Connect The Access Point To A Power Source And The Network; Troubleshooting Installation - Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7982 User Manual

2. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source and
the Network
Once you have placed the Access Point at its installation location, you are ready to
connect it to a power source and the network.
NOTE: If your ZoneFlex model supports PoE, you can also supply power to the AP
from a PoE switch or injector. For information on how to make the PoE connections,
refer to the documentation that was shipped with the PoE switch or injector.
If you will be using PoE, you must use a Cat-5e or better Ethernet cable
CAUTION:
for the PoE connection.
1. Connect the power jack to the power connector on the rear panel of your ZoneFlex
Access Point.
2. Connect the power adapter to a power source.
3. Obtain an Ethernet cable that is long enough to connect the Access Point to your
network's router, switch, or hub.
4. Connect one end to a LAN port on the AP, and then connect the other end to your
network's router, switch, or hub.
5. Verify that the power LED on the Access Point is green.
Congratulations! You have completed setting up the Access Point on your network.

Troubleshooting Installation

If the startup sequence does not work, verify that the network name (SSID) and security
settings (if you enabled them) on the AP match the settings on your wireless device.
Disconnect the AP from the power source, wait 5 seconds, reconnect it, and then
■
wait 60 seconds before attempting a reconnection.
Disconnect and reconnect the AP and the PC.
■
Replace the Ethernet cable with a new one if the relevant LAN port LED is not
■
illuminated. (LEDs in each port light up during a successful connection.)
If all else fails, you can reset the AP to its factory defaults (and start over).
1. Insert a straightened-out paper clip into the reset button hole.
2. Press and hold the Reset button for at least eight (8) seconds.
You can now reconnect your computer directly to the AP (as described in
the Access Point to the Administrative Computer"
with installation, using the default network settings.
