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 ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point User Guide for information on configuring and operating the AP. This document is available at https://

support.ruckuswireless.com.

NOTE: After an AP is removed from its mounting, it may drip

some water from the channel surrounding the radome. As long as the AP has been operating normally, this incidental water collection and dripping is normal, and is not service-affecting.
