Overview

Learn how to sign up for a RUCKUS Cloud account and log on to the RUCKUS Cloud portal.

You can simplify the management of your RUCKUS Wireless APs, wireless networks, and ICX switches using the RUCKUS Cloud service.

Before You Begin

To start using the RUCKUS Cloud service, you must prepare the following:
  • At least one supported RUCKUS Wireless AP running the required AP firmware version or a RUCKUS ICX switch running supported ICX software version.
  • An existing network with Internet connection including DHCP and DNS configuration.
CAUTION: You must also make sure that no RUCKUS Wireless controllers (for example, SmartCell Gateway, SmartZone, or Unleashed) exist on the network. If the AP that you are connecting to the Cloud service detects a RUCKUS Wireless controller on the network, it will connect that controller instead of the cloud service.
