MediaFlex™
MediaFlex™
MediaFlex™ is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s family of purpose-built, multimedia WiFi appliances that enable reliable wireless distribution of entertainment-quality, real-time media applications throughout the home.
Media applications require consistent and uninterrupted bandwidth; however most wireless LANs
(WLANs) cannot provide consistent service because of the variable nature of the wireless medium.
Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s new, patent-pending Multicast TV-over-WLAN (TVoWLAN) technology differentiates multicast video frames from general multicast and broadcast traffic to provide robust wireless transport for IPTV streams—from the broadband gateway to the set top boxes.
To mitigate the performance impact of concurrent applications and interfering devices in a shared medium network, MediaFlex integrates the Ruckus Wireless new, patent-pending Media Quality of Service (QoS) technology to automatically classify video traffic and prioritize transmissions among applications.
BeamFlex™
BeamFlex™ is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s patent-pending antenna technology that allows wireless signals to navigate around interference, extend wireless signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for 802.11b/g wireless networks. The BeamFlex™ antenna system consists of an array of six high-gain directional antenna elements, that allow the 2825 to find quality signal paths in a changing environment, and sustain the baseline performance required for supporting data, audio and video applications.
Key Features
BeamFlex™ Smart MIMO Antenna Maximizes Wireless Range and Performance
• Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) technology supports real time learning of Radio Frequency, station, network and application conditions.
• On-the-fly adaptation to each receiving device in response to environmental changes such as interference to maximize signal quality, data rate and minimize packet errors and retransmissions.
• Internal driver software controls an antenna array with 6 high-gain, directional antenna elements that combine to form 63 unique antenna combinations.
• Expert system 802.11 driver controls data rate and retransmission policies on a per-packet basis.
Media QoS Ensures Highest Video Quality
• Automatic traffic classification and Type-of-Service (TOS) tagging eliminates complex QoS configurations.
• Priority queuing for voice, video, best-effort and background traffic, per WiFi Alliance WiFi Multimedia
(WMM) specifications.
• Strict priority with short (2 frames) hardware queue depth to ensure rapid feedback from the remote AP.

The value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). This is a countdown field that Access Point (AP) informs its clients of the next window for listening to broadcast or multicast messages. The default value is 1.
This value indicates the maximum length of a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. In a good wireless environment, the larger the fragment, the more efficient the network operates. In a noisy environment, the threshold should be adjusted to a smaller size to minimize retransmission and increase the reliability of the transmission. The default value is 2346.
The threshold is a value that determines at what packet length the
RTS/CTS function is triggered. A lower threshold may be necessary in environment with excessive signal noise or hidden nodes; but this may result in some performance degradation. The default value is '2346'.

1. Move the Ruckus 2111 next to your computer.
2. Connect the AC power adapter to the Ruckus 2111 and plug the other end into either a power outlet or to a surge protector that is plugged into a power outlet.
3. Connect the CAT5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer, and to the Ethernet port on the
Ruckus 2111 adapter.
4. On your PC, open a browser window. Enter the default IP address of the 2111. To get the default IP address of the 2111, refer to the label on the bottom of the unit.
5. When the login screen appears, enter the user name and password that appears on the label at the bottom of the device.
6. Log in to the Status::Wireless page to verify that the wireless status is up.
7. If the status is down, then you have a connection problem between the 2825 and the 2111. You may need to reset the unit to factory defaults and perform auto provisioning with the 2825.
8. If necessary, reset the Ruckus 2111 adapter to its factory defaults
9. Press and hold the reset button for at least eight (8) seconds.
10. Repeat the auto provisioning steps by referring to Auto Provisioning on page 59.

What is Auto Provisioning?
What is Auto Provisioning?
Using auto provisioning, either a service provider or home user can synchronize configuration parameters between the 2111 and the 2825.
In order for the adapter to communicate with the AP, the 2111 must have the same wireless settings (such as SSID, security mode, and passphrase) as the 2825. With auto provisioning, the adapter can obtain these settings without the need to use a PC for configurtation.
The auto provisioning method is very simple. You simply connect the 2111 to the 2825, and with the proper settings, all of the relevant parameters of the 2111 are securely sent to the 2825.
Performing Auto Provisioning
To perform auto provisioning, perform the following steps:
1. The adapter must be in factory default mode. If the adapter is not in factory default mode, use a pin to depress the reset button (for more than 7-8 seconds) on the back of the adapter to set it to factory default
2. When the adapter is in default mode, the right two LEDs (Wireless Device Association and the Signal Quality
LED) should be blinking in unison. This indicates that the adapter is in factory default mode, and is waiting to be Auto Provisioned.
3. The 2825 should be in operation (with the appropriate wireless settings—SSID, security mode, and passphrase)
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to any of the ports of the 2825 (WAN port or any of the LAN ports). The 2825 may be connected (wired or wireless) to other devices, and video can be streamed. The other end of the Ethernet cable should be connected to a powered-up 2111.
5. Observe the Wireless Device Association and the Signal Quality LEDs of the 2111. These LEDs should continue to blink in unison.
6. The auto provisioning process will take between 5 to 15 seconds. At the end of this process, these two LEDs should turn off
7. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the 2111. The 2111 will reboot automatically.
8. Be sure that the 2111 is rebooting by checking the three right most LEDs.
9. If the 2825 and the 2111 are correctly auto provisioned and associated, the right two LEDs of the 2111 should show constant green.

Factory Reset
When the adapter is factory reset (by pressing the reset button on the back of the unit for more than 8 seconds), the auto provisioned parameters will be lost. The adapter will go back to the original parameters as provisioned from the factory. If you want to retain the parameters from the AP, you must repeat the auto provisioning process described above.
