This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. How-

ever, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par-

CHAPTER 1

Are You a Wi-Fi

Hotspot Operator?

Then you’ll appreciate learning about your new Ruckus Wireless hotspot access point,

before you get started.

What can a Hotspot Access Point do for you?

You’re occupying a large space, with lots of users, and you’d like to make it a Wi-Fi hotzone.

Let’s make it easy for you; there’s an active Internet connection from a local ISP (DSL, cable

or other), and you’ve got a modem—as shown here.

FIGURE 1-1

Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 2925/2942 User Guide | Are You a Wi-Fi Hotspot Operator?

Is there a switch connected to the modem? If not, you’ll need to hook one up to your

modem—as shown below.

After preparing the Ruckus Wireless AP for network use, you can place it (as shown below)

where it can broadcast the strongest signal to as many users as possible.

As the picture suggests, you should mount it high on the wall or on the ceiling.

After you mount the AP, then connect it to the switch and power it up, your hotspot/hot-

zone is ready for use—as shown below.

FIGURE 1-2

FIGURE 1-3

FIGURE 1-4

Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 2925/2942 User Guide | Are You a Wi-Fi Hotspot Operator?

Where exactly should you place the

Access Point?

After you’ve prepared the AP for network hotspot connections, you should place it in the

most strategic place in your work/business site. That means two things:

• You want the AP as “visible” as possible to as many potential users, and

• You don’t want it near anything that would impede the signal

Helpful recommendations are listed in “Placing the AP in your site” on page 15.

What you should know before starting

To install, set up and customize a new AP you must use the following:

• A desktop or laptop computer, running Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP.

You must also use one of the following Web browsers for setup:

• Internet Explorer version 6.0 and later

• Netscape version 8.1 and later

• Firefox version 1.5.0.6 and later

What’s next?

Now you can get started configuring your new Ruckus Wireless AP for use, as described in

the next chapter.

CHAPTER 2

Installation, Setup, and

Placement of the AP

This chapter describes how to set up a Ruckus Wireless Hotspot access point for use in a

Wi-Fi hotzone. This includes an important preliminary task: reconfiguring your PC/laptop to

connect to the Ruckus AP through the Web User Interface. At the conclusion of setup, this

chapter will guide you in resetting your PC for normal use, then guide you in placing and

connecting your Wireless Hotspot AP for use.

NOTE This chapter repeats the same information that you may already have read in the companion

publication Quick Setup Guide (QSG). But this chapter adds a few more technical details,

and is included for the benefit of any readers who don’t have a copy of the QSG and who

want to prepare their hotspot AP for use.
