Unleashed E510
AP Module
Quick Setup Guide
The Unleashed E510 is a modular outdoor Access Point
designed for deployment scenarios where the antenna
structure and onboard AP intelligence must be physically
separated.
In addition to this Unleashed E510 AP Module Quick Setup
Guide , the E510 AP also includes the following documents
(please refer to the relevant documents for detailed
information on other E510 modules):

WARNING! Only trained and qualified personnel should be
allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
WARNING! Installation of this equipment must comply with
local and national electrical codes.
CAUTION! Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm
(3”-5”) drip loop in any cable that is attached to the AP or
the building. This will prevent water from running along the
cable and entering the AP or the building where the cable
terminates.
CAUTION! Be sure that grounding is available and that it
meets local and national electrical codes. For additional
lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning
arrestors.
CAUTION! Make sure that proper lightning surge protection
precautions are taken according to local electrical code.
WARNING! Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you
wear eye protection before mounting the AP.

Mounting Scenarios
The E510 is designed for embedded mounting into third-party
structures such as light poles, light fixtures, street furniture,
railway carriages and track side installations.
Surface Mounting
The AP Module supports mounting on a flat surface into which
holes can be drilled.
Use customer-supplied hardware to mount the AP Module to
a flat surface.
FIGURE 6 E510 AP Module flat surface mounting flanges
Pole Mounting
The E510 AP Module can be mounted on a pole with the
E510 AP Module Mounting Bracket (PN# 902-2004-0000).
NOTE: The included hose clamps can support a pole
diameter up to 120mm, when daisy-chained together.
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the AP Module using the
three M4 bracket screws with built-in flat washers and
lock washers included in the bracket kit. Torque screws to
20 in-lbs (2.26 Nm).
NOTE: The AP Module can be mounted either flat to
the pole or side-mounted. The bracket provides holes
to accommodate both scenarios. Side mounting uses
three screws and flat mounting uses two screws.
FIGURE 7 Attaching the bracket to the side of the AP
FIGURE 8 Attaching the bracket to the back of the AP
2. Use the two metal pole clamps to attach the bracket to
the pole. Tighten pole clamp screws to 27 in-lbs. (3.05
Nm).
FIGURE 9 AP Module pole mounting - side
FIGURE 10 AP Module pole mounting - flat
DIN Rail Mounting
The AP Module supports mounting onto DIN Rail brackets via
a separate third-party bracket accessory.
Connecting the AP Module to the Antenna
Module
When a Ruckus Beamflex antenna, such as 902-2101-0000,
is used, the E510 AP Module must be connected to the
Antenna Module using two RF cables and one Control Cable.
NOTE: For Antenna Mounting and Orientation, please refer
to the E510 Antenna Module Quick Setup Guide .
The E510 AP module has two RP-SMA connectors for
antenna RF cables to connect with the external antenna
module. The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi RF signals are carried
between the AP Module and Antenna Module using the two
SMA cables.
The length of the cables depends on the needs of the
installation, and cables are therefore purchased separately to
suit the particular deployment.

Please refer to the E510 Antenna Module Quick Setup Guide
for antenna cable details.
1. Connect the antenna cables to the ANT1 and ANT2
connectors on the AP Module and the Antenna Module
respectively.
FIGURE 11 Connect the AP Module to the Antenna Module
WARNING! Be sure that you connect the correct
antenna cable to the correct port (ANT1 to ANT1, ANT2
to ANT2). Do NOT connect ANT1 to ANT2.
2. Using a torque wrench/screwdriver with an SMA (5/16)
adapter, tighten the antenna cable connectors to 8 in-lbs.
(0.9 N.m).
3. Connect the M12 antenna Control Cable to the M12
connector (female) on the AP module.
4. Connect the other end of the M12 antenna Control Cable
to the M12 connector (male) on the Antenna module.
FIGURE 12 E510 Antenna Module connectors
NOTE: The Control Cable has one male and one female
connector to prevent installing the cable incorrectly.
Power Input
The E510 can accommodate two sources of power, 802.3af
PoE power or 12V‐48V DC.
The E510 can be powered by 802.3af PoE switch or Ruckus-
supplied PoE injector.
Alternately, power can be supplied from a DC power source
using the M8 connector.
When both power sources exist, 12‐48V DC takes priority
over PoE Power.
NOTE: For information on the recommended M8 cable
connectors for the E510, refer to the M8 and M12
Connectors section in Purchased Separately , above.
FIGURE 13 E510 DC power and PoE In ports
Connecting the Ethernet Cable
The E510 has one 10/100/1000 PoE Ethernet port with M12
weatherproof connector.
Connect the Ethernet cable to a 802.3af-compliant PoE
switch or injector to provide both power and network
connectivity.
NOTE: For information on the recommended M12 cable
connectors for the E510, refer to the M8 and M12
Connectors section in Purchased Separately , above.
Factory Reset Button
The Reset button can be accessed by removing the Torx
screw labeled RESET.
Use a T10 Security Torx screwdriver or bit to remove the Torx
screw covering the Reset button.
Insert a pin or similar object less than 2.5 mm in diameter into
the reset hole to reboot or factory reset the device.
Press and release the reset button to reboot the AP. Press and
hold the reset button for 4+ seconds to restore to factory
defaults.
FIGURE 14 Remove Torx screw to access Reset button
CAUTION! Remember to replace the Torx screw covering
the Reset button after use. Insert the screw and torque to 4
in-lbs. (0.45 Nm).
USB Port
E510 has one USB 2.0 port as an M8 IP67 connector
(Female). This port provides both a data connection and
power output for an IoT device such as a BLE Smart Beacon
or ZigBee dongle.
A USB cable with an M8 connector at one end and a USB 2.0
Type-A connector at the other end can be attached to the
female M8 connector on the E510 AP module.
A USB Module Accessory can be purchased separately, and
comes with a 3m USB cable (Ruckus PN# 902-2003-0000).
NOTE: Please refer to the E510 USB Cable Quick Setup
Guide for more information.
