ZoneFlex Indoor Access Point 9.8.1 User Guide, 800-70601-001 Rev C 5

About This Guide

NOTE 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 (vSCG) 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. You also understand and agree that this information may be transferred and stored outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different.

This ZoneFlex Indoor Access Point 9.8.1 User Guide describes how to install, configure, and manage the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Indoor Access Point (AP). This guide is written for those responsible for installing and managing network equipment. Consequently, it assumes that the reader has basic working knowledge of local area networking, wireless networking, and wireless devices.

SNMP is enabled by default on all ZoneFlex standalone Access Points. For information on how to disable SNMP management and other network management options, refer to the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Access Point User Guides, available from the Ruckus Wireless Support website.

NOTE If release notes are shipped with your product and the information there

differs from the information in this guide, follow the instructions in the release notes.

Installing the Access Point

Before You Begin

Before starting with the installation, make sure that you have the required items for the installation ready. In addition, verify that the wireless stations on the network have the required components for wireless communication with the Access Point.

This section describes the pre-installation tasks that you need to perform:

• Prepare the Required Hardware and Tools

• Perform a Site Survey

• Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and Orientation

Prepare the Required Hardware and Tools

You must supply the following tools and equipment:

• A notebook computer running Windows (2000/XP/Vista/7) or Mac OS X with an Internet browser and one wireless 802.11a/b/g/n network card and one Ethernet card installed

• A modem (DSL or cable), router, or other device provided by your Internet Service Provider, that brings Internet access to your site

• (Optional) A network switch or a DSL/Internet gateway device.

NOTE If the AP is deployed with ZoneDirector, follow the instructions in the

ZoneDirector Quick Setup Guide and connect the AP to your Ethernet network.

Perform a Site Survey

Before installing the Access Point, perform a site survey to determine the optimal Access Point placement for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. When performing a site survey, consider the following factors:

• Data rates: Range is generally inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. Higher data rates are generally achieved at closer distances.

• Antenna type and placement: Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, radio range is increased by mounting the antennas higher off of the ground.

• Physical environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the wireless range.

ZoneFlex Indoor Access Point 9.8.1 User Guide, 800-70601-001 Rev C 77

Installing the Access Point

Before You Begin

• Obstructions, building materials, and sources of interference: Physical obstruc- tions, such as concrete pillars, steel beams and filing cabinets can block or hinder wireless communication. Avoid installing the Access Point in a location where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices. A number of machines and electronic devices that emit radio waves – cranes, wireless phones, microwave ovens, satellite dishes – interfere with and block wireless signals. Building materials used in construction also influence radio signal penetration. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks.

For more Access Point placement guidelines, refer to Determine the Optimal

Mounting Location and Orientation.

Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and Orientation

The location and orientation that you choose for the Access Point play a critical role in the performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends installing the Access Point away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring that the top of the Access Point is pointing in the general direction of its wireless clients.

The recommended orientation differs slightly depending on the Access Point model. Refer to the following sections according to your particular model:

• ZoneFlex 7962 Orientation

• ZoneFlex R300, 7982, 7372, 7352, 7351, 7363, 7343, 7341 and 7321

Installing the Access Point

Step 2: Verify Access Point Operation

Check the TR069 Status (FlexMaster Management Only)

If you configured the Access Point to report to a FlexMaster server on the network, make sure you verify that it can successfully communicate with the FlexMaster server. You can do this by checking the TR069 status on the Access Point’s Web interface.

1 Log in to the Access Point’s Web interface.

2 Go to the Administration > Management page.

3 Scroll down to the TR069 Status section.

4 Check the value for Last successful contact. If it shows a date in green, this

indicates that the Access Point was able to successfully communicate with FlexMaster.

Disconnect the Access Point from the Network

1 Disconnect the Access Point from the power source.

2 Disconnect the Ethernet cable that runs to the Access Point’s RJ45 port from

your network’s router or switch.

You are now ready to deploy the Access Point to its permanent mounting location.

Installing the Access Point

Step 3: Deploy the Access Point

In this step, you place the Access Point in a suitable location on the network and connect it to a power source and to your network environment. Continue with the following:

• 1. Choose a Location for the Access Point

• 2. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source and the Network

1. Choose a Location for the Access Point

You can install the Access Point on a flat surface (for example, on a desktop or tabletop) or mount it on a wall or ceiling. When choosing a location for the Access Point, ensure that the location:

• Allows easy viewing of the LEDs and access to the connectors, if necessary.

