About This Guide

By downloading this software and subsequently upgrading Ruckus Wireless APs to base image 100.x and later, please be advised that:

• The ZoneDirector periodically connects to Ruckus and Ruckus collects the ZoneDirector serial number, software version and build number. Ruckus transmits a file back to the ZoneDirector and this is used to display the current status of the ZoneDirector Support Contract.

• The AP may send a query to Ruckus containing the AP’s serial number. This allows your AP to autonomously connect with a wireless LAN controller operated by your choice of cloud service provider. Ruckus may transmit the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the controller that the AP will subsequently attempt to join back to the AP.

• Please be advised that this information may be transferred and stored outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different.

This guide describes how to configure and manage Release 100.1.0 Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Points (APs). This guide is written for those responsible for managing network equipment. Consequently, it assumes that the reader has basic working knowledge of local area networking, wireless networking, and wireless devices.

NOTE This guide assumes that the Ruckus Wireless Outdoor APs have already

been installed as described in the corresponding Mounting Guide, Installation Guide or Getting Started Guide. Refer to the Mounting Guide, Installation Guide or Getting Started Guide that shipped with your product for model-specific instructions.

NOTE If release notes are available for your product and the information there

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

Safety Warnings

WARNING! Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install,

replace, or service this equipment. The professional installer is responsible for the proper installation and configuration of this AP. The AP installation must comply with local regulatory requirements, especially with those regulating operation near military and/or weather radar systems.

WARNING! Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national

electrical codes.

WARNING! Do not operate your wireless device near unshielded blasting caps or

in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.

WARNING! In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits,

antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.

WARNING! Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear eye protection

before mounting the AP.

CAUTION! Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip loop in any cable

that is attached to the AP or the building. This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering the AP or the building where the cable terminates.

CAUTION! Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national

electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.

NOTE Allowable external antenna types and antenna gains may be limited by local

regulatory requirements.

Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 10

Overview of the Ruckus Wireless AP

Congratulations on your purchase of the Ruckus Wireless AP! Ruckus Wireless APs are the industry’s most easy to use, yet robust and feature-rich Wi-Fi APs designed to bring power and simplicity together for large-scale outdoor deployments.

Your Ruckus Wireless AP uses BeamFlex, a patented antenna technology from Ruckus Wireless that allows wireless signals to navigate around interference, extend wireless signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for wireless networks. The BeamFlex antenna system consists of an array of high-gain directional antenna elements that allow Ruckus Wireless APs to find quality signal paths in a changing environment, and sustain the baseline performance required for supporting data, audio and video applications.

Your Ruckus Wireless AP can be deployed in standalone mode with or without a FlexMaster (FM) manager, or as part of the Ruckus Wireless Smart WLAN system, in which it can be managed by SmartCell Gateway (SCG), virtual SmartCell Gateway (vSCG), SmartZone (SZ), ZoneDirector (ZD), and Smart Access Management service (SAMs) controllers.

NOTE For more information on the Ruckus Wireless system, including SCG, vSCG,

SZ, ZD, SAMs and FM, BeamFlex, the Ruckus Wireless controller operating system (RuckOS), and other Ruckus Wireless technologies, visit

www.ruckuswireless.com

Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 11

Installing the Access Point

This User Guide assumes that the Ruckus Wireless outdoor APs have already been installed and have already been initially configured as described in the corresponding Mounting Guide, Installation Guide or Getting Started Guide.

NOTE DO NOT connect the AP to your live network when first connecting the AP

to an administrative computer. If you connect it to a live network with an active DHCP server, then the AP can acquire a new IP address from DHCP and you will be unable to access it via the default IP address (192.168.0.1).

If the AP has a new IP address, then reset the AP to the factory configuration as described in the corresponding mounting or installation guide.

Because of different mounting and wiring procedures, each outdoor AP model has its own installation guide. Refer to the installation guide that shipped with your product for model-specific installation instructions. These documents are available from

support.ruckuswireless.com

Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 65

Before You Begin: Preconfiguring the AP

NOTE APs are shipped from the factory with AP 100.x base image firmware, which

supports standalone and FlexMaster (FM) manager operation. The AP 100.x base image does not support SmartCell Gateway (SCG), virtual SmartCell Gateway (vSCG), SmartZone (SZ), or ZoneDirector (ZD) controller operation. After you have configured the AP with the AP 100.1.0 base image as described in the following sections, the AP can automatically search for an operator-defined SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller. When the AP finds the SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller that is configured to automatically recognize the AP, the controller downloads the required controller-compatible AP firmware, and the AP is now managed by that controller. If the AP does not find an SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller, then it retains its AP 100.1.0 base image.

