CAUTION! THE MINIMUM SOFTWARE REVISION FOR
THE T710 IS ZONEFLEX (ZF) 9.12.2 OR LATER.
DO NOT CONNECT THE T710 TO A RUCKUS
WIRELESS CONTROLLER WITH ZF 9.12.1 OR
EARLIER.
This Mounting Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to
field-install the Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector T710 access point (AP).
For detailed information on planning the installation, performing a site
survey, and operating the T710, refer to the ZoneFlex Outdoor Access
Point User Guide, available at https://support.ruckuswireless.com
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to
install, replace, or service this equipment.
WARNING: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and
national electrical codes.
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 T710.

STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SEALING THE RJ-45
ABLES
C
The T710 may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for Ethernet
when configured as a Root AP (RAP), and one when the T710 is
supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a small cell or micro
cell radio. When the T710 uses RJ-45 cables, connect and seal the
cables using the M25 data cable glands (B in Figure 1).
1 Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-ring,
clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown in Figure
2.
Figure 2: RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly
2 Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required (RESET/
PoE OUT or PoE IN) blanking cap from the T710.
3 Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the T710.
4 Tighten the cable gland base into the T710 chassis to 7 N.m or
62 in-lbs.

5 Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring. Make
sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber Oring.
6 Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the cable
gland base.
7 Hand-tighten the sealing nut.
STEP 2: ASSEMBLE THE MOUNTING BRACKET
1 Assemble the Mounting Bracket as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Assemble the mounting bracket
2 Continue with Step 3.
STEP 4: ATTACH THE MOUNTING BRACKET TO A
OLE
P
1 Wrap the steel clamps around the pole, then insert steel clamps
into the clamp slots on the mounting bracket.
Figure 5: Steel clamp slots for a vertical pole
2 Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s
specifications.

NOTE: The color coding of wire conductors varies by region. Before
completing this step, check your local wiring standards for guidance.
5 Using a small screwdriver, tighten the small screws around the
connector housing to fix the connector pins into the terminals.
6 Mate the cable gland with the connector housing, and then hand-
tighten.
STEP 3: ATTACH THE MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE
AP
1 Attach the Mounting bracket to the bottom of the AP as shown in
Figure 4.

3 Continue with Step 5.
STEP 5: POWERING THE AP WITH AC
1 Separate the AC cable connector parts by unscrewing the boot
from the cable gland and the cable gland from the connector
housing.
2 Feed the end of the AC cable through the boot and cable gland.
3 Strip the AC cable as shown.
4 Insert the stripped part of the conductors into the appropriate
terminals on the connector housing. The conductors are colorcoded and must be connected to the appropriate terminals as
shown in Figure 7.
Typical AC wire colors:
- (Earth Ground): Green (US), Green/Yellow (EU)
- 1 (Neutral/Return): White or Gray (US), Blue (EU)

Actual Size (1:1)
Two different-sized grommets are supplied in the AC connector
assembly kit. Use the grommet that is appropriate to the diameter
of the AC cable that you are using.
7 Mate the boot with the cable gland, and then hand-tighten to seal.
8 Connect the AC cord connector that you have assembled to the
AC power socket on the AP.
9 Connect the AC cord to an AC power source.
CAUTION: If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default
settings by pressing the reset button located inside the PoE OUT/
RESET port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO INSTRUCTED. (Doing
this resets the T710 IP address to 192.168.0.1.)

TROUBLESHOOTING: REPLACING THE AP FUSES
ONLY IF REQUIRED)
(
NOTE: If the PWR LED does not turn on at all, one or both of the AC
power supply fuses inside the
T710 chassis may have burned out. Replace them as follows:
1 Remove power from the T710.
2 Open the T710 cover and replace any burned-out 5A, 250V, slow-
blow fuse(s), as required.
Figure 8 shows the T710 fuse locations.
