T350se Access Point
Quick Setup Guide
NOTE: The minimum soware revision for the T350se is
ZoneDirector (ZD) 10.5 or later, or SmartZone (SZ) 6.0 or later.
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instrucons on how
to eld-install the RUCKUS T350se Access Point (AP). For detailed
informaon on planning the installaon, performing a site survey,
and operang the T350se, refer to the RUCKUS Outdoor Access
Point User Guide, available at hps://support.ruckuswireless.com.
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 before mounng the T350se.

either end can be aached to the U-joint bracket.
NOTE: Make sure that the 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.

aached 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 elevaon
adjustment does not change.
Aaching 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 11 Aaching the AP Bracket to the AP

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.

Published November 2021, Part Number 800-72897-001 Rev A

Powering the AP with DC Power
The AP can draw power from the Ethernet input as a Class 4
device, providing a maximum of 22W to the system. Alternately,
power can be supplied through a customer-provided 12V DC
power supply (12V DC preferred, 7-20V DC acceptable) that will
connect to a two-pin terminal block. The terminal block is
accessible through a water-ght gland on one end of the unit. The
terminal block connecon has surge and polarity protecon to
protect against inserng the wrong polarity leads into the
terminal block.
NOTE: If both the PoE and DC ports are used, separate cable
glands must be used for each port. Addional cable gland (Part
Number 902-0183-0000) can be be purchased.
NOTE: When both the 12V DC and the 48V PoE power are
acve, the AP will priorize the 12V DC power.
CAUTION! Ensure that the DC power source does not exceed
20V DC.
1. Install the DC power supply as described in the DC Power
Supply Installaon Guide.
2. Connect the DC 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 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 T350se 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.

Installing a USB Dongle
To install a USB dongle (for example, an IoT radio device such as
BLE, 802.15.4, Z-wave, or similar), 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 ghten
the screws to 0.79 N.m or 7 in-lbs.
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. The USB port
supports 2.5W.
FIGURE 13 Installing a USB Dongle
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.
