You can. Just need to reset it and load standalone image to it. It is very old AP, but still it works reliably...

And switch ports are managable.

Hi saleem_ankeer,

you just need to connect to GUI (best to factory reset AP first) and then upload a solo version from our support portal, with this link

Thanks.

David.

1. reset AP to factory (press reset button for 10 secs, when AP is up for a few minutes).

2. Cobbect PC with IP 192.168.0.100 to it port.

2. Connect to AP through web interface on default IP 192.168.0.1 with username: super

password: sp-admin

Check what is the firmware version on AP. If it is 3.x.x it's SCG version, if 8.x, 9.x or similar, than ZD version. In principle, it doesn't matter much -- you can disable management services (so AP doesn't try to find controllers) and configure SSID as it is.

You can also find on Ruckus support site newest standalone firmware for this AP, and load it (under administration there will be option to upgrade firmware from local file.

Standalone software is available in all AP pack https://support.ruckuswireless.com/software/709-standalone-ap-software-100-1-0-0-194-all-aps

I think this was the latest, but anyway, there is no much difference in features, as standalone mainly is used to convert AP to ZD, SCG or Unleashed versions.

And by the way, recommended by David Solo 104 version doesn't support ZD7055, so don't try to use it...

I am not sure if the 100.1 is the latest, but at least it's one of the last supporting this old AP. It is always mentioned in release notes for the version, what APs are supported. Never try to load wrong model firmware to AP -- in the best case upgrade will fail, in the worst you'll brick the AP.
