Step 1: Collecng Setup Requirements, Hardware
and Tools
• Admin PC (computer with an Ethernet port and Wi-Fi adapter)
• Cat 5e (or beer) Ethernet cable
• Ruckus Wireless 48VDC power adapter (sold separately) or 802.3at-
compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector
NOTE: The PoE switch port must run link layer discovery protocol
(LLDP) power over Ethernet/MDI (PoE+) in order for the R850 to
operate in full-power mode. This may require enabling both LLDP
and Power via MDI (dot3) on the switch, if available.
NOTE: If powered by 802.3at PoE, note that the feature set is
reduced, as follows:
– 4x4 (2.4GHz) + 4x4 (5GHz) chain operaon mode (reduced from
4x4 (2.4GHz) + 8x8 (5GHz) under full power)
NOTE: The recommended PoE injector for the R850 is GRT-480125A
(60W power rang and 1 Gbps link speed). If using the
recommended PoE injector, you must 1) manually select AT+ mode
as the power mode in the SmartZone/ZoneDirector GUI, and 2) force
1Gbps link speed on the switch.
Oponal hardware and tools:
• Customer-supplied small padlock with a 3.5-mm (0.14-in.) or smaller
shackle diameter, used to fasten the AP to the secure mounng bracket
or the T-bar bracket.
• Customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless 902-0120-0000 secure mounng
bracket kit:
– If you are mounng the AP on a at surface using the secure
mounng bracket kit, then you need an electric drill with 4.75-mm
(3/16-in.) drill bits.
– If you are mounng the AP on a pipe or pole using the secure
mounng bracket kit, then you will also need a 38.1-mm to 63.5-mm
(1.5-in. to 2.5-in.) pipe or pole, two pole clamps, and hand tools to
ghten the clamps.
Step 2: Connecng Your Computer to the AP
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network port to
the 5G ETH PoE port on the AP (1 in the Figure below).
2. Using a DC power adapter (sold separately), connect the AP's 48 VDC
port (2 in the Figure below) to a convenient and protected power
source.
NOTE: Alternavely, connect the 5G ETH PoE port to a PoE injector
or switch for both power and network connecvity.
