(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Xo-1 ANTENNA COVERAGE

The Xo-1 AP includes internal omni 5GHz and 2.4GHz antennas, and has two female N-type connector for optional customer-ordered external 5GHz antennas.

Internal Omni Antennas

When the internal antennas are used, the Xo-1 is best deployed where lateral beamforming can provide the greatest reach and throughput to a wide coverage area, or to provide the greatest distance between APs in a connecting mesh device. See Figure 1 for a typical side view coverage pattern, see Figure 2 for a typical top view coverage pattern, and see Figure 3 for a typical mesh coverage pattern.

Figure 1 – Typical AP internal omni coverage, side view

Figure 2 – Typical AP internal omni coverage, top view

Figure 3 – Typical AP internal-antenna mesh elevation plane

coverage, side view

External Customer-Supplied 5GHz Antennas

Instead of the internal omni 5GHz antennas, the Xo-1 can use one or two external 5GHz antennas in point-to-point and other specialized deployments for extended backhaul, higher throughput, and/or larger or smaller beamwidths than those provided by Ruckus Wireless AP internal antennas.

Figure 4 shows the Xo-1 used in a typical backhaul deployment.

Figure 4 – Typical AP long-range point-to-point deployment

Step 1: Connecting and Sealing the RJ-45 Cable

The AP uses one RJ-45 cable for Ethernet backhaul and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Connect and seal the cable using the M25 data cable gland.

Feed the end of the RJ-45 cable through the sealing nut (D in Figure 5), rubber sealing insert (C in Figure 5), clamping ring assembly (B in Figure 5) and cable gland base (A in Figure 5).

Figure 5 – RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly

Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the blanking cap from the AP.

Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the AP.

Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or 62 in-lbs.

Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber sealing insert. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber sealing insert.

Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber sealing insert in

the cable gland base.

Tighten the sealing nut to 1.1 N.m or 10 in-lbs, or until the rubber sealing insert is compressed.

Continue with Step 2a: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Flat Surface or Step 2b: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Metal Pole.

Step 2a: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Flat Surface

The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a captive screw. Use a medium flat-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw (A in Figure 6) and pull up on the end of the bracket to remove the bracket from the AP (B in Figure

6).

Figure 6 – Removing the mounting bracket

Using either of the two options shown in Figure 7, hold the mounting bracket at the location on the mounting surface where you want to mount the AP. Use the holes on the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes.

NOTE: The mounting bracket can be mounted to a vertical or horizontal surface to support the AP in the required orientation.

Figure 7 – Mounting bracket on a flat surface

Remove the mounting bracket from the mounting surface.

Drill holes required for the customer-supplied mounting hardware.

Attach the mounting bracket to the flat surface using the mounting hardware.

Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the hardware to secure the mounting bracket.

Continue with Step 3: Mounting the AP.

Step 2b: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Metal Pole

The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a captive screw. Loosen the screw (A in Figure 6) and pull up on the end of the bracket to remove the bracket from the AP (B in Figure

6).

Insert the open end of one steel clamp into two of the slots on the mounting bracket.

NOTE: The mounting bracket can be mounted to a vertical or horizontal pole to support the AP in the required orientation.

Using either of the two options shown in Figure 8, use the clamp(s) to attach the mounting bracket to the pole. Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s specifications if the factory-supplied clamps are not used.

If necessary, daisy-chain the other steel clamps to accommodate larger poles.

Figure 8 – Mounting bracket on a pole

Continue with Step 3: Mounting the AP.

Step 3: Mounting the AP

Snap the AP back onto the mounting bracket (A in Figure 9), and use a medium flat-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screw to 1.1 N.m or 10 in-lbs to secure the bracket to the AP (B in Figure 9).

Figure 9 – Attaching the mounting bracket to the AP

Optional Step: If you also need to lock the mounting bracket to the AP, then use a matching security screwdriver to screw the customer-supplied locking stainless steel 6mm M3 panhead security screw through the mounting bracket and into the AP chassis.

CAUTION: Make sure that the customer-supplied locking stainless steel M3 panhead security screw is no longer than 6mm. If the security screw is longer than 6mm, it can damage the AP chassis.

Figure 10 – Locking the mounting bracket to the AP

Continue with Step 4: Earth Grounding the AP.

Step 4: 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.

Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis ground point (A in Figure 12).

CAUTION: The Xo-1 AP includes one 12mm stainless steel M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than 12mm. If a screw is longer than 12mm, it can damage the AP chassis.

Figure 11 – Connect good earth ground to the AP here

Optional Step 5: Mounting and Connecting an External 5GHz Antenna

You can optionally connect two customer-ordered 5GHz external antennas to the standard N-type female connectors on the Xo-1 AP.

Disconnect the AP from its power source.

WARNING: Before connecting the antennas to the AP, make sure that you disconnect the AP from the power source.

NOTE: Refer to Required Hardware and Tools for information on tested 5GHz external antennas.

Unscrew the metal caps that protect the antenna connectors. Place the metal caps in a safe place for later use.

If the antennas come with RF coaxial cables (for example, a patch antenna), then physically mount the antenna, preferably on the same mounting structure as the AP.

NOTE: Mount the external antennas at least 20cm (7.9”) away from each other and away from other antennas, if possible.

If the antennas do not use RF coaxial cables, then connect the antennas directly to the antenna connectors on the AP. Use a torque wrench to tighten the connectors to 1.58 N.m (14 in-lbs). Follow all instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer.

--OR--

If the antennas do use RF coaxial cables, then connect the antennas to the antenna connectors on the AP and on the antennas. Use a torque wrench to tighten the connectors to

1.58 N.m (14 in-lbs). Follow all instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer.

Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors as described in the Ruckus Wireless N-Type Connector Sealing Instructions.

Refer to the Xo-1 802.11ac Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide and enable the 5GHz external antennas, and then set the 5GHz external antenna gain.

CAUTION: If you are not connecting external antennas to the AP, then make sure that the metal caps remain installed and securely fastened to protect the interfaces from elements, such as water and dirt.

Congratulations! You have mounted your Xo-1 access point.
