Verifying Access Point Operation
Before mounting the unit, Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you verify that the
Access Point is operating correctly. To do this, you will need to connect the Access Point
to your live network temporarily and make sure that the network connection works and
that wireless clients are able to associate with the Access Point and connect to your network
and the Internet.
NOTE: The network and power connections that you will be making in this step are
temporary. You can perform these verification tasks indoor.
Connect the Access Point to the Network
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the RJ45 port on the Access Point to your network's
router or switch.
2. Reconnect the Access Point to your preferred power source:
• If you are using PoE, connect the power adapter to an AC power source.
• If you are using DC power, connect the DC cable to a DC power source.
