MediaFlex™
MediaFlex™
MediaFlex™ is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s family of purpose-built, multimedia WiFi appliances that enable
reliable wireless distribution of entertainment-quality, real-time media applications throughout the home.
Media applications require consistent and uninterrupted bandwidth; however most wireless LANs
(WLANs) cannot provide consistent service because of the variable nature of the wireless medium.
Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s new, patent-pending Multicast TV-over-WLAN (TVoWLAN) technology
differentiates multicast video frames from general multicast and broadcast traffic to provide robust wireless
transport for IPTV streams—from the broadband gateway to the set top boxes.
To mitigate the performance impact of concurrent applications and interfering devices in a shared medium
network, MediaFlex integrates the Ruckus Wireless new, patent-pending Media Quality of Service (QoS)
technology to automatically classify video traffic and prioritize transmissions among applications.
BeamFlex™
BeamFlex™ is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s patent-pending antenna technology that allows wireless signals to
navigate around interference, extend wireless signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for 802.11b/g
wireless networks. The BeamFlex™ antenna system consists of an array of six high-gain directional antenna
elements, that allow the 2825 to find quality signal paths in a changing environment, and sustain the baseline
performance required for supporting data, audio and video applications.
Key Features
BeamFlex™ Smart MIMO Antenna Maximizes Wireless Range and Performance
• Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) technology supports real time learning of Radio Frequency, station, network
and application conditions.
• On-the-fly adaptation to each receiving device in response to environmental changes such as interference
to maximize signal quality, data rate and minimize packet errors and retransmissions.
• Internal driver software controls an antenna array with 6 high-gain, directional antenna elements that
combine to form 63 unique antenna combinations.
• Expert system 802.11 driver controls data rate and retransmission policies on a per-packet basis.
Media QoS Ensures Highest Video Quality
• Automatic traffic classification and Type-of-Service (TOS) tagging eliminates complex QoS
configurations.
• Priority queuing for voice, video, best-effort and background traffic, per WiFi Alliance WiFi Multimedia
(WMM) specifications.
• Strict priority with short (2 frames) hardware queue depth to ensure rapid feedback from the remote AP.

release).
Placement Guidelines
The Ruckus MediaFlex Router will automatically adjust, within limits, to room conditions. You can achieve
better signal reception by following the below placement guidelines:
Establishing a good general location
Your 2825 should be placed:
• Near the center of the room, if possible.
• On a shelf or other elevated location where other wireless networking devices are within line-of-sight
access.
• Away from other sources of electromagnetic interference (for example, microwave ovens, and cordless
phones).
• Away from large metal surfaces, pictures or mirrors, metal bookcases, displays, racks, etc..
• Away from large furniture or other physical obstructions, particularly metallic materials.
Using the Signal Quality LED to Fine-Tune the Placement
Wireless environments are sensitive to the physical arrangement of both electronic devices and furniture in
a room. You can observe the Signal Quality Indicator LED to determine the best location. The Signal Quality
indicator LED is described in Table 2— “LED Indicators and Meanings” on page 13.
Refer to the troubleshooting section on page 19 if video quality deteriorates after an installation.
If “Minimum Acceptable” or “Marginally Acceptable,” air quality is indicated, you can adjust the location
of the 2825 and other devices until a steady green LED indicates “good” signal quality.

What is Auto Provisioning?
What is Auto Provisioning?
Using auto provisioning, either a service provider or home user can synchronize configuration parameters
between the 2111 and the 2825.
In order for the adapter to communicate with the AP, the 2111 must have the same wireless settings (such
as SSID, security mode, and passphrase) as the 2825. With auto provisioning, the adapter can obtain these
settings without the need to use a PC for configurtation.
The auto provisioning method is very simple. You simply connect the 2111 to the 2825, and with the proper
settings, all of the relevant parameters of the 2111 are securely sent to the 2825.
Performing Auto Provisioning
To perform auto provisioning, perform the following steps:
1. The adapter must be in factory default mode. If the adapter is not in factory default mode, use a pin to depress
the reset button (for more than 7-8 seconds) on the back of the adapter to set it to factory default
2. When the adapter is in default mode, the right two LEDs (Wireless Device Association and the Signal Quality
LED) should be blinking in unison. This indicates that the adapter is in factory default mode, and is waiting
to be Auto Provisioned.
3. The 2825 should be in operation (with the appropriate wireless settings—SSID, security mode, and
passphrase)
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to any of the ports of the 2825 (WAN port or any of the LAN ports). The 2825 may
be connected (wired or wireless) to other devices, and video can be streamed. The other end of the Ethernet
cable should be connected to a powered-up 2111.
5. Observe the Wireless Device Association and the Signal Quality LEDs of the 2111. These LEDs should
continue to blink in unison.
6. The auto provisioning process will take between 5 to 15 seconds. At the end of this process, these two LEDs
should turn off
7. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the 2111. The 2111 will reboot automatically.
8. Be sure that the 2111 is rebooting by checking the three right most LEDs.
9. If the 2825 and the 2111 are correctly auto provisioned and associated, the right two LEDs of the 2111 should
show constant green.
2825 Parameters Included in Auto Provisioning
The following 2825 parameters are synched over to the Adapter at the completion of the auto
provisioning stage (Table 20):
