Installing the Wireless Bridge
Physical Installation
Deploying the Wireless Bridge
In this step, you will connect the Wireless Bridge to the network from its mounting
location.
Step 1: Complete the Power Connections
Ruckus Wireless recommends using both PoE and DC power for backup in a typical
outdoor installation. For instructions on completing the power connection that you
need to make, refer to the procedures below:
■ Use Power Over Ethernet
■ Use DC Power
Use Power Over Ethernet
1. Take out the PoE injector and the power adapter from the Wireless Bridge
package.
2. Obtain three Cat-5e Ethernet cables. Two of these Ethernet cables must be
outdoor-rated. The cable that connects to the ZoneFlex 7731 must have an outside
diameter of between 5.6 - 6.0mm.
3. Connect one end of the outdoor-rated Cat-5e Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on
the Wireless Bridge, and then connect the other end to the Ethernet surge
protector.
4. Connect one end of another Ethernet cable to another port on the Ethernet surge
protector, and then connect the other end to the AP/BRIDGE port on the PoE
injector.
NOTE: Install the Ethernet surge protector between the Wireless Bridge and the PoE
injector and use two outdoor-rated Ethernet cables for the connections. See Figure
22 for an example.
5. Connect one end of the other Ethernet cable to the NETWORK port on the PoE
injector, and then connect the other end to your network.
6. Connect the power jack to the DC 48V IN connector on the PoE injector.
WARNING: Do not supply power to the Wireless Bridge at this point. You should
connect the Wireless Bridge to a power source only after you finish connecting all
other components in “Step 3: Connect the Wireless Bridge to the Network”

page 35.
