STEP 1: CONNECT THE AP TO YOUR COMPUTER
1 After removing your Ruckus Wireless AP from its package,
place it next to your computer.
2 Temporarily disconnect your computer from any local net-
work, if connected.
3 Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network
port to one of the three ports on the AP.
• 7343/7363: (pictured below): 10/100/1000 PoE, or 10/
100 FE.
4 Using the AC adapter included in the package, connect
the AP to a convenient (and protected) power source.
Alternatively, connect the POE port to a PoE (Power over
Ethernet) switch for power and network connectivity.
5 After a minute, verify that the PWR LED on the external
enclosure is a steady green.
STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER FOR AP SETUP
1 On your Windows computer, open the Network Connections
(or Network and Dial-up Connections) control panel according
to how the Start menu is set up:
Start > Settings > Network Connections
Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
2 When the Network Connections window appears, right-
click the icon for Local Area Connection, and then click
select Properties.
3 When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box
appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the scroll-
ing list, and then click Properties.
The TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
4 Select Use the following IP address option (if it is not
already selected), and then make the following entries:
• IP address: 192.168.0.22 (or any address in the
192.168.0.x network)
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
• Preferred DNS server: 192.168.0.1
Leave the Alternate DNS server field empty.
5 Click OK to save your changes, exit first the TCP/IP Prop-
erties dialog box, and then the Local Area Connection
Properties dialog box.
Your changes are put into effect immediately.
STEP 3: LOG INTO THE AP
As specified earlier, the AP should be directly connected to
your computer (through one of the LAN ports), and have been
powered on, ready for setup.
1
On your computer, open a Web browser window.
2 In the browser, type this URL to connect to the AP:
https://192.168.0.1
3 Press <Enter> to initiate the connection. When a security
alert dialog box appears, click OK/Yes to proceed.
4 When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page appears,
enter the following:

If the AP is deployed with a ZoneDirector, follow the
ZoneDirector Quick Setup Guide, and connect the AP to
your Ethernet network.

Make sure you do not open the Properties dialog box for
the wireless network.
