Continue with the following steps:
• Step 1: Collecting Setup Requirements, Hardware, and Tools
• Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
• Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup
• Step 4: Logging Into the AP
• Step 5: Customizing the Wireless Settings
• Step 6: Placing the AP in Your Site
• Step 7: Verifying the Installation
Step 1: Collecting Setup Requirements, Hardware,
and Tools
• A computer running Windows 7 (procedures for common operating systems are
similar).
• One Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable.
• A Ruckus Wireless 48VDC power adapter (sold separately).
--OR--
An 802.3at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector.
• --OR--
An 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector
.
Note: If powered by 802.3af PoE, note that the feature set is
reduced, as follows:
- 1 x 4 radio chain operation mode
- Second Ethernet port disabled
- USB port disabled
Note: The PoE switch port must run link layer discovery protocol
(LLDP) power over Ethernet/MDI (PoE+) in order for the R720 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.
Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
A After removing your AP from its package, place it next to your computer.
B Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer's network port to the 2.5G Eth PoE
In port on the AP (A in Figure 2).
C Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP 48VDC port (B in Figure 2) to
a convenient (and protected) power source.
Alternatively, connect the 2.5G Eth PoE In port to a PoE injector or switch for both
power and network connectivity.

D Verify that the PWR LED on the AP is a steady green.
Continue with Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup.
Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup
Note: The following procedures assume Windows 7 as the
operating system. Procedures for other operating systems are
similar.
A On your Windows 7 computer, configure your network adapter from the Local Area
Connection settings as follows:
Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change
Adapter Settings
B 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.
IMPORTANT!
Write down all of the currently active settings so you can restore
your computer to its current configuration later (when this process
is complete).
C 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
• Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Leave the DNS server fields empty.
