WARNING! Only trained and qualied personnel should be allowed to
install, replace, or service this equipment.
WARNING! Installaon of this equipment must comply with local and
naonal electrical codes.
CAUTION! Form a 80-mm to 130-mm (3-in. to 5-in.) drip loop in any
cable that is aached 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 naonal electrical codes. For addional lightning protecon, use
lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
CAUTION! Make sure that proper lightning surge protecon
precauons are taken according to local electrical code.
CAUTION! RUCKUS strongly recommends that you wear eye protecon

Omni Antenna Coverage
The AP (ordering part number 901-Txxx-xx-01) is best deployed where
internal-antenna lateral beamforming can provide the greatest reach and
throughput to a wide coverage area, or to provide the greatest distance
between APs in a connecng mesh device. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for a
typical side view coverage paern, see Figure 4 for a typical mesh coverage
paern, and see Figure 5 for a typical top view coverage paern.

Aaching the Mounng Bracket to a Flat Surface
1. The AP mounng bracket aaches to the AP using a capve screw.
Use a medium at-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the
capve screw, as shown in Figure 8, and pull up on the end of the
bracket to remove the bracket from the AP, as shown in Figure 8.
FIGURE 8 Removing the Mounng Bracket
1. Loosen the capve
screw
2. Pull up on the end of the
bracket
2. Using either of the two opons shown in Figure 9, hold the mounng
bracket at the locaon on the mounng surface where you want to
mount the AP. Use the holes on the mounng bracket as a template
to mark the locaons of the mounng holes.
NOTE: The mounng bracket can be mounted to a vercal or
horizontal surface to support the AP in the required orientaon.

6. Using the mounng hardware instrucons, ghten the hardware to
secure the mounng bracket.
7. Connue with Mounng the AP on page 3.
Aaching the Mounng Bracket to a Pole
1. The AP mounng bracket aaches to the AP using a capve screw.
Loosen the screw and pull up on the end of the bracket to remove the
bracket from the AP, as shown in Figure 8 on page 2.
2. Insert the open end of one steel clamp into two of the slots on the
mounng bracket.
NOTE: The mounng bracket can be mounted to a vercal or
horizontal pole to support the AP in the required orientaon.
3. Using either of the two opons shown, use the clamps to aach the
mounng bracket to the pole. Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-
lbs, or per manufacturer’s specicaons if the factory-supplied
clamps are not used.
4. If necessary, daisy-chain the other steel clamps to accommodate
larger poles.

Mounng the AP
1. Snap the AP back onto the mounng bracket, as shown in Figure 11,
and use a medium at-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to ghten
the capve screw to 1.1 N.m or 10 in-lbs to secure the bracket to the
AP, as shown in Figure 11.
FIGURE 11 Aaching the Mounng Bracket to the AP
1. Snap the AP to the
mounng bracket
2. Tighten the capve
screw
2. Oponal Step: If you also need to lock the mounng bracket to the
AP, then use an appropriately sized screwdriver to screw the
customer-supplied locking stainless steel 6-mm M3 panhead security
screw through the mounng bracket and into the AP chassis.
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.

Earth Grounding the AP
CAUTION! Make sure that earth grounding is available and that it meets
local and naonal electrical codes. For addional lightning protecon,
use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
NOTE: The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before
compleng this step, check your local wiring standards for guidance.
Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw and washer set,
connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis ground point.
CAUTION! The T350c 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.

Troubleshoong
CAUTION! If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default
sengs by pressing the reset buon located inside the PoE IN port. Use
the p of a pen or a 3-mm at-blade screwdriver to press the reset
buon. Press and hold the reset buon for 4 seconds or longer 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: Aer a reset, you can access the internal AP web interface using
hps://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 informaon on conguring and
operang the AP. This document is available at hps://