NOTE In the SCG, vSCG, SZ and ZD cases, after the AP base image is overwritten

with the controller-specific image and the AP no longer operates in standalone mode, the AP retains its SCG, vSCG, SZ or ZD firmware image after reboot and factory reset. To replace controller-compatible AP firmware with the AP 100.1.0 base image, please select the AP and download the required AP firmware at

https://support.ruckuswireless.com/#products_grid

The procedure for completing the AP’s basic configuration depends on whether you want it to be managed by an SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller, or if you want it to operate as a standalone AP with or without an FM manager. Refer to the section that is relevant to your deployment:

• Configuring the AP for Management by an SCG, vSCG, or SZ Controller

• Configuring the AP for Management by ZD

• Configuring the AP for Standalone Operation or for Management by FM

Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 66

Before You Begin: Preconfiguring the AP

Configuring the AP for Management by an SCG, vSCG, or SZ Controller

When your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by an SCG, vSCG or SZ controller, you can manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP’s Web interface.

If SCG, vSCG or SZ controllers are installed on the network, then follow the SCG, vSCG or SZ instructions to configure the controller, and then connect the AP to your network. The AP finds the SCG, vSCG or SZ, and then downloads the SCG-, vSCG- or SZ-compatible AP firmware from the SCG, vSCG or SZ controller.

NOTE The AP must have some way of obtaining an IP address (IPv4 DHCP or IPv6

Auto Configuration).

Configuring the AP for Management by ZD

When your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by a ZD controller, you can manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP’s Web interface.

If ZoneDirector is installed on the network, then follow the instructions in the ZoneDirector User Guide and connect the AP to your network. The AP finds the ZD, and then downloads the ZD-compatible AP firmware from the ZD controller.

NOTE The AP must have some way of obtaining an IP address (IPv4 DHCP or IPv6

Auto Configuration).

Before You Begin: Preconfiguring the AP

Configuring the AP for Standalone Operation or for Management by FM

NOTE DO NOT connect the AP to your live network at this point. If you connect it

to a live network with an active DHCP server, the AP acquires a new IP address from the DHCP and you are unable to access it via the default IP address (192.168.0.1).

This section describes the steps you need to complete to set up the AP in standalone mode or to be managed by a Ruckus Wireless FlexMaster manager, if you have one installed on the network. Continue with the following:

1. Collecting the Required Materials

Before starting with the configuration task, make sure that you have the following requirements ready:

• An administrative computer (notebook computer) with an Ethernet port and a wireless card installed.

• A Web browser such as Chrome 39 or later, Firefox 33 or later, or Internet Explorer 10 or later installed on the administrative computer.

• One Cat5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable.

2. Logging Into the Ruckus Wireless AP Web Interface

You can manage your AP with the integrated Web interface (which you already used to configure basic AP parameters). If your Ruckus Wireless network is managed by an SCG, vSCG, SZ, or ZD controller, then you can manage APs using the controller rather than individually logging into each AP’s Web interface.

NOTE The following procedure assumes that you know the static IP address of

the AP (now in use), or you have some means of determining the dynamic IP address in use by the AP. The PC you use for AP administration should be on the management VLAN, if VLANs are used in your network. Refer to the AP installation or quick setup guide for instructions on how to connect an administrative computer to the AP.

1 On the PC, open a Web browser window.

When Using a Dual-Band AP

Configuring the AP for Standalone Operation or for Management by FM

When Using a Dual-Band AP

If your Ruckus Wireless AP model is dual-band, then note that elements on the Web interface menu are slightly different from single-band Ruckus Wireless AP models.

Dual-band APs have one 2.4GHz radio (for 802.11b/g/n clients) and one 5GHz radio (for 802.11a/n clients). The wireless settings for these two radios need to be configured separately, which is why the dual-band AP Web interface has the Radio

2.4G and Radio 5G menu items, instead of a single Wireless menu item in

single-band models.

Figure 27 highlights the differences between single-band and dual-band Ruckus

Wireless AP menus.

Figure 27. Menu items are slightly different in single-band APs (left) and dual-band APs (right)

Configuring Internet Settings

Internet settings define how the AP connects to your local area network and to the Internet. This section describes how to view and configure the AP’s Internet settings. Topics discussed include:

• VLAN Settings Overview

• Configuring an NTP Server

• Configuring the Management VLAN

• Default IP Addressing Behavior

• Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

• Configuring L2TP Connection Settings

Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 75

Configuring Internet Settings

VLAN Settings Overview

A Ruckus Wireless AP is like a network switch, in that it supports Wi-Fi connections. As such, like many advanced switches, Ruckus APs conform to the IEEE 802.1Q standard -- the standard that defines virtual LANs. In an 802.1Q switch, the concept of VLANs is always present. If a packet arrives without an 802.1Q header, it is assigned to the native VLAN or untag VLAN.

