Adding a Venue

You must add a venue before you can connect your networking devices to RUCKUS One to offer Wi-Fi service. If you want to assign your access points to a venue other than the default, you can add a new venue.

Complete the following steps to add a venue.

  1. From the RUCKUS One web interface, click Venues.
    The Venues page is displayed.

    Venues Page

  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Add Venue.
    The Add New Venue page is displayed.

  3. (Required) In the Venue Name field, enter a name for the venue that you are creating.
  4. In the Description field, enter a brief description of the venue.
  5. In the Tags field, enter a tag that you can use to search the venue from the gobal search option on the RUCKUS One web interface.
  6. (Required) In the Address field, enter the address where the venue will be located.
    You can enter either a full or partial address. For example, if you enter 350 W Java Dr, the field will query all matching addresses on Google Maps and display them beneath the Address field. From the matching addresses, select the correct address.
    Note: When the country in the Address field is set to any location within the United States, the default 2.4GHz channels—1, 6, and 11—are automatically applied to the venue upon creation.
  7. Click Add.

    When RUCKUS One completes adding the venue, the Venues page displays the newly added venue in the list of venues.
