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

firewall ports, proper DNS resolution, NTP connections to happen in sequence so that the
APs can connect with the Cloud.
