H320 Access Point

Quick Setup Guide

This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up your Ruckus Wireless H320 Dual Band 802.11ac Wave 2 Wall Switch Access Point. After completing the steps described in this guide, you will be able to access the Access Point (AP) and begin providing wired and wireless network access to users.

The H320 has many options:

• It can be mounted on a standard USA- or EU-style singlegang wall outlet box.

• Provides two stream, dual-band 11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi (5 GHz 2x2:2; 2.4 GHz - 1x1:1).

• Includes one 10/100/1000 uplink port and two 10/100 access ports.

• It can be powered by a customer-supplied IEEE 802.3af- or

802.3at-compliant PoE switch or injector.

Note: The H320 does NOT support Mesh.

Note: The H320 requires Ruckus Wireless base image 106.1

firmware or later. Managed H320 deployments require SmartZone 3.5.x or later, or ZoneDirector (ZD) 10.0.x or later.

STEP 3: PREPARING YOUR COMPUTER FOR H320

ETUP

Note: The following procedures assume that Windows 7 is the

operating system. Procedures for other OS’s are similar.

1 On your Windows 7 computer, configure your network

adapter from the Local Area Connection settings as follows:

• Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings

2 Edit the TCP/IPv4 address settings as follows:

• Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties

The Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box appears.

Important! Write down all of the currently active settings so you can restore your computer to its current configuration later, when this process is complete.

Select Use the following IP address (if it is not already selected) and then make the following entries:

• IP address: 192.168.0.22 (or any available address in the

192.168.0.x network, except 192.168.0.1)

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

Leave the DNS server fields empty.

4 Click OK to save your changes.

Your changes are put into effect immediately.

STEP 4: LOGGING INTO THE H320 ACCESS POINT

As specified in Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for H320 Setup, the H320 should be directly connected to your computer (through the PoE In Ethernet port on the back of the H320) and powered on, ready for setup.

1 On your computer, open a Web browser window.

2 In the browser, type this URL to connect to the H320:

https://192.168.0.1

3 Press <Enter> to initiate the connection. When a security alert

dialog box appears, click OK/Yes to proceed.

4 When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page appears, enter

the following:

• Username: super

• Password: sp-admin

5 Click Login.

STEP 5: CUSTOMIZING THE WIRELESS SETTINGS

Default H320 Access Point Settings (for your reference)

Network Names (SSIDs) Wireless1-Wireless8 (2.4GHz

radio) Wireless9-Wireless16 (5GHz radio)

Security (Encryption method) Disabled for each wireless

interface

Default Management IP Address

1 On the Web interface menu, click Configuration > Radio

2.4G or Configuration > Radio 5G. The Configure >

Wireless > Common page appears.

2 Verify that the following options are active:

• Channel: SmartSelect.

• Country Code: If you are not located in the United States

of America, select your current country.

3 Click Update Settings if you made any changes.

4 Click any of the “Wireless #” (Wireless LAN Number) tabs at

the top of the page.

5 In Wireless Availability, click Enabled.

6 Delete the text in the SSID field, then type a name for your net-

work that will help your users identify the H320 access point in their wireless network connection applications.

7 Click Update Settings to save your changes.

8 Repeat Steps 4-7 for each Wireless # (Wireless LAN Number)

interface that you want to enable.

9 Click Logout to exit the Web interface.

Optional: In a default configuration, the H320 uses a DHCP-

assigned IP address.

If you anticipate logging into the H320 regularly to perform monitoring or maintenance once it is in place, then you may want to consider switching from DHCP and instead assigning a static IP address to the H320.

A. On the menu, click Configuration > Internet. B. Click the Static IP option. C. Fill in the IP Address and Mask fields. D. Click Update Settings to save your changes.

10 When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page reappears, you

can exit your browser.

11 Disconnect the H320 from the computer and from the power

source, and then restore your computer to its original network connection configuration.

Continue with Step 6: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to an Outlet

Box.

STEP 6: ATTACHING THE MOUNTING BRACKET TO

AN OUTLET BOX

Figure 3: Mounting bracket

1 Use either the original wall outlet box screws or the factory-

supplied 1” Phillips pan head machine screws to attach the H320 mounting bracket to a single-gang wall outlet box.

Note: The H320 mounting bracket has four hooks that face UP. Make sure that the hooks are facing up when attaching the mounting bracket to the wall outlet box.

2 Pull the uplink Ethernet cable for the H320 through the wall

outlet box.

3 When you have extra bypass cables (one or two) that are to

bypass the H320, pull them through the wall outlet box.

Note: The bypass cables can be Ethernet, coax, or any other type of cable, as required.

4 Drape the bypass cables across one of the upper hooks on

either side of the mounting bracket.

5 Continue with Step 7: Attaching the H320 to the Mounting

Bracket.
