Step 1: Collecting Setup Requirements, Hardware
and Tools
• Admin PC (computer with an Ethernet port and Wi-Fi adapter)
• Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable
• Ruckus Wireless 48VDC power adapter (sold separately) or 802.3at-
compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector
NOTE: The PoE switch port must run link layer discovery protocol
(LLDP) power over Ethernet/MDI (PoE+) in order for the R850 to
operate in full-power mode. This may require enabling both LLDP
and Power via MDI (dot3) on the switch, if available.
NOTE: If powered by 802.3at PoE, note that the feature set is
reduced, as follows:
– 4x4 (2.4GHz) + 4x4 (5GHz) chain operation mode (reduced from
4x4 (2.4GHz) + 8x8 (5GHz) under full power)
NOTE: The recommended PoE injector for the R850 is GRT-480125A
(60W power rating and 1 Gbps link speed). If using the
recommended PoE injector, you must 1) manually select AT+ mode
as the power mode in the SmartZone/ZoneDirector GUI, and 2) force
1Gbps link speed on the switch.
Optional hardware and tools:
でご覧 • Customer-supplied small padlock with a 3.5-mm (0.14-in.) 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:
https://
– If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface using the secure
mounting bracket kit, then you need an electric drill with 4.75-mm
(3/16-in.) 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 38.1-mm to 63.5-mm
(1.5-in. to 2.5-in.) pipe or pole, two pole clamps, and hand tools to
tighten the clamps.
Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
http://
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer's network port to
the 5G ETH PoE port on the AP (1 in the Figure below).
2. Using a DC power adapter (sold separately), connect the AP's 48 VDC
port (2 in the Figure below) to a convenient and protected power
source.
NOTE: Alternatively, connect the 5G ETH PoE port to a PoE injector
or switch for both power and network connectivity.
