Access Points Configuration Overview

The Access Points component provides tools for monitoring and configuring all APs at once, configuring each AP individually, or configuring multiple groups of APs with a set of common custom settings.

The Access Points component on the dashboard presents an overview of the connected and disconnected APs that are recognized by this RUCKUS Unleashed network.

The Access Points component offers two display modes:

  • Card display mode
  • Table display mode

The Access Points component offers the following options:

  • Summary AP box: Click this box to view a summary of all AP clients, signal quality, and traffic statistics.
  • Individual AP boxes: Click any of these boxes to view details specific to the indicated AP.
  • View mode: Switch between AP and AP Group views. AP mode lets you view and configure APs individually, while AP Group mode lets you create and manage AP groups. For more information, refer to Working with AP Groups.
  • Data Duration: Select the duration of time interval (10 minute, 1 hour, and 12 hours) to view the client status and traffic information of the indicated WLAN.
