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

Getting to Know the Access Point Features

SmartCell SC8800-S Outdoor Access Point

NOTE The 100.x AP base images support standalone mode and FlexMaster (FM)

WLAN manager operation. The RuckOS-compatible images only support SCG, vSCG, and SZ controllers. The ZD-compatible images only support ZD controllers.

The SC8800-S requires a minimum of AP base image 100.0.0 and later to operate, or SCG 2.1 and later, vSCG 2.5 and later, RuckOS 3.2 and later, or ZF 9.6.1 and later to operate.

DO NOT connect the SC8800-S to a Ruckus Wireless controller with SCG 1.0 or earlier, or ZF 9.6.0 or earlier.
