T310s Sector Antenna Coverage

The T310s 120-Degree Sector AP is best deployed where internal antenna directional beamwidths can provide extended reach and throughput to a 120-degree coverage area. See the illustrations below for the azimuth and elevation coverage patterns.
FIGURE 2 Typical AP sector azimuth plane coverage, top view
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.
CAUTION! Make sure that proper lightning surge protection
precautions are taken according to local electrical code.
WARNING! Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you
wear eye protection before mounting the T310s.

Connecting And Sealing the RJ-45 Cables

Connect and seal the RJ-45 cable(s) using the M25 data cable glands shown in the Figure below.
WARNING! Do not use any PoE injector not tested and
approved by Ruckus Wireless to power the T310s Access Point.
FIGURE 4 T310s LEDs and Ports
1. Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-ring, clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown.
NOTE: Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber O-ring into the gland body until the gland body has been torqued to spec.
2. Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required (PoE IN) blanking cap from the AP.
3. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the AP.
4. Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or 62 in-lbs.
5. Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O­ring. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber O-ring.
6. Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the cable gland base.
7. Hand-tighten the sealing nut.

Attaching the U-Joint Bracket to the Mounting Bracket

1. Position the U-joint bracket on the mounting bracket.
NOTE: Mount the U-joint bracket in any direction on the mounting bracket, preferably to allow AP azimuth adjustments. Then the AP bracket allows AP elevation adjustments.

Attaching the AP Bracket to the Linkage Bracket

Attach the AP bracket to the linkage bracket using the included bolt, nut, lock washer, flat washer, serrated external­tooth washer shown in the illustration below.
The AP bracket attaches to the linkage bracket using an M8 bolt and washer set. The linkage bracket is symmetrical, and either end can be attached to the AP bracket.
NOTE: Make sure that linkage bracket is installed with its serrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside of the AP bracket flanges. This ensures that the elevation adjustment does not change.

Attaching the AP Bracket to the Access Point

1. Place the AP bracket onto the back side of the AP so that the four larger screw holes on the bracket align with the four screw holes on the AP. Make sure that the end of the AP bracket with the hoisting loop is on the same side as the AP PoE IN port.
2. Use four 0.5-inch x 0.250-28 hex bolts with split lock and flat washer sets to mount the AP bracket to the AP. Tighten the bolts to 2.5-3.0 N.m or 22-27 in-lbs.
CAUTION! Make sure that the screws are no longer
than 0.5 inch. If a screw is longer than 0.5 inch, it can damage the AP chassis.
3. If required, suspend the AP by attaching a carabiner to the hoisting loop on the AP bracket.
NOTE: This kit may include extra screws, nuts and washers. You may use the extras where required.

Powering the AP with DC
.
Page 4

Powering the AP with DC

The T310s can accommodate two sources of power – PoE (48V) power and 12V DC.
The T310s can draw power from the Ethernet input as a class 3 device, providing a maximum of 12.95W to the system. Alternately, power can be supplied through a customer­provided 12V DC power supply (7-20V DC acceptable) that will connect to a two pin terminal block. The terminal block is accessible through a water-tight gland on one end of the unit. The terminal block connection has surge and polarity protection to protect against inserting the wrong polarity leads into the terminal block.
NOTE: When both 12V DC and the 48V PoE power are active, the T310s will prioritize the 12VDC power.
NOTE: If DC cables are individual wires, then a special cable gland insert is required for IP67 seal.
1. Install the DC power supply as described in the DC power supply accessory installation guide.
2. Connect the power cord to a DC power source.
3. Verify that the PWR LED is a steady green.

Earth Grounding the AP

CAUTION! Make sure that earth grounding is available and
that it meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
NOTE: The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before completing this step, check your local wiring standards for guidance.
FIGURE 12 Connect good earth ground to AP here
Congratulations! You have mounted your T310s access point.

Installing a USB Dongle

To install a USB dongle (such as an IoT radio device such as BLE, 802.15.4, Z-wave or similar), remove the two 3mm hex screws, remove the cap, and insert the dongle into the USB port.
Once installed, replace the cap and the hex screws, and torque the screws to 7 in-lbs (0.79 N.m).
NOTE: If required, a larger USB dongle cap can be purchased separately. The maximum dimensions of the USB dongle that can be inserted (with the large USB dongle cap, part # 902-0127-000) are 6 cm x 2 cm x 1.1 cm. Max Power: 450mW (SiLabs EM3578 max current draw at +20 dBm is 80mA over a 3.3V rail).
FIGURE 13 Installing a USB dongle

Troubleshooting

CAUTION! If required, you can reset the AP to its factory
default settings by pressing the reset button located inside the PoE IN port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO INSTRUCTED. (Doing this resets the AP IP address to
192.168.0.1.)
NOTE: After a reset, you can access the internal AP web interface using https://192.168.0.1. Your device must use any other address from 192.168.0.2 through
192.168.0.254, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The username is super, and the password is sp-admin. Refer to the

For More Information

For information on how to configure and manage the AP, refer to the
Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Point User Guide

,
Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw/ washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis ground point.
CAUTION! The T310s AP includes one 9mm stainless steel
M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than 9mm. If a screw is longer than 9mm, it can damage the AP chassis.
