Unleashed T310d Access
Point
Quick Setup Guide
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on
how to field-install the Ruckus Unleashed T310d access point
(AP). For detailed information on planning the installation,
performing a site survey, and operating the T310d, 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 T310d.

Mounting Instructions
Connecting And Sealing the RJ-45 Cables
Connect and seal the RJ-45 cable(s) using the M25 data
cable glands shown in the Figure below.
WARNING! Do not use any PoE injector not tested and
approved by Ruckus Wireless to power the T310d Access
Point.
FIGURE 6 T310d LEDs and Ports
1. Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber
O-ring, clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as
shown.
NOTE: Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber O-ring
into the gland body until the gland body has been
torqued to spec.
FIGURE 7 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 Mounting Bracket To A Flat
Surface
1. The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a
captive screw. Use a medium flat-blade or No. 2 Phillips
screwdriver to loosen the captive screw (A in the Figure
below) and pull up on the end of the bracket to remove
the bracket from the AP (B in the Figure below).

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.
FIGURE 9 Mounting bracket on a flat surface
3. Remove the mounting bracket from the mounting surface.
4. Drill holes required for the customer-supplied mounting
hardware.
5. Attach the mounting bracket to the flat surface using the
mounting hardware.
6. Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the
hardware to secure the mounting bracket.
7. Continue with Mounting the AP.
Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole
1. The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a
captive screw. Loosen the screw (A in Figure 4) and pull
up on the end of the bracket to remove the bracket from
the AP (B in the Figure above).
2. Insert the open end of one steel clamp (D in the Figure
above) 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 clamp(s) to
attach the mounting bracket to the pole. Tighten the
clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s
specifications if the factory-supplied clamps are not used.
4. If necessary, daisy-chain the other steel clamps to
accommodate larger poles.
FIGURE 10 Mounting bracket on a pole
5. Continue with Mounting the AP.
Mounting the AP
1. Snap the AP back onto the mounting bracket (A in the
Figure below), and use a medium flat-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 (B).
FIGURE 11 Attaching the mounting bracket to the AP
2. Optional Step: If you also need to lock the mounting
bracket to the AP, then use a matching security
screwdriver to screw the customer-supplied locking
stainless steel 6mm M3 panhead security screw through
the mounting bracket and into the AP chassis.
CAUTION! Make sure that the customer-supplied
locking stainless steel M3 panhead security screw is no
longer than 6mm. If the security screw is longer than
6mm, it can damage the AP chassis.
FIGURE 12 Locking the mounting bracket to the AP
You have completed mounting the AP to the mounting
bracket.
Powering the AP with DC
The AP can accommodate two sources of power – PoE (48V)
power and 12V DC.
The AP can draw power from the Ethernet input as a class 3
device, providing a maximum of 12.95W to the system.
Alternately, power can be supplied through a customer-
provided 12V DC power supply (7-20V DC acceptable) that
will connect to a two pin terminal block. The terminal block is
accessible through a water-tight gland on one end of the unit.
The terminal block connection has surge and polarity
protection to protect against inserting the wrong polarity leads
into the terminal block.
NOTE: When both the 12V DC and the 48V PoE power are
active, the AP will prioritize the 12VDC power.
1. Install the DC power supply as described in the DC power
supply accessory installation guide.
2. Connect the power cord to a DC power source.
3. Verify that the PWR LED is a steady green.
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 T310d AP includes one 9mm stainless steel
M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers.
Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than
9mm. If a screw is longer than 9mm, it can damage the AP
chassis.

Congratulations! You have mounted your T310d access point.
Installing a USB Dongle
To install a USB dongle (such as an IoT radio device such as
BLE, 802.15.4, Z-wave or similar), remove the two 3mm 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 7 in-lbs (0.79 Nm).
NOTE: If required, a larger USB dongle cap can be
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).
