control across the WLAN. It works with any backend authentication database such as RADIUS and ActiveDirectory and also comes with an internal authentication database. Additionally, clients can be dynamically assigned to a VLAN based on their
RADIUS attributes.
Smart Mesh Networking Increases Flexibility, Reduces Costs
Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking enables self-organizing and selfhealing WLAN deployment. It eliminates the need to run Ethernet cables to every AP, allowing administrators to simply plug in
ZoneFlex APs to any power source and walk away. All confi guration and management is delivered through the ZoneDirector Smart
WLAN controller. Smart meshing uses patented Smart Wi-Fi technology to extend range and control Wi-Fi signals to minimize inter-nodal hops that degrade performance and automatically adapt
Wi-Fi connections between nodes to maintain ultra high reliability.
Avoid Interference, Maximize Performance and
Extend Reach with BeamFlex
Ruckus BeamFlex ™ , a patented Wi-Fi beam-steering technology, ensures predictable performance for multimedia traffi c applications and extends range to eliminate Wi-Fi deadspots.
With ZoneDirector, the value of BeamFlex is extended beyond a single access point to the system-wide WLAN and smart wireless meshing.
The ZoneDirector automatically controls the channel assignments and transmit power of all ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs. And with BeamFlex, the ZoneFlex system continuously picks the best path for every packet, to both clients outside the network and mesh APs inside the network, automatically avoiding interference, to guarantee the highest quality of service.
SpeedFlex ™ is a unique wireless performance test tool integrated within the ZoneFlex ™ family of centralized controllers that measures the Wi-Fi throughput of associated wireless LAN clients.
