Here is the method to convert a Ruckus Unleashed AP to one which can be managed by a Ruckus ZoneDirector controller:
- Login to https://support.ruckuswireless.com/
- Click "Downloads"
- Choose the correct product, e.g. Ruckus R550
- Choose a "standalone" version along the lines of 118.2.0.0.875.bl7 or something similar
- Agree to terms and download the software
- Connect to the AP's IP address
- It should open the setup wizard, showing "Unleashed Installation"
- Click "Local Upgrade"
- Choose the firmware image file you just downloaded
- It will upload, process, and then be ready for upgrade when you click "Yes"
- After this, the ZD should detect the new AP
- The new AP will then need to be approved
- The new AP will then be upgraded to the correct software by the ZD
- The new AP will then reboot and should be ready to use
- Don't forget that, for the ZD to even detect, let alone manage the new AP, it must have enough licenses