Each of the AP’s wireless interfaces can be assigned a single VLAN. When a packet enters the AP through its wireless interface, the packet is assigned to the Access VLAN configured on the Configuration > Wireless page (by default, 1).

AP Ethernet ports however, can be configured to pass all VLAN traffic (Trunk Ports) or multiple specific VLANs (General ports).

The VLAN displayed in the Web interface shows the AP’s view of the VLAN environment; when a packet arrives at an AP’s Ethernet port, the port’s VLAN configuration helps determine if the packet is accepted or not (VLAN membership), and assigns a default VLAN (untagged VLAN) if the packet contains no 802.1Q header.

In general, if your network has VLANs deployed already, you should apply VLAN configuration to Ruckus APs so that the configuration across the network is consistent.

Configuring an NTP Server

A network time protocol (NTP) server should be configured to ensure that the AP maintains the correct time. The default Ruckus Wireless NTP Server (ntp.ruckuswireless.com) can be used if you do not have an NTP server on your network.

If you want the AP to use a different NTP server, you can do so by going to Configuration > Internet, entering the host name in NTP Server at the top of the page, and then clicking Update Settings.

Configuring the Management VLAN

NOTE Changing the Management VLAN causes you to be immediately

disconnected from the Web interface if the computer you are using is not on the same VLAN. Do not change the Management VLAN unless your admin PC is on the same VLAN, or you are disconnected and unable to connect again without factory resetting the AP.

Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 76

Configuring Internet Settings

Default IP Addressing Behavior

If you want to place this AP’s management traffic into a management VLAN, enter the VLAN ID in the Management VLAN field and click Update Settings.

Default IP Addressing Behavior

By default, the AP is configured to automatically obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server on the network. If the AP does not detect a DHCP server, it automatically assigns itself the static IP address 192.168.0.1 (or

192.168.100.2 for Cable Modem APs) to make it easier for you to configure and

deploy it on your network.

For IPv6, the Auto Configuration setting serves the same purpose as DHCP. The default static IPv6 address is fc00::1.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

There are three methods of assigning IP addresses to the AP:

• DHCP/Auto Configuration

• Configuring a Static IP

• PPPoE

DHCP/Auto Configuration

If you leave the AP at its default configuration, then it attempts to obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server on the network.

In an IPv6 network environment, the AP attempts to obtain an IPv6 address from an IPv6 Auto Configuration server.

Refer to the following:

• Renewing and Releasing DHCP

• Configuring IPv4 Auto or Manual Configuration

• Configuring IPv6 Auto Configuration

Renewing and Releasing DHCP

This task should be performed only if you have access to the DHCP server or have some way to determine what IP address has been assigned to the AP. It serves as a troubleshooting technique when IP addresses to one or more networked devices prove to be unusable or in conflict with others, or when the AP loses its DHCPassigned IP address for some reason.

4 In IPv6 Secondary DNS Server, enter the IP address of the secondary IPv6 DNS

server.

5 Click Update Settings to save your changes

Configuring a Static IP

There are at least two instances when you need to configure a static IP address for the AP:

• If the current IP address that the AP is using consistently conflicts with that of another device on the network.

• If you want to switch from DHCP to static IP addressing to manage and maintain the AP.

Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP/Auto Configuration server to the AP, it may prove helpful for anyone needing administrative access to assign a static IP address.

1 Go to Configuration > Internet.

You can configure static addresses for IPv4, IPv6 or both. The AP maintains both sets of IP address settings if both are configured.

2 In IPv4 Connection Type or IPv6 Connection Type, select Static IP.

3 When the Internet Connection Settings options appear, you can make changes

to the following settings:

• (IPv6 only) IPv6 Primary DNS Server: The IP address of the primary IPv6 DNS

PPPoE

Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a Layer 2 protocol which uses the PPP (Point to Point) protocol to connect a client system to a server system over a one to one network link. All traffic for a PPPoE connected client must go through the PPPoE server to reach the client. A PPPoE server can therefore be used to route, NAT, firewall, and perform QoS traffic shaping.

If a PPPoE server is used to distribute Internet access to subscribers, the AP can be configured with a PPPoE username and password to authenticate with the PPPoE server.

PPPoE is available only for the IPv4 connection type; PPPoE is not supported in IPv6 environments.

1 Go to Configuration > Internet.

Configuring L2TP Connection Settings

You can implement transparent bridging with Ruckus Wireless APs by using L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) tunneling. By tunneling traffic from a Ruckus Wireless AP to a centralized data center, access controllers with policy enforcement software can apply rules and services. In a typical WLAN implementation, these rules include a captive portal to authenticate users’ credentials.

