Viewing and Managing IoT APs

The APs page provides a consolidated view of all IoT Access Points connected to the RUCKUS IoT Controller. It allows you to monitor AP status, firmware versions, and active plugins, view uptime and model details, and manage AP approvals. From this interface, you can quickly assess network health, troubleshoot connectivity, and ensure all APs are authorized and functioning correctly.

At the top of the page, you will find quick overview tiles:

  • AP Status: Displays the total number of IoT APs and their operational status (Online or Offline).
  • AP Approval Status: Shows how many IoT APs the IoT Controller has approved for use.

The main panel displays all the APs. The table includes columns such as Status, MAC ID, IP, Name, Plugins, and so on.

Complete the following steps to view and edit AP information and configurations.

  1. From the main menu, click APs.
    The APs page is displayed.

  2. (Optional) Customize the table display.
    1. Modify the order of rows displayed. Click on any column header to reorder the table rows in ascending or descending order based on that specific column’s values.
    2. Modify the number of rows displayed per page. The table defaults to displaying 10 rows of data. Below the table, you will find page display options:
      • The entries-per-page drop-down allows you to control how many rows of data are displayed per page (options include 10, 20, 50, and 100).
      • Arrow keys help you navigate between pages of data in the table when the table exceeds the entries-per-page setting.
        Note: If the arrows are greyed out, it means you are already on the first or last page and cannot move further in that direction.
      • Click the icon to choose which columns to display in the IoT APs table. By checking or unchecking boxes, you can tailor the view based on what information is relevant to you.
  3. (Optional) Click the icon in any column header. A textbox appears. Enter a filter value (for example, filter by a specific Name, IP, or Status, and so on). The table will update to display only the APs that match your filter criteria.
  4. (Optional) Configure or modify a specific IoT AP. Click on a specific IoT AP in the table list; the sidebar appears, displaying AP Info, Radio Info, and Configurable Settings. Click Apply to save all modifications that you made. Otherwise, click the icon to dismiss the sidebar without saving any changes.
  5. Click Pre-Approve APs to approve either a single or multiple IoT APs. For more information, refer to the topic Adding an IoT AP.
  6. (Optional) Filter the table content based on the level in the network hierarchy (from Entire Network down to one specific AP).

    The Network Hierarchy filter, displayed above the APs table, allows you to control or modify the scope of data displayed in the table. By default, the view is set to Entire Network, which consists of the full hierarchy containing all clusters, domains, groups, and APs. Use the drop-down list to select the specific portion of the network for which you want to display data, then click Apply.

    The page refreshes displaying only the APs matching the filter criteria.

  7. (Optional) Click the icon to download the details of the listed APs into a CSV file.
  8. (Optional) Click the icon to reload the data.
  9. (Optional) To perform additional actions, select one or more APs, or select the checkbox next to the Status column to select all APs. The toolbar displays the number of selected APs and the available options.
    Based on your objectives, click any of the following options:
