Unleashed T310s Access
Point
Quick Setup Guide
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on
how to field-install the Ruckus Unleashed T310s access point
(AP). For detailed information on planning the installation,
performing a site survey, and operating the T310s, refer to the
Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Point User Guide , available
at https://support.ruckuswireless.com.
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 T310s.

torqued to spec.
FIGURE 9 RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly
2. Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required
(PoE IN) blanking cap from the AP.
3. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the AP.
4. Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m
or 62 in-lbs.
5. Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-
ring. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully
encloses the rubber O-ring.
6. Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the
cable gland base.
7. Hand-tighten the sealing nut.
Attaching the U-Joint Bracket to the Mounting
Bracket
1. Position the U-joint bracket on the mounting bracket.
NOTE: Mount the U-joint bracket in any direction on the
mounting bracket, preferably to allow AP azimuth
adjustments. Then the AP bracket allows AP elevation
adjustments.
FIGURE 10 U-joint bracket attached horizontally to the mounting
bracket
2. Use four 1/4-28 bolt and washer sets (A) to mount the U-
joint bracket (B) to the mounting bracket (C). Tighten the
bolts to 9.5 N.m (7 ft-lbs).
3. Continue with Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Flat
Surface or Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole .
Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Flat Surface
1. Place the mounting bracket at the location on the flat
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.
FIGURE 11 Mounting bracket flat surface holes
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the flat surface.
3. Drill holes required for the mounting hardware.
NOTE: The hardware required for mounting to a wall
are not included in the mounting kit.
4. Attach the mounting bracket to the flat surface using the
mounting hardware.
5. Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the
hardware to secure the mounting bracket.
6. Continue with Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-
Joint Bracket .
Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole
1. Insert the open end of one steel clamp into the upper two
slots on the mounting bracket.
2. Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower two
slots on the mounting bracket.
NOTE: The clamps can be daisy-chained together to
accommodate larger poles.
3. 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 specifications.
FIGURE 12 Attaching the mounting bracket to a vertical pole
4. Continue with Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-
Joint Bracket .
Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint
Bracket
1. The linkage bracket attaches to the U-joint bracket using
an M8 bolt and washer set. The linkage bracket is
symmetrical, and either end can be attached to the U-joint
bracket.
NOTE: Make sure that linkage bracket is installed with
its serrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside of
the U-joint bracket flanges. This ensures that the
azimuth adjustment does not change.
2. Loosely assemble the linkage bracket (A), the U-joint
bracket (C), one serrated external-tooth lock washer (B),
and one M8 bolt and washer set (D).

elevation adjustment does not change.
Attaching the AP Bracket to the Access Point
1. Place the AP bracket onto the back side of the AP so that
the four larger screw holes on the bracket align with the
four screw holes on the AP.
FIGURE 15 Attaching the AP bracket to the AP
2. Use four 0.5-inch x 0.250-28 hex bolts with split lock and
flat washer sets to mount the AP bracket to the AP.
Tighten the bolts to 2.5-3.0 N.m or 22-27 in-lbs.
CAUTION! Make sure that the screws are no longer
than 0.5 inch. If a screw is longer than 0.5 inch, it can
damage the AP chassis.
NOTE: This kit may include extra screws, nuts and
washers. You may use the extras where required.
3. Continue with Set the Elevation and Tighten Elevation
Bolt .
Set the Elevation and Tighten the Elevation Bolt

purchased separately. The maximum dimensions of the
USB dongle that can be inserted (with the large USB
dongle cap, part # 902-0127-000) are 6 cm x 2 cm x 1.1
cm. Max Power: 450mW (SiLabs EM3578 max current
draw at +20 dBm is 80mA over a 3.3V rail).
