Overview of the Ruckus Access Point
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ruckus AP!
Ruckus APs are the industry's most easy to use, yet robust and feature-rich Wi-Fi APs designed to bring power and simplicity
together for large-scale indoor deployments.
Your Ruckus AP uses BeamFlex, a patented antenna technology that allows wireless signals to navigate around interference,
extend wireless signal range, and increase speeds and capacity for wireless networks. The BeamFlex antenna system consists of
an array of high-gain directional antenna elements that allow Ruckus APs to find quality signal paths in a changing environment,
and sustain the baseline performance required for supporting data, audio and video applications.
Your Ruckus AP can be deployed in standalone mode, or as part of a Ruckus Smart WLAN system, in which it can be managed by
a Ruckus ZoneDirector, SmartZone or Ruckus Cloud controller, or in a controller-less deployment as a member of an Unleashed
network.
NOTE
For more information on the Ruckus controller and controller-less solutions and technologies, visit

Installing the Access Point
This User Guide assumes that the Ruckus Wireless outdoor APs have already been installed and have already been initially
configured as described in the corresponding Quick Setup Guide, Getting Started Guide, Mounting Guide or Installation Guide.
NOTE
DO NOT connect the AP to your live network when first connecting the AP to an administrative computer. If you connect
it to a live network with an active DHCP server, then the AP can acquire a new IP address from DHCP and you will be
unable to access it via the default IP address (192.168.0.1). If the AP has a new IP address, then reset the AP to the
factory configuration as described in the corresponding mounting or installation guide.
Because of different mounting and wiring procedures, each outdoor AP model has its own Quick Setup Guide, Getting Started
Guide, Mounting Guide or Installation Guide. Refer to the guide(s) that shipped with your product for model-specific installation
instructions. These documents are available from support.ruckuswireless.com.
