7055 Physical Installation
This section describes the physical installation instructions for mounting the 7055
to an electrical outlet box.
CAUTION! The AP and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors
within the same building, including the PoE powered network connection as
described by Environment A of the 802.3af standard.
CAUTION! Ensure that you use a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable to supply PoE
power and LAN connectivity running to the outlet box where the AP will be installed.
1 Prepare the electrical outlet box.
2 The 7055 can be mounted to a variety of commonly used electrical outlet box
formats, including US style outlet boxes conforming to NEMA-WD6, and EU style
outlet boxes conforming to BS 4662.
NOTE The 7055 comes with a bracket for a single 1-gang electrical outlet box.
For adjacent outlet boxes, use the optional Ruckus Wireless ZF7055 adjacent wall
bracket kit (part number 902-0111-000).
• Remove the outlet box cover from the outlet box, retaining the original box
cover screws.
• Align the mounting bracket with the outlet box so that the screw holes line
up (the bracket provides multiple holes for different outlet box designs), and
• Pull the Ethernet cable through the center of the mounting bracket.
• Affix the mounting bracket to the outlet box using the original outlet box cover
screws. If the original outlet box screw heads extend over 2mm from the
bracket, then use the enclosed low profile mounting screws instead.
• Run the required cables through the electrical outlet box allowing sufficient
slack for the cables to reach the not yet installed 7055.
3 Connect the cables.
• Connect an Ethernet cable providing PoE power and network connectivity
to the PoE In LAN / Uplink port using either a standard RJ45 connector or
the 110 punch-down block (refer to Using the 110 Punch Down Block).
• If PoE power is not available, the AP can be powered using an optional DC
power adapter (Ruckus part No. 902-0170-XX10, sold separately)
