Step 2: Verify Access Point Operation
Before deploying the Access Point to your environment, Ruckus Wireless strongly
recommends that you verify that the Access Point is operating correctly. To do this,
you will need to connect the Access Point to your live network temporarily and make
sure that the network connection works and that wireless clients are able to associate
with the Access Point and connect to your network and the Internet.
NOTE: The network and power connections that you will be making in this step are
temporary. You can perform these verification tasks indoor.
Connect the Access Point to the Network
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN (RJ-45) port on the Access Point to your
network’s router or switch.
2. Reconnect the Access Point to a power source.
You have completed connecting the Access Point to your live network. Perform the
tasks described in the following sections to verify that the Access Point is operating
normally.
