RG-AP630 (IDA&IODA) Overview The RG-AP630(IDA) is built-in with a directional antenna while the RG-AP630(IODA) is built-in with an omnidirectional antenna . The two product forms have the same appearance and are identified as RG-AP630(IDA) RG-AP630(IODA), which are indicated on product labels and nameplates.

Interfaces Interfaces on the front panel 2.4 GHz port 5 GHz port The AP630 has three 2.4 GHz feeder interfaces on one side and three 5 GHz feeder interfaces on the other side, (1) 2.4 GHz feeder interface which can be used to connect to an external antenna. ...
Specifications Product model RG-AP630 (IDA) RG-AP630 (IODA) Dimensions (L x W x H) 276 mm x 246 mm x 90 mm Maximum transmission rate 1.75 Gbps Operating band 802.11b/g/n: 2.4–2.483 GHz; 802.11ac/a/n: 5.15–5.85 GHz Maximum transmit power 27 dBm Antenna type Built-in directional antenna (support Built-in omnidirectional antenna internal/external antenna switching)
Main Accessories Product support Horizontal support Wall mounting support Cross recessed hexagon Clamp (78–101 Yellow and green machine screws NOTE: If the clamp delivered with the ground cable product does not fit the pole, the M8X20 and M8X40 customer needs to use other clamp with the proper dimensions.
Status Indicators The RG-AP630 (IDA&IODA) has a SYS indicator and three RSSIs, with the latter being used only when the AP works in bridge mode (in a point-to-multipoint bridge network, the RSSIs on other bridge APs than the root bridge AP are used as reference).

New Product Planning RG-AP630 (CD&CA&CE) The following three products will be launched after the AP630: AP630 (CD): is built-in with a directional antenna and supports dual spatial streams, but does not support an external antenna. AP630 (CA): is built-in with an omnidirectional antenna and supports dual spatial streams, but does not support an external antenna.

Wired Direct Connection Topology – Coverage (IODA) Network features: In a wired direct connection topology, APs are directly connected to a switch or an AC via cables. APs are mainly used to provide wireless network coverage. The built-in omnidirectional antenna of an AP can provide coverage in a spacious environment such as a square.
Page 17
Non-Wired Direct Connection Topology – Point-to- Multipoint WDS Bridging (IDA) Network features: APs are connected in wireless mode. That is, two or more fixed local area Network networks (LANs) are interconnected cable through bridge APs. In a WDS bridge network, one root Bridge link bridge can be connected to four non-root...

Non-Wired Direct Connection Topology – Multihop WDS Bridging (IDA) Network features: In a multihop bridge network, each node (hop) forwards data through two APs (which are connected by a network cable). Network cable The 5 GHz RF card is recommended for Root bridge AP bridging because the 2.4 GHz RF card is vulnerable to interference and has low...

Wired Direct Connection Scenario – Coverage (IDA) Application scenarios: outdoor squares, beaches, downtown areas, and stadiums Installation conditions: It is recommended that APs be installed on poles (with a diameter of 80–100 mm). The installation height of a built-in directional antenna can be adjusted based on the actual condition.

Non-Wired Direct Connection Scenario – Point-to- Multipoint WDS Bridging and Multihop WDS Bridging (IDA) Application scenarios: parks, energy plants, mines, and scenarios with data backhaul Installation conditions: It is recommended that APs be installed on poles (with a diameter of 80–100 mm).
Page 23
Design Principles for Outdoor Wireless Deployment It is recommended that APs be installed on poles with a diameter of 80–100 mm. If the pole diameter exceeds this range, clamps of different models are required. The maximum coverage distance of a single AP is as follows: IDA: 250 m for 2.4 GHz (200 m for 5 GHz);...

Connecting Cables (Mandatory) Connecting a ground cable The ground cable needs to be installed at the installation site. A yellow and green ground cable is delivered with each AP. Connect one end of the ground cable through an OT terminal to the ground hole on the AP, and connect the other end through another OT terminal to the ground.
Page 30
Important Notes of Engineering Outdoor APs are generally install at height. Therefore, each cable must be labeled at both ends and recorded to facilitate subsequent commissioning, maintenance, and inspection. When you install an AP, fasten the screws on various supports properly and check that the AP does not shake when being gently shaked.
Page 31
Important Notes of Acceptance To reduce the cost of secondary engineering or rectification, pay attention to the following important notes of acceptance during the installation and commissioning processes: Installation acceptance: The installation height and angle of APs comply with the specifications in an engineering scheme.

Troubleshooting Symptom: Power-on fails. Possible causes: The power supply of the power box is abnormal. The power cable of the AP is abnormal. The power module of the AP is abnormal. Handling procedure: 1. Check whether the power supply of the power box is normal. 2.
Page 34
The optical module is abnormal. Handling procedure: 1. Replace the original optical fiber or optical module with a normal one to verify the cause. 2. Check whether the optical module is certified by Ruijie Networks and has normal attributes (rate, distance, and wavelength).
