T750 Access Point
Quick Setup Guide
NOTE: The minimum software revision for the T750 Omni is
ZoneDirector (ZD) 10.4 or later, or SmartZone (SZ) 5.2 or later,
or standalone AP rmware 114.X or later.
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on
how to eld-install the Ruckus Wireless T750 Omni access point
(AP). For detailed information on planning the installation,
performing a site survey, and operating the T750 Omni, 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.
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 T750 Omni.

Mounting Instructions
Connecting and Sealing the RJ-45 Cables
The T750 may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for
Ethernet when congured as a Root AP (RAP), and another when
the T750 is supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a
small cell or micro cell radio. When the T750 uses RJ-45 cables,
connect and seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands as
shown in Figure 2.

WARNING! Do not use any PoE injector not tested and
approved by Ruckus Wireless to power the T750 Access Point.
WARNING! Do not plug PoE IN power into the PoE OUT port.
See Figure 1.
1. Feed the end of the cable through the gland dome, rubber
grommet, clamping ring assembly and cable gland base, as
shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber grommet
into the cable gland base until the cable gland base has
been torqued to specications.

Bracket on page 3.
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 anges. This ensures that the azimuth
adjustment does not change.
2. Loosely assemble the linkage bracket (1), the U-joint bracket
(3), one serrated external-tooth lock washer (2), and one M8
bolt and washer set (4).

bolt, lock washer, at washer, serrated external-tooth washer
and nut shown in the illustration below.
The linkage bracket is symmetrical, and either end can be
attached to the AP bracket.
Loosely assemble the AP bracket to the linkage bracket using the
M8 bolt, washer and nut set.
FIGURE 8 Attach the linkage bracket to the AP bracket
NOTE: Make sure that the linkage bracket is installed with its
serrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside of the AP
bracket anges. This ensures that the 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 9 Attaching the AP bracket to the AP
2. Use four 0.5-inch x 0.250-28 hex bolts with split lock and at
washer sets to mount the AP bracket to the AP. Tighten the
bolts to 2.5-3.0 N.m (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 the Elevation
Bolt on page 3.
Set the Elevation and Tighten the Elevation
Bolt
1. Set the elevation required by the AP.
2. Tighten the M8 bolt to 13.6 N.m (120 in-lbs).
3. Continue with Powering the AP with AC on page 3.
Powering the AP with AC
1. Separate the AC cable connector parts by unscrewing the
boot from the cable gland and the cable gland from the
connector housing..
2. Feed the end of the AC cable through the boot and cable
gland.
3. Strip the AC cable as shown.
4. Insert the stripped part of the conductors into the
appropriate terminals on the connector housing. The
conductors are color coded and must be connected to the
appropriate terminals as shown in gure below.
NOTE: The color coding of wire conductors varies by
region. Before completing this step, check your local
wiring standards for guidance.

terminals.
6. Mate the cable gland with the connector housing, and then
hand-tighten.
NOTE: Two dierent-sized grommets are supplied in the
AC connector assembly kit. Use the grommet that is
appropriate to the diameter of the AC cable that you are
using.
7. Mate the boot with the cable gland, and then hand-tighten to
seal.
8. Connect the AC cord connector that you have assembled to
the AC power socket on the AP.
9. Connect the AC cord to an AC power source.
Earth Grounding the AP
CAUTION! Make sure that earth grounding is available and
that it 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.
Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw/
washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis
ground point.
CAUTION! The T750 AP includes one 9 mm stainless steel M6
x1 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.

Congratulations! You have mounted your T750 access point.
Installing a USB Dongle
To install a USB dongle (such as an IoT radio device), remove the
two 3 mm hex screws, remove the cap, and insert the dongle into
the USB port.
Once installed, replace the cap and the hex screws, and torque
the screws to 0.79 N.m (7 in-lbs).

Installing the Security Cable
1. Thread the security cable through the mounting bracket (1 in
Figure 13) and through the eye on the cable itself (2 in Figure
13).
2. Attach the safety cable to the AP (3 in Figure 13).
FIGURE 13 Attaching the security cable
Troubleshooting
CAUTION! If required, you can reset the AP to its factory
default settings by pressing the reset button located inside the
PoE IN port. Use the tip of a pen or a 3mm at blade
screwdriver to press the reset button. Press and hold the reset
button for 4+ seconds to restore to factory defaults. DO NOT
RESET THE AP TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS UNLESS SO
INSTRUCTED. (Doing this resets the AP IP address to
192.168.0.1.)
NOTE: 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. Refer to the Outdoor Access Point User
Guide for information on conguring and operating the AP.
