About This Release

1

Introduction
This document provides release information on ZoneDirector release 9.13.1,
including new features, enhancements, known issues, caveats, workarounds,
upgrade details and interoperability information for version 9.13.1.
NOTE: By downloading this software and subsequently upgrading the ZoneDirector
and/or the AP to version 9.13.1, please be advised that:
• The ZoneDirector will periodically connect to Ruckus and Ruckus will collect the
ZoneDirector serial number, software version and build number. Ruckus will
transmit a file back to the ZoneDirector and this will be used to display the current
status of the ZoneDirector Support Contract.
• The AP may send a query to Ruckus containing the AP’s serial number. The
purpose is to enable your AP to autonomously connect with a wireless LAN
controller operated by your choice of cloud service provider. Ruckus may transmit
back to the AP, the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the
controller that the AP will subsequently attempt to join.
Please be advised that this information may be transferred and stored outside of your
country of residence where data protection standards may be different.

Enhancements and Resolved
Issues

3

This section lists new features and enhancements that have been added in this
release and resolved issues from previous releases.

New Access Points
• New Access Point: H510
The H510 is an 802.11ac Wave 2 dual-band concurrent WiFi Wall Switch AP
with integrated 5-port gigabit Ethernet, in a form factor designed for mounting
to electrical outlet boxes. The H510 is targeted for hospitality applications, where
it will be installed one per room for a typical hotel room.
The H510 is the successor of the H500, the main difference being that the H510
brings the benefits of “Wave 2” 802.11ac to market, including MU-MIMO, and
theoretical max speeds of up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz radio.
The H510 provides similar coverage/range as the H500 – i.e., coverage for a
single hotel room or suite. The switch ports can be used for in-room wired
applications like IPTV and/or to provide a wired alternative for guest Internet
access.

Enhancements
• Increased maximum WLAN Rate Limiting value from 50 to 200 Mbps. [ZF-15543]

Resolved Issues
• Resolved an issue where when WLAN 102 is deleted from the AP, then WLAN
100 would fail to report location data to SPoT. [ER-4201]
• Resolved an issue where Guest Access would redirect to ZoneDirector’s IP
address instead of the FQDN after upgrading from 9.12 to 9.13. [ER-4317]
• Resolved an issue where the Performance graph would display incorrectly after
the user adjusted the system time. [ER-4272]

Caveats, Limitations, and Known
Issues

4

This section lists the caveats, limitations, and known issues in this release.

Known Issues
General
• H510 APs deployed as eMesh APs (Ethernet-Linked Mesh APs) may in some
situations become disconnected from ZD due to an AP manager process failure.
[ZF-15770]
• Deploying H510 APs as eMesh APs may result in unpredictable behavior. [ZF15779]
• The 11ac radio on H510 APs is incorrectly displayed as 11an on ZoneDirector
monitoring pages. [ZF-15814]
• ZD CLI output does not properly display the complete mesh topology for twohop mesh configurations. [ZF-15686]
• SpeedFlex uplink measurements may be incorrect for Windows 7/XP clients.
[ZF-15766]
• The Monitor > Wired Clients page may display the incorrect port number
(displays LAN 4 when connected to LAN 3) for wired clients connected to H510
APs. [ZF-15740]
• Rate limiting values are always rounded up to the next supported increment, not
down to the nearest increment. [ZF-15750]
• Clients connected to a WISPr Smart Client WLAN may fail to properly log out
after clicking the Logout button when the client is behind NAT. [ZF-15785]
