RUCKUS One AP Cloud Discovery

RUCKUS APs with RUCKUS Solo Access Point software are primed for Cloud discovery. This section provides detailed information on how an access point goes through the complete process of discovering Cloud to become a Cloud-managed AP. You must follow the procedure for adding an AP first, allowing firewall ports, proper DNS resolution, NTP connections to happen in sequence so that the APs can connect with the Cloud.

Adding an AP

  1. On the navigation bar, click Wi-Fi > Access Points > Access Point List.
  2. Click Add and select AP from the menu.
  3. Complete the following fields to add an AP:
    • Venue: Select the venue from the drop-down to which you want to deploy this AP.
    • AP Group: Select an AP Group from the drop-down to which you want to add this AP.
    • AP Name: Type a name for the AP. We recommend that you use the AP model number or another name that helps you identify this AP.
    • Serial Number: Type the 12-digit serial number of the AP.
    • Description: (Optional) Add a brief description of the AP.
    • GPS coordinates: (Optional) Add GPS coordinates for the AP.

    Adding AP

    After the AP has been added, the information is made available in the Cloud controller and the AP registrar. The AP registrar is a software service in the Cloud that registers the AP with the Cloud controller for the first time. The AP registrar points the AP towards the proper Cloud controller address.
