MediaFlex™
MediaFlex™
MediaFlex™ is Ruckus Wireless, Inc.’s family of purpose-built, multimedia WiFi devices 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 802.11n
wireless networks. The BeamFlex™ antenna system consists of an array of six high-gain directional antenna
elements, that allow the 7811 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
• Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (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.

Placement Guidelines
Placement Guidelines
The Ruckus Wireless MediaFlex 7811 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 7811 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 1— “LED Indicators and Meanings” on page 7.
Refer to the troubleshooting section on page 14 if video quality deteriorates after an installation.
If “Minimum Acceptable” or “Marginally Acceptable,” air quality is indicated, you can adjust the location
of the 7811 and other devices until a steady green LED indicates “good” signal quality.
Connecting and Configuring the 7811
If it has not been already configured, you must configure your 7811 to work within your home network. Read

Access Control Table Columns
The Access Control Table contains the following columns:
•Address: six text boxes appear in which you enter the desired MAC address, in hexadecimal digit form,
two characters in each box. You can specify a full 12-hex-digit MAC address or enter "wildcard"
characters for "don't care" digits. Allowable hex-digit characters are 0-9, a-f, and A-F. Most address-tags
and software where you find MAC addresses listed include colons or dashes to separate the address-pairs;
that is provided for you on the Web page, so do not enter the colons or dashes. The wildcard characters
are "x", "X" and blank (space character). Wildcards are useful when you want to specify all MAC
addresses from a given manufacturer. Thus for example, by specifying only the Organizationally Unique
Identifier (the first six hexadecimal digits of any MAC address from that manufacturer is its OUI) saves
you having to enter all 24 million of them (the table size is limited in the AP/Router to 128 entries). Some
manufacturers produce devices using more than one OUI, in which case you may need to enter each
applicable one.
•Remove: Check the 'Remove' box for any row(s) you no longer want used.

The AP/Router "knows" the MAC addresses of devices in the local network and this information can be
shown by clicking the "Show locally-known MAC addresses" link. It will disappear when you click "Hide
locally-known MAC addresses". By default, the "Remove" box is checked in each of these. Un-check it for
those devices you want included in the table. When you click Update, only entries in the table whose

What is Auto Provisioning?
3. Connect the CAT5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer, and to the Ethernet port on the 7111.
4. On your PC, open a browser window.
5. Upon login, check the Status :: Wireless page to verify that the wireless status is up. If the status is down,
then you have a connection problem between the 7811 and the 7111. You may need to reset the unit to factory
defaults and perform auto provisioning with the 7811.
6. If necessary, reset the 7111 to its factory defaults. Press and hold the Reset button on the device for at least
eight (8) seconds.
7. Repeat the auto provisioning steps by referring to Performing Auto Provisioning on page 62.
What is Auto Provisioning?
Using auto provisioning, you can synchronize wireless settings between the 7111 and the 7811.
In order for the adapter to communicate with the AP, the 7111 must have the same wireless settings (such
as SSID, security mode, and passphrase) as the 7811. 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 7111 to the 7811, and all of the
wireless settings of the 7811 are securely sent to the 7111.
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 at least 8 seconds) on the back of the adapter to set it to factory defaults.
2. When the adapter is in default mode, the right two LEDs (Wireless Device Association and the Signal
Quality) should be blinking in unison. This indicates that the adapter is in factory default mode and is waiting
to be auto provisioned.
3. The 7811 should be powered on.
4. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the 7811 (any port) to the 7111’s Ethernet port.
5. Observe the Wireless Device Association and the Signal Quality LEDs of the 7111. 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 7111. The 7111 will reboot automatically. Be sure that the 7111 is
rebooting by checking the three right most LEDs.
8. If the 7811 and the 7111 are correctly auto provisioned and associated, the right two LEDs of the 7111 should
show constant green.
