About Peripheral Devices
The C110 can supply power to USB devices through its USB port on the
boom 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: Conguring the Cable Modem (Oponal)
NOTE: The C110 normally receives its latest WLAN AP and CM rmware
and inial conguraon sengs from the Ruckus WLAN controller and
cable modem terminaon system (CMTS) high speed data services
equipment, respecvely, when it t powers up; if this is the case, then
skip the following steps and connue with Step 6: Aaching the
Mounng Bracket to an Outlet t Box.
If the WLAN AP in the C110 does not receive its latest rmware and inial

•Step 2: Connecng 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 Sengs
STEP 2: CONNECTING THE COMPUTER TO THE
C110
NOTE: The following instrucons are for conguring the C110’s wireless
interfaces. If your C110 will receive its conguraon sengs from the
CMTS/Ruckus WLAN controller, then skip these steps and proceed to
Step 6: Aaching the Mounng Bracket to an Outlet Box.
NOTE: For this step you will need a computer with an Ethernet port,
