Mounting Instructions
The following section provides instructions for connecting,
attaching, and mounting the LTE Access Point.
Step 1: Connecting and Sealing the RJ45
Cables
The Q910 may use one or two RJ-45 cables, one for Ethernet and
Power (PoE IN), and another when the Q910 is optionally
supplying Ethernet out to a peripheral device, such as a small
camera or backhaul radio. Connect and seal the RJ-45 cables
using the M25 data cable glands as shown in Figure 3.
WARNING! Do not use any PoE Injector that is not tested and
approved by Ruckus Wireless to power the Q910 Access Point.
WARNING! Do not plug PoE IN power into the Ethernet OUT
port. See Figure 2.
WARNING! If using a PoE switch to supply power to the Q910,
30W MUST be reserved for the Q910 on the switch. Failure to
ensure a 30W supply may result in unpredictable operation of
the access point.
FIGURE 2 LEDs, PoE IN and Ethernet OUT Ports
1. Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-
ring, clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown
in Figure 3.
FIGURE 3 RJ-45 Cable and Cable Gland Assembly
2. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the Q910.
3. Tighten the cable gland base into the Q910 chassis to 7 N.m
or 62 in-lbs.
4. Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring.
Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the
rubber O-ring.
5. Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the
cable gland base.
6. Hand-tighten the sealing nut.

Step 2: Attaching the U-Joint bracket to the
Mounting Bracket
1. Position the U-joint bracket on the mounting bracket.
NOTE: Mount the U-joint bracket in any direction on the
mounting bracket, preferably to allow AP azimuth
adjustments. Then the AP bracket allows AP elevation
adjustments.
FIGURE 4 U-joint bracket attached horizontally to the
mounting bracket
2. Use four 1/4-28 bolt and washer sets (A) to mount the U-joint
bracket (B) to the mounting bracket (C). Tighten the bolts to
9.5 N.m (7 ft-lbs.)
3. Continue with Step 3A: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a
Flat Surface on page 2 or Step 3B: Attaching the Mounting
Bracket to a Metal Pole on page 2.
Step 3A: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a
Flat Surface
1. Place the mounting bracket at the location on the at 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.
FIGURE 5 Mounting bracket at surface holes
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the at surface.
3. Drill holes required for the mounting hardware.
NOTE: The hardware required for mounting to a wall are
not included in the mounting kit.
4. Attach the mounting bracket to the at surface using the
mounting hardware.
5. Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the
hardware to secure the mounting bracket.
6. Continue with Step 4: Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-
Joint Bracket on page 2.
Step 3B: Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a
Metal Pole
1. Insert the open end of one steel clamp into the upper two
slots on Insert the open end of one steel clamp into the
upper two slots on the mounting bracket.
2. Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower two
slots on the mounting bracket.
NOTE: The clamps can be daisy-chained together to
accommodate larger poles.
3. Use the clamps to attach the mounting bracket to the pole.
Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs., or per
manufacturer’s specications.
FIGURE 6 Attaching the mounting bracket to a vertical
pole
4. Continue with Step 4: Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-
Joint Bracket on page 2.
Step 4: Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the
U-Joint Bracket
The linkage bracket attaches to the U-joint bracket using an M8
bolt and washer set. The linkage bracket is symmetrical, and
either end can be attached to the U-joint bracket.
NOTE: If you are mounting Q910 horizontally, use the longer
(175 mm) linkage bracket. If you are mounting Q910 vertically,
use the shorter (100 mm) linkage bracket.

FIGURE 8 Horizontal mounting with Long Linkage Arm
1. Loosely assemble the linkage bracket (A), the U-joint bracket
(C), one serrated external-tooth lock washer (B), and one M8
bolt and washer set (D).
FIGURE 9 Attaching the Linkage Bracket to the U-joint
Bracket
FIGURE 10 Additional orientation view of the
attachment of Linkage Bracket and U-joint Bracket to AP
bracket
2. Set the azimuth required by the AP.
3. Tighten the M8 bolt to 13.6 N.m (10 ft-lbs.)
4. Continue with Step 5: Attaching the AP Bracket to the
Linkage Bracket on page 3.
Step 5: Attaching the AP Bracket to the
Linkage Bracket
Attach the AP bracket to the linkage bracket using the included
bolt, nut, lock washer, at washer, serrated external-tooth
washer shown in Figure 10.
The AP bracket attaches to the linkage bracket using an M8 bolt
and washer set. The linkage bracket is symmetrical, and either
end can be attached to the AP bracket.
NOTE: Make sure that linkage bracket is installed with its
serrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside of the AP
bracket anges. This ensures that the elevation adjustment
does not change.
As described in Step 4: Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the
U-Joint Bracket on page 2, loosely assemble the AP bracket
(shown in Figure 10), the linkage bracket (A in Figure 9), the
second serrated external-tooth lock washer (B in Figure 9),
and the second M8 bolt and washer set (D in Figure 9).
Step 6: Attaching the AP Bracket to the
Access Point
1. Place the AP bracket on to 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. Make sure that the end of the AP
bracket with the hoisting loop is on the same side as the AP
PoE IN port.
FIGURE 11 Attaching the AP bracket to the AP
2. Use four 0.5-inch x 0.250-28 hex bolts with split lock and at
washer sets to mount the AP bracket to the AP. Tighten the
bolts to 2.5-3.0 N.m or 22-27 in-lbs.
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.
3. If required, suspend the AP by attaching a carabiner to the
hoisting loop on the AP bracket.
NOTE: This kit may include extra screws, nuts, and
washers. You may use the extras wherever required.
4. Continue with Step 7: Setting the Elevation and Tightening
the Elevation Bolt on page 3.
Step 7: Setting the Elevation and Tightening
the Elevation Bolt
1. Set the elevation required by the AP.
2. Tighten the M8 bolt to13.6 N.m (10 ft-lbs.)
3. Continue with Step 8: Earth Grounding the AP on page 3.
Step 8: Earth Grounding the AP
CAUTION! Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground
screw/washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP
chassis ground point (Figure 12).

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 (Figure 12).
CAUTION! The Q910 AP includes one 12 mm stainless
steel M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and at
washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no
longer than 12 mm. If a screw is longer than 12 mm, it can
damage the AP chassis.

Step 9: Installing the Security Cable
1. Thread the security cable through the mounting bracket (A)
and through the eye on the cable itself (B), as shown in
Figure 13.
2. Attach the safety cable to the AP (C) in Figure 13.
FIGURE 13 Attaching the Security Cable
Congratulations! You have mounted your Q910 access point.
Step 10: Checking the LED Lights
The LED lights verify the installation of AP
.
Once connected, AP will power on and automatically connect to
Ruckus Cloud over the Internet to congure itself. You will see
some activity and after 5-10 minutes all lights should turn solid
Green or solid Amber (LTE LED).
If any light is o or ashing, see the following table to help you
troubleshoot the issue.
Light Troubleshooting Action
PWR Check Power, Ethernet connections and PoE
(802.3at Type-2 (PoE+) Certied) switch.
EMS Check Internet connection and network/
rewall settings.
EPC Check Internet connection and network/
rewall settings.
SYNC Ensure at least one AP in the network is near
an unobstructed window for a good GPS
signal.
LTE For additional guidance, use the Ruckus Cloud
or contact Customer Support.
For more Information
The AP is now operational and can be further managed by the
Ruckus Cloud service. For more information, refer to the
