About Peripheral Devices
The C110 can supply power to USB devices through its
USB port on the bottom of the unit.
• The USB port is intended for low-power devices such
as BLE (Bluetooth low energy) beacons. The maximum
power that the USB port can supply is 0.5W.
STEP 1: CONFIGURING THE CABLE MODEM
(OPTIONAL)
NOTE:The C110 normally receives its latest WLAN AP and
CM firmware and initial configuration settings from the
Ruckus WLAN controller and cable modem termination
system (CMTS) high speed data services equipment,
respectively, when it powers up; if this is the case, then
skip the following steps and continue with Step 6: Attaching the
Mounting Bracket to an Outlet Box.
If the WLAN AP in the C110 does not receive its latest
firmware and initial configuration settings from the Ruckus
WLAN controller when the AP powers up, or if the WLAN
AP will be operating in a standalone mode, then continue
with these procedures:
•Step 2: Connecting the Computer to the C110
•Step 3: Preparing Your Computer for C110 Setup
•Step 4: Logging Into the C110 Access Point
•Step 5: Customizing the Wireless Settings
STEP 2: CONNECTING THE COMPUTER TO THE C110
NOTE: The following instructions are for configuring the
C110’s wireless interfaces. If your C110 will receive its
configuration settings from the CMTS/Ruckus WLAN
controller, then skip these steps and proceed to Step 6:
Attaching the Mounting Bracket to an Outlet Box.
NOTE: For this step you will need a computer with an
Ethernet port, wireless card and a web browser.

1After removing your C110 from its package, place it
next to your computer.
2Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s net-
work port to either of the Ethernet ports on the bottom
of the C110.
3Using an AC adapter (included), connect the C110
12VDC port to a protected power source.
NOTE: The C110 requires a minimum firmware revision
of SmartZone 3.4.1 or later, or ZoneDirector 9.13.3 or
later to operate.

should be directly connected to your computer (through the
Ethernet port on the bottom of the C110) and powered on,
ready for setup.

Figure 3: Mounting bracket
NOTE: The following procedures assume Windows 7
as the operating system. Procedures for other OS’s are
similar.
IMPORTANT! Write down all of the currently active
settings so you can restore your computer to its
current configuration later, when this process is
complete.
Default C110 Access Point Settings (for your reference)
Network Names (SSIDs) Wireless1-Wireless8

Optional: In a default C110 configuration, the C110 uses
a DHCP-assigned IP address.
If you anticipate logging into the C110 regularly to
perform monitoring or maintenance once it is in place,
then you may want to consider switching from DHCP
and instead assigning a static IP address to the C110.
AOn the menu, click Configuration > Internet.
BClick the Static IP option.
CFill in the IP Address and Mask fields.
DClick Update Settings to save your changes.
NOTE: If an outlet box is not available, Ruckus offers a
C110 Spacer Bracket Kit (part #902-0124-0000) that
provides options for mounting to a wall without an
outlet box.

2Using the four 1” 6-32 Phillips mounting screws, attach
the C110 mounting bracket to a single-gang wall outlet
box.
3Pull the coaxial cable for the C110 through the wall out-
let box.
4Pull the power cable from the adapter through the wall
outlet box.
5Pull any bypass cables (up to two) through the wall out-
let box. Note: The bypass cables can be Ethernet, coax,
or any other type of cable, as required.
STEP 7: ATTACHING THE C110 TO THE MOUNTING
BRACKET
1Make sure that the mounting bracket is securely fas-
tened as described in Step 6: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to an
Outlet Box.
2If you are installing a USB device (such as a BLE bea-
con), then plug it securely into the USB jack on the bot-
tom of the C110.
3Pull the uplink coaxial cable from your network through
the outlet box, and plug it into the back of the C110.
4Connect the power adapter cable to the 12VDC in port
on the back of the C110.
5The mounting bracket has two lower hooks that fit into
slots on the bottom of the C110. Rest the bottom of the
C110 on those hooks, and then tilt the C110 toward the
wall until it is up against the mounting bracket. Any
optional bypass cable(s) should slide smoothly into the
slots on the bottom panel of the C110.
Figure 4: Attaching the C110 to the Mounting Bracket
6Use a T10 Torx driver to screw the two white torx
machine screws through the C110 screw holes into the
threaded inserts on the sides of the mounting bracket.
Figure 5: Insert the torx screws to lock the AP to the bracket
STEP 8: TESTING THE C110 OPERATION
After a short pause to re-establish the Internet connection,
you can test the C110.
NOTE: As Ruckus does not provide the CMTS side of the
connection, the installer must first ensure that the cable
modem connection to the CMTS is resolved prior to calling
Ruckus Support.
1Check that the cable modem LEDs are lit. Cable
modem LEDs are labeled DS (downstream), US
(upstream) and ONLINE.
2Using any wireless-enabled computer or mobile device,
search for and select the wireless network you previ-
ously configured (or auto-configured by CMTS).
3If you can connect, open a browser and navigate to any
public website.
4Using any wired computer or other device and an Ether-
net cable, plug into an Ethernet port on the bottom of
the C110.
5Open a browser and navigate to any public website.
6Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 for the rest of the Ethernet ports
on the bottom of the C110.
7Verify that any connected USB devices are working cor-
rectly, if applicable.
Congratulations! Your C110 is active and ready for use.
For more information on AP configuration, maintenance
and administration, refer to the Ruckus Wireless Indoor
Access Point User Guide, available from

NOTE: The mounting bracket has two hooks that face
UP. Make sure that the hooks are facing up when
attaching the mounting bracket to the wall outlet box.
