Initial Setup

Perform the initial setup depending on your deployment scenario.

The M510 can be connected to WAN via LTE or via Ethernet (with the LTE connection as a backup for WAN failover).

If the AP detects both methods are available, Ethernet will have higher priority over LTE. When the Ethernet WAN link goes down, LTE will take over. If the WAN Ethernet port is not connected, the LTE interface will be the default uplink.

If you are using Ethernet as the primary WAN link with LTE as a backup, perform the tasks below with one extra step: connect an Ethernet cable to your local network, and conﬁgure that port as the WAN port.

Attach the two LTE antennas and (optionally) the GPS antenna, and perform the initial setup according to your deployment scenario:

•Standalone AP

•Manual Controller Discovery

•Cloud Managed AP

Standalone AP Initial Setup

To perform initial setup to run the AP in standalone mode:

1.Plug an activated SIM card into the primary slot, and optionally, a second SIM card into secondary slot for redundancy.

FIGURE 2 Rotate SIM card cover, and insert SIM card(s)

2.Connect the M510 to a 12V DC power source. Two DC power options are available: barrel connector for power supply accessory, or terminal block.

3.After bootup, the AP starts to broadcast a "Conﬁgure.Me" SSID.

4.Connect to the "Conﬁgure.Me" SSID and point a web browser to the AP's default IP address (default: 192.168.0.1).

NOTE: If LTE service does not come up, you may need to check with the LTE service provider and enter the APN settings in the AP conﬁguration.

5.Log into the AP using the default login credentials (default: super/sp-admin) to conﬁgure a new username and password, WLAN settings, and any other settings as needed.

Initial Setup - Manual Controller Discovery

The M510 can be conﬁgured for manual controller discovery using the following procedure:

1.Perform the LTE and power connection tasks as in the standalone AP initial setup procedure.

2.The LTE module connects to cellular network, and the AP starts to broadcast a "Conﬁgure.Me" SSID.

3.Connect to the "Conﬁgure.Me" SSID and point a web browser to the AP's default IP address.

4.Log into the AP using the default login credentials to conﬁgure controller discovery settings.

5.Enter the public IP address of the controller.

6.The AP discovers the controller, downloads controllercompatible ﬁrmware to the AP, and then the AP reboots as a controller-managed AP.

Initial Setup - Cloud Managed AP

Before deployment, the admin creates an entry in the AP registrar for a speciﬁc M510 unit and controller.

NOTE: The AP registrar does not apply only to Ruckus Cloud-managed APs. SmartZone discovery can also be achieved with AP registrar.

1.Perform the LTE and power connection tasks as in the standalone AP initial setup procedure.

2.Connect to the "Conﬁgure.Me" SSID and point a web browser to the AP's default IP address.

3.Log into the AP using the default login credentials to enable cloud controller discovery.

4.The AP contacts the AP registrar and retrieves the IP address of the controller.

5.The AP discovers the controller, the controller pushes new ﬁrmware to the AP, and the AP reboots as a controllermanaged AP.

Mounting Instructions

Mounting on a Flat Surface

1.Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this Quick Setup Guide as a template to mark the locations for drill holes on the mounting surface.

2.Use a 5mm drill bit to drill holes approximately 25mm into the mounting surface.

3.Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the mounting surface, leaving approximately 1/4” (6 mm) of the screw heads protruding for the AP enclosure.

4.To remove the AP, insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the top of the AP to unlock, then push the AP up to release the AP enclosure from the mounting screws.

Mounting on a Recessed Drop-Ceiling T-Bar

NOTE: This mounting bracket can also be used on a ﬂush drop-ceiling T-bar, so the four rubber feet on the bottom of the AP minimize ceiling tile displacement.

The enclosed T-bar bracket supports mounting to recessed drop ceiling T-bars.

To mount the AP using the external T-bar bracket:

1.Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (B) in the mounting holes on the AP enclosure (A), and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in the narrow parts of the AP mounting keyholes. The mounting bracket locks in place on the AP enclosure.

FIGURE 4 Attaching the external bracket to the AP

2.Attach the locking tab (C) to one side of the T-bar and the bracket (B) to the other side of the T-bar.

3.Slide the locking tab (C) into the bracket (B) so that it locks in place around the T-bar. Make sure that both clasps are gripping the T-bar.

FIGURE 5 Attaching the external bracket to the T-bar

Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar

1.Move the ceiling tiles out of the way.

2.Slide the locking tab away from the T-bar to release the AP-bracket assembly from the T-bar.

3.The AP bracket assembly comes away from the T-bar.
