bracket or the T-bar bracket.
• Customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless 902-0120-0000 secure

• If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole using the
secure mounting bracket kit, then you will also need a

port to the 10/100/1000 POE In port on the AP (A in Figure 2
).
3 Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP 12VDC
port (B in Figure 2
) to a convenient (and protected) power
source.
Alternatively, connect the 10/100/1000 POE In port to a PoE
injector or switch for both power and network connectivity.

• Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing
Center > Change Adapter Settings
2 Edit the TCP/IPv4 address settings as follows:
• Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties
The Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog
box appears.
3 Select Use the following IP address (if it is not already
selected) and then make the following entries:
• IP address: 192.168.0.22 (or any available address in the
192.168.0.x network, except 192.168.0.1)
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