In the case of L2TP, the Ruckus Wireless AP functions as a remote bridge. As such, it forwards traffic into PPP sessions over the L2TP tunnel. This implementation ensures that you have complete visibility into MAC addresses of users, as individual Wi-Fi clients are essentially placed (bridged) onto the ISP’s core network.

1 Go to Configuration > Internet.

2 At L2TP Connection, click Enable.

Configuring Local Subnets

Configuring L2TP Connection Settings

Configuring Local Subnets

Ruckus Wireless APs can be configured to provide routing/network address translation (NAT) functionality using the Local Subnets feature. When a Local Subnet is enabled, the standalone AP serves as a gateway router that can manage its own subnets, providing DHCP server and DNS cache functions for both wired and wireless clients. These clients can be assigned private IP addresses from a userdefined address pool. Traffic from the client station in private address space appears on the outside as if generated by the AP itself. In this way, the AP performs Layer 3 packet forwarding not only for Hotspot/WISPr usage, but for standard usage as well.

Up to four IP subnets can be configured per AP, each with its own VLAN and address range which cannot conflict with one another.

1 Go to Configuration > Local Subnets. The Local Subnet 1 through Local

Subnet 4 tabs allow you to configure each of the four subnets independently.

assigned addresses by DHCP in this subnet (valid values are 1-253 if the default subnet mask is used).

8 In Access VLAN, enter a VLAN ID to segment client traffic arriving from this subnet

from other network traffic. (Example: If you use the default 192.168.40.1 address range, you would generally use “40” as the VLAN for this subnet.)

On dual-radio 802.11n APs:

On dual radio 802.11n APs, the wireless mode is determined by radio; that is, for the 2.4GHz radio, the mode is automatically set to 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n), while for the 5GHz radio, the mode is automatically set to 5GHz (802.11ac/a/n).

Channel This option lets you select the channel used by the network. You

can choose choose

SmartSelect, or choose a specific channel. If you

SmartSelect, then the AP automatically selects the best

channel (encountering the least interference) to transmit the signal.

Channel Width (11n APs only)

On 802.11n APs, the option to choose 40 MHz channel width theoretically provides double the data capacity of a 20 MHz channel. However, more channel width means fewer channels available, and more interference with other wireless signals.

On 802.11n APs, the option to choose 80 MHz channel width theoretically provides four times the data capacity of a 20 MHz channel. However, more channel width means fewer channels available, and more interference with other wireless signals.

Using WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for 802.11 wireless networks designed to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a wired network. WEP uses a pre-shared key for encrypting data frames that is shared among all users of the wireless network. For this reason and others, WEP has been discredited as a security mechanism and should be avoided in favor of WPA if at all possible.

NOTE WEP encryption has been proven to be easily circumvented. Therefore,

Ruckus Wireless recommends using WPA whenever possible, and only use WEP if your client devices do not support WPA.

Using WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in response to the weaknesses of WEP.

Selecting WPA as the Encryption Method allows you to choose WPA version, WPA Authentication and WPA Algorithm. This section discusses WPA-PSK (pre-shared key). For information on WPA-Enterprise (WPA-802.1X), see Customizing 802.1X

Settings.

WPA-PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) allows automatic key generation based on a single passphrase. WPA-PSK provides strong security for small and medium organizations and does not require a RADIUS server, but may not be supported on older wireless devices. In some cases, the older devices can be upgraded with adapters to take advantage of WPA-PSK.

Customizing 802.1X Settings.

WPA Algorithm •

AES: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) replaces TKIP

(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) as the default (and

recommended) encryption algorithm for modern wireless LANs. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is an older encryption algorithm that provides stronger security than a shared WEP key, but not as strong as the newer AES algorithm.

Auto (TKIP+AES): Auto allows both encryption algorithms to be

• used on the same WLAN. When Auto is selected, the wireless client decides whether TKIP or AES is used. Note however that allowing TKIP reduces the performance of the WLAN (as broadcast packets are limited to slower transfer rates), and is therefore not recommended.

If you choose WPA as the encryption method, then you have the option to set up the AP to act as an 802.1X proxy, using external authentication sources such as a RADIUS server.

In 802.1X authentication, the supplicant sends access request messages along with credentials, such as user name/password or digital certificate, to an authenticator, which forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. The supplicant (client device) remains in an unauthorized state until verification has been received. In unauthorized state, only 802.1X traffic is allowed; all other traffic, such as DHCP and HTTP traffic, is dropped. For its wireless interfaces, the AP can serve as the authenticator communicating between the supplicant and the authentication server.
