T305i Access Point
Quick Setup Guide
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on
how to install the Ruckus Wireless T305i access point (AP). For
detailed information on planning the installation, performing a
site survey, and operating the T305i, refer to the Ruckus Wireless
Outdoor Access Point User Guide, available at https://
support.ruckuswireless.com.
WARNING! Only trained and qualied personnel should be
allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
CAUTION! Installation of this equipment must comply with
local and national electrical codes.
CAUTION! Form a 80-mm to 130-mm (3-in. to 5-in.) 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! Make sure that proper lightning surge protection
precautions are taken according to local electrical code.
CAUTION! Ruckus strongly recommends that you wear eye
protection before mounting the T305i.

Mounting Instructions
Connecting and Sealing the RJ-45 Cables
The T305i has one port for PoE and one port for Console.
WARNING! Do not plug in the PoE input in the console port.
NOTE: The cable gland for the PoE port comes installed at the
factory. Remove the rubber cord from the cable gland and
connect and seal the RJ-45 cables using the M25 data cable
gland.

1. Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-
ring, clamping ring assembly, and cable gland base, as
shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber O-ring
into the cable gland base until the cable gland base has
been torqued to specications.

4. Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring.
Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the
rubber O-ring.
5. Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the
cable gland base.
6. Hand-tighten the sealing nut.
Connecting and Sealing the Console Port
The RJ-45 Console port is available to the user for debugging the
AP.
1. The port of the console connector is covered with a blanking
cap. To access the console port, remove the blanking cap, as
shown in Figure 3, with a wide at-blade screwdriver.
NOTE: The console port should never be left uncovered.
In the absence of a cable, it must be covered with a
blanking cap.
2. Connect the console cable to the console connector.
3. Once the console work is completed, remove the console
cable, reinstall the blanking cap, and tighten to 0.6779 N.m
or 6 in-lb.
If the console cable is used for a prolonged period or
permanently installed, a cable gland must be used.
NOTE: To place an order for the M25 cable gland, refer to
the T305 SERIES Outdoor 802.11ac Wave 2 2x2:2 Wi-Fi
Outdoor Access Point Datasheet.
Using a Cable Gland with the Console Port or
Cable
1. Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-
ring, clamping ring assembly, and cable gland base, as
shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber O-ring
into the cable gland base until the cable gland base has
been torqued to specications.

2. Connect the cable to the console port on the AP, as shown in
Figure 3.
3. Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or
62 in-lbs.
4. Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring.
Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the
rubber O-ring.
5. Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the
cable gland base.
6. Hand-tighten the sealing nut.
Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Flat
Surface
1. The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a captive
screw. Use a medium at-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
to loosen the captive screw, as shown in Figure 4, and pull up
on the end of the bracket to remove the bracket from the AP,
as shown in Figure 4.
FIGURE 4 Removing the Mounting Bracket

2 - Mounting bracket
2. Using either of the two options shown in Figure 5, hold the
mounting bracket at the location on the mounting surface
where you want to mount the AP. Use the holes on the
mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the
mounting holes.
NOTE: The mounting bracket can be mounted to a vertical
or horizontal surface to support the AP in the required
orientation.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole
1. The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a captive
screw. Loosen the screw and pull up on the end of the
bracket to remove the bracket from the AP, as shown in
Figure 4.
2. Insert the open end of one steel clamp into two of the slots
on the mounting bracket.
NOTE: The mounting bracket can be mounted to a vertical
or horizontal pole to support the AP in the required
orientation.
3. Using either of the two options shown, use the clamps to
attach the mounting bracket to the pole. Tighten the clamps
to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s specications if
the factory-supplied clamps are not used.
4. If necessary, daisy-chain the other steel clamps to
accommodate larger poles.
FIGURE 6 Mounting Bracket on a Pole
5. Continue with Mounting the AP on page 3.
Mounting the AP
1. Snap the AP back onto the mounting bracket, as shown in
Figure 7, and use a medium at-blade or No. 2 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the captive screw to 1.1 N.m or 10 in-
lbs to secure the bracket to the AP, as shown in Figure 7.
FIGURE 7 Attaching the Mounting Bracket to the AP
1 - Mounting bracket
2 - Captive screw
2. Optional Step: For additional security, install a customer-
supplied security screw, as shown in Figure 8. The security
screw should be an M3 6-mm panhead screw.
CAUTION! Make sure that the customer-supplied locking
stainless steel M3 panhead security screw is no longer
than 6 mm. If the security screw is longer than 6 mm, it
can damage the AP chassis.
FIGURE 8 Locking the Mounting Bracket to the AP
Earth Grounding the AP
Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw and
washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis
ground point.
CAUTION! Be sure that grounding is available and meets local
and national electrical codes. For additional lightning
protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
NOTE: The color coding of ground wires varies by region.
Before completing this step, check your local wiring standards
for guidance.
CAUTION! The T305i AP includes one 9 mm stainless steel
M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and at washers.
Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than 9
mm. If a screw is longer than 9 mm, it can damage the AP
chassis.

Troubleshooting
If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default settings by
pressing the reset button located inside the PoE port. Use the tip
of a pen or a 3-mm at-blade screwdriver to press the reset
button. Press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds or longer
to restore to factory defaults.
CAUTION! Do not reset the AP to factory default settings
unless so instructed. (Doing this resets the AP IP address to
192.168.0.1.)
After a reset, you can access the internal AP web interface using
https://192.168.0.1. Your device must use any other address from
192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254, with subnet mask
255.255.255.0. The username is super, and the password is sp-
admin.
