H500 Access Point
Quick Setup Guide
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how
to set up your Ruckus Wireless H500 Dual Band 802.11ac
Multimedia Wi-Fi Access Point Wall Switch. After completing the
steps described in this Guide, you will be able to access the Wi-Fi
Wall Switch and begin providing wired and wireless network
access to users. The rest of this document refers to the H500
Access Point Wall Switch as the H500.
The H500 has many options:
• It can be mounted on a standard USA- or EU-style single-
gang wall outlet box.
• It can be powered by a customer-supplied IEEE 802.3af/at-
compliant PoE switch or injector, or can be powered by an
optional customer-ordered DC power adapter.
• It has side cutouts for one or two Ethernet bypass cables. The
mounting bracket has locating hooks to keep the bypass
cables aligned with the cutouts when attaching the H500 to
the mounting base.
• It can have a low-power (0.5W or less) customer-supplied
USB adapter plugged in. The USB adapter is very difficult to
remove after the H500 is attached to the mounting base.
ABOUT POWERING PERIPHERAL DEVICES
The H500 can supply power to USB and PoE-powered devices,
and the power supplied depends on the PoE power supplied to
the H500.
• The USB port is intended for low-power devices such as BLE
beacons. The maximum power that the USB port can supply
is 0.5W.
• The PoE port is intended for PoE-powered peripheral devices
such as IP telephones.
