Important!

If the AP is to be managed by a Ruckus Wireless controller, then follow the controller user documents to connect the AP to your local network and configure it for initial operation. In that case, you may not need to complete the following steps.

Step 2: Collecting Setup Requirements, Hardware, and Tools

• A computer with Ethernet adapter running Windows 7 or equivalent, with Firefox or equivalent web browser.

• One Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable.

• T8 Torx screwdriver.

• An AC-to-12VDC power adapter (sold separately)

--OR-an 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector.

Step 3: Connecting Your Computer to the AP

A After removing the AP from its package, place it next to your

computer.

B Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network port to the

POE IN port on the AP.

C Connect the AC power adapter (sold separately) to the 12VDC AP

port, and plug the AC power adapter into a convenient and protected AC power source.

Alternatively, connect the POE IN port to a PoE injector or PoE switch for both power and network connectivity.

D After bootup, verify that the PWR LED on the AP is a steady green.

Step 4: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup

Note:

The following procedures assume that Windows 7 is the operating system. Procedures for other operating systems are similar.

A On your Windows 7 computer, configure your network adapter from

the Local Area Connection settings as follows:

• Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing

Center > Change Adapter Settings

B 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 when this procedure is completed.

C 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, which is the default used by the ZoneFlex R310 AP)

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Leave the DNS server and Default gateway fields empty.

D Click OK to save your changes. Your changes are put into effect

immediately.

Step 5: Logging Into the AP Web Interface

As specified in Step 4: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup, the computer should be connected to your AP through the Ethernet port and powered on, ready for setup.

A On your computer, open a Web browser window. B In the browser, enter https://192.168.0.1 to connect to the AP. C Press <Enter> to initiate the connection. When a security alert dialog

box appears, click OK/Yes to proceed.

D When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page appears, enter the

following:

• Username: super

• Password: sp-admin

E Click Login.

Step 6: Customizing the Wireless Settings

A On the AP Web interface menu, click Configuration >

Wireless > 5G or Configuration > Wireless > 2.4G. The

Configure > Wireless > Common options appear.

B Verify that the following options are active:

• Channel: SmartSelect

• Channel Width: 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz (default).

• Country Code: Select the country in which the AP will be operating.

Note:

If you purchased the AP in the United States, then this value is fixed to United States at the factory and is not user configurable. If you purchased the AP outside the United States, then verify that the value is set to your country or region. Selecting the correct country code ensures that the AP uses only the radio channels allowed in your country or region.

C Click Update Settings if you made any changes. D Click any of the eight Wireless # (Wireless LAN Number) tabs at the

top of the page.

E In Wireless Availability, click Enabled. F Delete the text in the SSID field, and then type a name for your network

that will help your users identify the AP in their wireless network connection application.

G Click Update Settings to save your changes. H If required, repeat Steps D-G for any other Wireless # (Wireless LAN

Number) interface that you want to enable.

I Click Logout to exit the Web interface. J Disconnect the AP from the computer and from the current power

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

Step 7: Placing the AP at the Site

A Move the AP to its permanent location (accessible to both AC or PoE

power and network connection).

B Use a Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable to connect your network (or PoE

injector or switch) to the POE IN port on the AP.

--OR-If you are not using an 802.3af-compliant PoE switch or PoE injector, then connect the AC power adapter to the AP, and then to a convenient power source.

C Verify that the POE IN port LED is lit.

Step 8: Verifying the Installation

A Using any wireless-enabled computer or mobile device, search for and

select the wireless network you previously configured.

B If you can connect, open a browser and link to any public Web site. Congratulations! Your wireless network is active and ready for use. If you

need to configure advanced wireless settings, such as enabling security, refer to the Ruckus Wireless Indoor AP User Guide.

INSTALLING THE AP

The AP can be mounted on a flat surface, on a drop-ceiling T-bar, or on a pole or flat surface. Refer to the following sections:

• Mounting on a Flat Surface

• Removing the AP from Flat-Surface Mounting Screws

Mounting the AP on a Flat Surface or Pole Using the Optional Secure Mounting Bracket

The customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless secure mounting bracket kit (ordering part number 902-0120-0000) includes a metal mounting bracket and provides greater security when attaching the AP to flat surfaces (walls and ceilings) and to poles.

• If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then you will also need an electric drill with a 4.75mm (3/16”) drill bit, and the four No. 6 zinc plated screws and plastic wall anchors included with the kit.

• If you are mounting the AP on a truss or pole, then you will also need the two customer-supplied stainless steel pipe clamps.

Continue with the following: A If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then use the secure

mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations for four drill holes on the mounting surface. There are four screw holes available on the secure mounting bracket.

Fasten the bracket to the flat surface using four mounting screws and plastic wall anchors and continue with Step C

B If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole, then feed the two

customer-supplied stainless steel clamps through the slots on the secure mounting bracket. Use common hand tools to tighten the clamps around the pipe or pole.

After the bracket is attached, continue with Step C

Figure 7. Attaching the AP to the secure mounting bracket

C Insert the two studs on the secure mounting bracket (A) into the
