•Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
•Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup
•Step 4: Logging Into the AP
•Step 5: Customizing the Wireless Settings

•Step 7: Verifying the Installation
Step 1: Collecting Setup Requirements,
Hardware, and Tools
•A computer running Windows 7 (procedures for common operating systems are similar).
•One Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable.
•A Ruckus Wireless 902-0169-xx00 AC power adapter (sold separately)
--OR--
an 802.3at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector.
Optional hardware and tools:
•Customer-supplied small padlock with a 3.5mm (0.14”) or smaller shackle, used to fasten the AP to the secure mounting bracket or the T-bar bracket.
•Customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless 902-0120-0000 secure mounting bracket kit:
•If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface using the secure mounting bracket kit, then you need an electric drill with 4.75mm (3/16”) drill bits.
•If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole using the secure mounting bracket kit, then you will also need a 38.1mm to 63.5mm (1.5" to 2.5") pipe or pole, two
included stainless steel clamps, and hand tools to tighten the clamps.
Continue with Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP.
Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
1After removing your AP from its package, place it next to your computer.
2Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network port to the 10/100/1000 POE In port on the AP (A in Figure 2).
3Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP 12VDC port (B in Figure 2) to a convenient (and protected) power source.
Alternatively, connect the 10/100/1000 POE In port to a PoE injector or switch for both power and network connectivity.

4 Verify that the PWR LED on the AP is a steady green.
Continue with Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup.
Step 3: 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.
1On 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
2Edit 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).
3Select 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.

Optional: In a default R710 AP configuration, the AP uses a DHCP-assigned IP address.
If you anticipate logging into the AP 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 AP.
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.
10When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page reappears, you can exit your browser.

Step 6: Placing the AP in Your Site
1Move the AP to its permanent location (accessible to both power and network connections). Refer to Mounting Instructions for physical installation.
2Use an Ethernet cable to connect the 10/100/1000 port to the appropriate device:
•The ISP’s or carrier’s network device --or--
•The Ethernet switch that is connected to the ISP’s or carrier’s network device.
Note: If you will be using PoE, then you will need a Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the PoE injector or PoE switch.
3Connect the AP power adapter (or PoE power supply) to the AP, and then to a convenient power source.
4Verify that the 10/100/1000 port LED is lit.
After a short pause to re-establish the Internet connection, you can test the AP. Continue with Step 7: Verifying the Installation.
Step 7: Verifying the Installation
1Using any wireless-enabled computer or mobile device, search for and select the wireless network you previously configured.
2If you can connect, open a browser and link to any public Web site.
Congratulations! Your wireless network is active and ready for use.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The AP can be mounted to a drop-ceiling T-bar, flat surface, or a pole using Ruckus Wireless AP mounting kits. Refer to the following sections:
•Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
•Mounting on a Flat Surface
•Mounting on a Flat Surface or Pole Using the Optional Secure Mounting Bracket
Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The factory-supplied T-bar mounting assembly kit allows you to attach the AP to recessed and flush drop-ceiling T-bars.
1Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (A in Figure 3) in the keyholes on the AP enclosure.
Note: There is a second set of keyholes that are for optional sideways mounting on a drop-ceiling T-bar. Physical security is not supported when mounting the AP with this set of keyholes.
2Slide the T-bar bracket away from the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the AP until the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 3) snaps into place, trapping the T-bar bracket studs in the keyholes (C in Figure 3).

3Insert the locking tab (D in Figure 3) so it is in the first position on the T-bar bracket (A in Figure 3).
4Gently push the ceiling tiles, if present, up and out of the way.
5Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of the T-bar (A in Figure 4). Make sure that both clasps are gripping the T-bar.
Note: For clarity, Figure 4 only shows the T-bar bracket and the T-bar, and does not show the AP.
