Managing Pending AP Assets

The Pending Assets page in RUCKUS One allows you to view your list of purchased Access Points (APs) that are not yet claimed. For each AP, you may claim (effectively adding the AP to a venue managed by your account), hide (stopping the AP from appearing in the displayed list), or do nothing (leaving the AP in the list of Pending Assets). The option to hide devices allows you to proactively control the display of purchased RUCKUS devices that you do not plan to manage with RUCKUS One.
Complete the following steps to view, claim, and hide Pending Assets in your RUCKUS One account:
  1. From the navigation bar, select Administration > Account Management > Pending Assets.
    The Pending Assets page is displayed.
  2. On the AP sub-tab, review the following details:
    • Serial #
    • Model
    • Ship Date
    • Created Date
    • Visibility

    You can use the Search option to display only the entries matching a specific Serial # or Model. Additionally, you can filter the list by selecting a model from the Model drop-down or by choosing a date range from the Created Date calendar. The available date options are Last 24 Hours, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, and All Time. The Clear Filters option appears when a Serial #, Model, or the Show Hidden Devices checkbox is selected. Click Clear Filters to remove the applied filters. The Created Date filter then resets to All Time if it was changed to another date option.

    You can customize which fields appear in the AP table by clicking the icon and selecting or deselecting the desired column names. Optionally, you can click Reset to default to restore the default subset of columns.

  3. Claim one or more devices by clicking the associated checkbox(es) and then clicking Claim Device.
    Note: You can claim up to 256 devices at a time.
    The Claim Device sidebar is displayed.
