Unleashed setup without wifi?

unknown

I am starting to need to setup some Ruckus "Unleashed" units remotely. I have VPN access into the location where the setup happens, and in the past I was able to simply setup a DHCP server, plug in all the Ruckus units, connect to the web interface and configure away.

It seems like somewhere along the line, the ability to configure from the LAN side went away and the only option to setup is to connect via wifi. There must be some method I'm missing to connect from the LAN side and continue the setup... It would be a serious PITA going forward if I had to either go onsite or walk a non-tech user through the setup wizard when I'm already set for remote access...

Nope... Must use the default SSID to setup an Unleashed network the first time, cannot be done remotely.

Any particular reason why setup is not allowed via the LAN side? It's totally not convenient for remote setup.

Is there a feature/enhancement request section of the forum? If not maybe one can be created. I had not thought of this problem but I do feel as though LAN setup should be available.

No, not from Forums. Feature Requests should be discussed with your local Ruckus SE, to submit on your behalf to the Product Line Managers who oversee design decisions.

I don't have an SE, nor a paid contract of any sort. So if you care about our small amount of business, please pass this on and skip whatever bureaucracy is in place to filter such a request.

I'd also appreciate some information on why this functionality was removed and what the reasoning is for only allowing WLAN-side access.

No functionality has been removed. Initial Unleashed network setup on the first AP, has to be configured thru the default AP SSID.
All subsequent Unleashed code APs added to the LAN from then on, will be automatically recognized/upgraded (if necessary), and
configured by the initial Master AP.

Even with only guest access, you're welcome to browse the Product docs on the Support website, and here is the Unleashed page:

We're about to release version 200.2.9.13.186 that adds support for R710, T710, T710s model APs.

If you like Unleashed features/functions, you should purchase Unleashed (9U1) AP ordering part numbers.
These APs will not join existing ZoneDirector or SmartZone networks, but will auto-connect/upgrade with
*existing* Unleashed networks (after the 1st AP is configured wirelessly).

Standard ZoneFlex (901) ordering part number AP software, comes with a 104.x version of AP code, that can
join either ZoneDirector or SmartZone controllers, or operate in Solo/Standalone mode.
