Access Point

This Quick Setup Guide describes in step-by-step detail how to
set up a Ruckus Wireless ZF2925 Access Point (AP), serving users
in a wi-fi hotspot. The process includes reconfiguring your PC/
laptop to connect to the Ruckus AP through the Ruckus Wireless
Web Admin Interface. At the conclusion of setup, you can place
and connect your hotspot AP at your site and put it in use.
Package Contents
• One ZF2925 Access Point
• One 1-meter/3-foot Cat5 Ethernet cable
• One AC power adapter
• One wall-mounting kit, plus printed instructions
• One Quick Setup Guide (this publication)
Required Equipment
• A PC or laptop running Windows 2000 or Windows XP
• A modem (DSL or cable), E1/T1 router, or other device pro-
vided by your Internet Service Provider, that brings web
access to your site.
• A network switch or a VLAN-capable DSL/Internet gateway

Important!
ALERT! Before starting this process, inspect your net-
work switch and confirm that it supports the 802.1Q proto-
col. The Ruckus Wireless Hotspot Access Point requires a
VLAN-capable (802.1Q) switch.
1 Connecting the Ruckus AP to your PC
1
After unpacking your Ruckus Wireless AP from the package,
place it next to your PC/laptop.
2
Temporarily disconnect your PC/laptop from any local net-
work (if connected).
3
Using the Ethernet cable provided in the Ruckus package,
connect your PC/laptop network port to one of the four
LAN ports on the AP.
• Do not connect the cable to the AP WAN port. Instead,
connect it to any of the other ports (labelled "1-4") on
the back of the AP—as shown below.
4
Using the AC adapter included in the package, con-
nect the AP to a convenient (and protected) power
source. After a minute, verify that the AP's Power
LED (shown right) is a steady green.
2 Preparing your PC for AP Setup
1
On your Windows 2000 or XP PC, open the Network Con-
nections (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

When the Network Connections window appears (XP or
2000), right-click the icon for "Local Area Connection" and
choose Properties.
ALERT!—Make sure you don't open the Properties dialog
box for the wireless network.

appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the scroll-
ing list, and click Properties.

tings so you can restore your computer to its current con-
figuration later (when this process is complete).

active) and make the following entries:
