Quick Setup Guide
Step 1: Collect Tools and Setup Requirements
Make sure that you have the following setup requirements:
• A PC/Mac/mobile client with a WiFi network adapter and a web
browser
• One Cat 5e Ethernet cable
• Network switch or router, with Internet connectivity
• An AC power adapter (sold separately), or
• An 802.3af or 802.3at -compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE)
switch or PoE injector
• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver and T8 Torx driver for wall mounting
anchor kit
• When mounting the Unleashed R600 to a truss or pole, two
customer-supplied cable ties
Step 2: Connect the AP to Power and Your Network
Figure 1. : Top view
1 After removing your Unleashed AP from its package, connect it
to your network switch or router using an Ethernet cable.
2 Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP 12VDC
port to a protected power source.
• Alternatively, connect the PoE port to a PoE injector or PoE
switch for both power and network connections.
3 Verify that the Power LED on the external enclosure is a steady
green.

Step 3: Log In and Run the Setup Wizard
1 As soon as the Unleashed AP is powered on and connected to
the local network, it boots up and begins broadcasting a
temporary unencrypted WLAN named “Configure.Me-[xxxxxx]”
from the 2.4 GHz radio only.
2 Using your client’s WiFi configuration settings, select and
associate to the “Configure.Me-[xxxxxx]” WLAN.
3 Launch a web browser and enter the following into the
browser’s URL bar: unleashed.ruckuswireless.com
, and press
Enter.

4 Select Create New Unleashed Network, and click
Start to begin.
5 The “Conf iguring Unleashed Master” progress scre en disp lays
the progress. Wait until the initialization process completes.
.
6 Once initialization is complete, ensure that you are still
connected to the “Configure.Me” WLAN, and click
Next.
7 You will be redirected to the Setup Wizard. Complete the steps
in the Setup Wizard and click
Finish.
Note: If you will be using PoE, then you will need a Cat
5e (or better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the
PoE injector or switch.

11 Upon successful login you will be presented with the
Unleashed Dashboard, which displays an overview of your
Ruckus Unleashed network.

Step 4: Customize Your Wireless LANs
Once the Unleashed Master AP has been initialized, you can finetune the settings of your first WLAN (that you created during the
setup wizard), and create any additional WLANs needed prior to
attaching additional Unleashed member APs. Then, when you
deploy additional member APs in whatever order you prefer, they
will automatically retrieve all WLAN configuration settings (and any
other settings you have configured) from the Unleashed Master AP.
1 From the Dashboard, click anywhere in the WiFi Networks
section to expand the display of your deployed WLANs.
2 On the left side of the screen, select the WLAN box for the
WLAN you would like to configure, and click the
Edit button to
edit the configuration; or click
Create to create a new WLAN.
3 If you made any changes to the original WLAN, you will be
disconnected and will need to reconnect once the changes
have been deployed on the AP radios.
Congratulations! Your Unleashed network is now configured and
ready for use. You may now proceed to Step 5: Deploy Additional
Unleashed Access Points.
Step 5: Deploy Additional Unleashed Access Points
Deploying additional Unleashed member APs is simply a matter of
connecting them to the same Layer 2 network (subnet) and
providing power. They will discover the Unleashed Master and join
automatically. No additional steps are necessary.

(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Unleashed R600 can be mounted to a T-bar, wall or ceiling a
using the enclosed mounting kits. Refer to the following sections:
• Mounting on a Flat Surface
• Mounting on a Recessed Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
• Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
• Mounting on a Truss or Pole
Mounting on a Flat Surface
1 Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this Quick
Setup Guide as a template to mark the locations for drill holes
on the mounting surface. There are two sets of keyholes
available on the AP. One allows the AP to be mounted to a wall
or ceiling. The other allows the Unleashed R600 to be mounted
to an accessory bracket (not included).
2 Use a 5mm drill bit to drill holes approximately 25mm into the
mounting surface (A in Figure 9.
).
3 Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the mounting
surface, leaving approximately 1/4” (6 mm) of the screw heads
protruding for the AP enclosure.
4 Insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the side of the AP to
release the locking mechanism (B in Figure 9.
).
5 Place the AP onto the mounting screws so that the screw
heads enter the mounting holes on the AP enclosure, and push
the AP down to lock in place.
6 Remove the unit removal pin to release the locking mechanism
and secure the AP.
7 To remove the AP, insert the unit removal pin into the hole on
the side of the AP to unlock, then push the AP up to release the
AP enclosure from the mounting screws.

Mounting on a Recessed Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The enclosed T-bar bracket supports mounting to recessed drop
ceiling T-bars.
• Mounting an AP using the External Bracket
• Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar
• Removing an External Bracket from an AP
Mounting an AP using the External Bracket
1 Insert the unit removal pin (A in Figure 10.) into the hole on the
side of the Unleashed R600 (B in Figure 10.
) to release the
locking mechanism.
Figure 10. . Attaching the external bracket to the AP
2 Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (C in
Figure 10.
) in the mounting holes on the Unleashed R600
enclosure, and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in
the narrow parts of the Unleashed R600 mounting keyholes
(arrow).
3 Remove the unit removal pin (A in Figure 10.) to engage the
locking mechanism and secure the T-bar bracket to the
Unleashed R600.
4 Make sure that the locking tab (D in Figure 10.) is in the first
position on the T-bar bracket (C in Figure 10.
).
5 Gently push the ceiling tiles up and out of the way.
6 Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of
the T-bar (A in Figure 11.
). Make sure that both clasps are
gripping the T-bar.
Figure 11. . Attaching the external bracket to the T-bar
7 Hold the Unleashed R600 in place and gently push the locking
tab (B in Figure 11.
) until its clasp grips the other edge of the T-
bar.
Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar
1 Move the ceiling tiles out of the way.
2 Gently lift up the locking tab (A in Figure 12.) by sliding your
fingers under the tab.
3 While lifting up on the locking tab, rotate the Unleashed R600-
and-T-bar bracket assembly (B in Figure 12.
). The Unleashed
R600-and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away from the T-bar.
Figure 12. . Removing the external bracket from the T-bar
Removing an External Bracket from an AP
1 Insert the unit removal pin (A in Figure 13.) into the hole on the
side of the Unleashed R600.
2 Gently lift up the retainer tab (B in Figure 13.).
3 Gently push the T-bar bracket (C in Figure 13.) until it detaches
from the Unleashed R600.

Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
• Mounting an AP using the Integrated Bracket
• Removing an AP Integrated Bracket from a T-Bar
Mounting an AP using the Integrated Bracket
1 Orient the AP so that the T-bar is positioned between the T-bar
clips as shown in Figure 14.
, then rotate the AP until the third Tbar clip catches the T-bar and the latch locks the T-bar in place
(Figure 15.
).
Figure 14. . Attaching the integrated bracket to the T-bar
Figure 15. . Locking the integrated bracket to the T-bar
2 Insert the Torx security screw into the hole near the latch to lock
the AP in place.
Removing an AP Integrated Bracket from a T-Bar
1 To remove the AP from a T-bar, first remove the security screw,
then depress the latch while rotating the AP so that the T-bar
clips disengage the T-bar.
Mounting on a Truss or Pole
1 Feed the customer-supplied cable ties through the two slots on
the back of the Unleashed R600.
2 Fasten the Unleashed R600 to the truss or pole using the cable
ties.
Note: This mounting bracket can also be used on a
flush drop-ceiling T-bar, so the four rubber feet on the
bottom of the AP minimize ceiling tile displacement.
