Continue with the following steps:
• Step 1: Collect Tools and Setup Requirements
• Step 2: Connect the AP to Power and Your Network
• Step 3: Log In and Run the Setup Wizard
• Step 4: Customize Your Wireless LANs
• Step 5: Deploy Additional Unleashed Access Points
Step 1: Collect Tools and Setup Requirements
• A computer running Windows 7 (procedures for other operating systems are similar).
• One Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable.
• A Ruckus Wireless 12VDC 902-1169-xx00 AC power adapter (sold separately)
--OR--
an 802.3at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector.
--OR--
an 802.3af-compliant PoE switch or PoE injector.
• NOTE: The AP can operate off of 802.3af power, but the feature set is reduced:
the USB port is disabled, the second (eth1) Ethernet port is disabled, and the 2.4 GHz
transmit power is reduced from 28dBm to 25dBm (aggregate of spatial streams),
and country limits apply.
Note: The PoE switch port must run link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) power over
Ethernet/MDI (PoE+) in order for the Unleashed R710 to operate in full-power mode.
This may require enabling both LLDP and Power via MDI (dot3) on the switch, if
available.
Optional hardware and tools:
• Customer-supplied small padlock with a 3.5mm (0.14") or smaller shackle diameter,
used to fasten the AP to the secure mounting bracket or the T-bar bracket.
• Customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless 902-0120-0000 secure mounting bracket kit:
• If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface using the secure mounting bracket
kit, then you need an electric drill with 4.75mm (3/16") drill bits.
• If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole using the secure mounting bracket
kit, then you will also need a 38.1mm to 63.5mm (1.5" to 2.5") pipe or pole,
two included stainless steel clamps, and hand tools to tighten the clamps.
Continue with Step 2: Connect the AP to Power and Your Network.
Step 2: Connect the AP to Power and Your Network
Note: The AP can use link aggregation control protocol (LACP) to bond the two
physical Ethernet ports together to form a single logical channel. Refer to the
Configuring Link Aggregation (LACP) Using CLI section in the Indoor AP User Guide.
A After removing your Unleashed AP from its package, connect it to your network
switch or router using an Ethernet cable.
B Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP 12VDC port to a protected
power source (B in Figure 2).
Alternatively, connect the 10/100/1000 POE In port to a PoE injector or switch for
both power and network connectivity (A in Figure 2).

C Verify that the PWR LED on the AP is a steady green.
Continue with Step 3: Log In and Run the Setup Wizard.
Step 3: Log In and Run the Setup Wizard