• Is centrally located to the wireless clients that are connecting to the Access Point. A suitable location might be on top of a cabinet or similar furniture to optimize wireless connections to clients in both horizontal and vertical directions, allowing wider coverage.

When positioning your Access Point, ensure that:

• It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

• Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.

• There are no thick walls or metal shielding between the Access Point and the wireless stations.

• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

• Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.

Review the recommendations in “Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and

Orientation” on page 78 for help in choosing a suitable location for the Access Point.

Installing the Access Point

Step 3: Deploy the Access Point

2. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source and the

Network

Once you have placed the Access Point at its installation location, you are ready to connect it to a power source and the network.

NOTE If your ZoneFlex model supports PoE, you can also supply power to the AP

from a PoE switch or injector. For information on how to make the PoE connections, refer to the documentation that was shipped with the PoE switch or injector.

CAUTION! If you are using PoE, you must use a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable for

the PoE connection.

1 Connect the power jack to the power connector on the rear panel of your

ZoneFlex Access Point.

2 Connect the power adapter to a power source.

3 Obtain an Ethernet cable that is long enough to connect the Access Point to

your network’s router, switch, or hub.

4 Connect one end to a LAN port on the AP, and then connect the other end to

your network’s router, switch, or hub.

5 Verify that the power LED on the Access Point is green.

Congratulations! You have completed setting up the Access Point on your network. To learn how to configure and manage the Access Point, continue reading the next chapters.

Installing the Access Point

Troubleshooting Installation

If the startup sequence does not work, verify that the network name (SSID) and security settings (if you enabled them) on the AP match the settings on your wireless device.

• Disconnect the AP from the power source, wait 5 seconds, reconnect it, and then wait 60 seconds before attempting a reconnection.

• Disconnect and reconnect the AP and the PC.

• Replace the Ethernet cable with a new one if the relevant LAN port LED is not illuminated. (LEDs in each port light up during a successful connection.)

If all else fails, you can reset the AP to its factory defaults (and start over).

1 Insert a straightened-out paper clip into the reset button hole.

2 Press and hold the Reset button for at least eight (6) seconds.

You can now reconnect your computer directly to the AP (as described in “2.

Connect the Access Point to the Administrative Computer” on page 86), and then

start over with installation, using the default network settings.

ZoneFlex 7055 Physical Installation

This section describes the physical installation instructions for mounting the ZoneFlex 7055 to an electrical outlet box.

CAUTION! The AP and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors

within the same building, including the PoE powered network connection as described by Environment A of the 802.3af standard.

CAUTION! Ensure that you use a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable to supply PoE

power and LAN connectivity running to the outlet box where the AP will be installed.

1 Prepare the electrical outlet box.

2 The ZoneFlex 7055 can be mounted to a variety of commonly used electrical

outlet box formats, including US style outlet boxes conforming to NEMA-WD6, and EU style outlet boxes conforming to BS 4662.

NOTE The ZoneFlex 7055 comes with a bracket for a single 1-gang electrical

outlet box. For adjacent outlet boxes, use the optional Ruckus Wireless ZF7055 adjacent wall bracket kit (part number 902-0111-000).

• Remove the outlet box cover from the outlet box, retaining the original box

cover screws.

• Align the mounting bracket with the outlet box so that the screw holes line

up (the bracket provides multiple holes for different outlet box designs), and

• pull the Ethernet cable through the center of the mounting bracket.

• Affix the mounting bracket to the outlet box using the original outlet box cover

screws. If the original outlet box screw heads extend over 2mm from the bracket, then use the enclosed low profile mounting screws instead.

• Run the required cables through the electrical outlet box allowing sufficient

slack for the cables to reach the not yet installed ZoneFlex 7055.

3 Connect the cables.

• Connect an Ethernet cable providing PoE power and network connectivity

to the PoE In LAN / Uplink port using either a standard RJ45 connector or the 110 punch-down block (refer to “Using the 110 Punch down Block” on

page 102).

• If PoE power is not available, the AP can be powered using an optional DC

power adapter (Ruckus part #902-0170-XX10, sold separately)
