About the AP
The AP is equipped with two 5GHz N-type connectors, which allow operators to use up
to two customer-supplied external 5GHz antennas instead of the internal 5GHz antennas.
These external antennas can support operator-defined coverage areas and point-to-point
deployments. For instance, Figure 3 shows an AP used with omni external antennas, and
Figure 4 shows two APs used in a point-to-point backhaul deployment.

Pointing the Internal GPS Antenna
Pointing the Internal GPS Antenna
The AP includes an internal GPS antenna. When the AP is to be used with the optional
GPS feature enabled, the GPS antenna must be mounted outdoors and have as clear a
view of the sky as possible (as close as possible to 360 degrees, and with no obstructing
trees or buildings). The GPS antenna must not be installed where it can be covered with
snow buildup to avoid attenuating the GPS signal. These requirements must be met to
ensure that the GPS module can obtain lock and provide accurate GPS time and position.
If the GPS antenna has less than a clear 360-degree view of the sky, then the GPS module
may experience degraded performance.

Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation
Performing a Site Survey
Performing a Site Survey
Perform a site survey to determine the optimal AP placement or maximum range,
coverage, and network performance. Ruckus WirelessSupport can supply Site Survey best
practices information.
The location and orientation that you choose for the AP play a critical role in the
performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends installing
the AP away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring that the AP’s best
coverage zone (refer to “ About the AP” on page 4) is pointing in the general direction of
its wireless clients or associated bridge units.
When performing a site survey, consider the following factors:
■Data rates: Range is generally inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum radio
range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. Higher data rates will generally be
achieved at closer distances.
■Antenna type and placement: Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in
maximizing radio range. As a general rule, radio range is increased by mounting the
radio higher off of the ground with the AP oriented so that the dome is facing down
(for recommended orientation examples, refer to “ About the AP” on page 4).
■Physical environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or
filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the wireless
range.
■Obstructions, building materials, and sources of interference: Physical obstructions,
such as concrete pillars, steel beams, filing cabinets, buildings and trees, can block or
hinder wireless communication. Avoid installing the AP in an environment where there
is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices. A number of machines and
electronic devices that emit radio waves, such as cranes, wireless phones, microwave
ovens, and satellite dishes, interfere with and block wireless signals. Building materials
used in construction also influence radio signal penetration. For example, drywall
construction permits greater range than concrete blocks.
■GPS Considerations: If the AP is to be used with the optional GPS feature enabled,
then the AP must be mounted outdoors and have as clear a view of the sky as possible
(as close as possible to 360 degrees) to help the GPS module obtain lock and provide
accurate GPS time and position. (Refer to “ Pointing the Internal GPS Antenna” on
page 10.) The GPS antenna must not be installed where it can be covered with snow
buildup to avoid attenuating the GPS signal. If the GPS antenna has less than a clear
360-degree view of the sky, then the GPS module may experience degraded perfor-
mance.

Planning the Physical Installation
Planning the Physical Installation
The AP can be installed indoors or outdoors, such as on an interior wall or ceiling, on the
exterior roof overhang of a building, or on a streetlight pole. The GPS antenna must be
installed outdoors for proper GPS operation.
Notes on Power Sources
■The AP only requires one power source (either AC or PoE), but can be powered by AC
and PoE at the same time.
■The AP may be powered by AC power or by PoE input using an Ruckus Wireless 60W
PoE injector (part number 902-0180-XX00, where XX is the country code).
■PoE OUT supports 802.3af (15.4W output) loads when the AP is operating off AC input
power or when operating off the PoE input port using a high-power 60W PoE Injector.
■When AC powered and PoE is present, the AP draws power from the AC connection.
■The AP PoE Output supports high power peripheral d evices up t o 25W, such as a small
cell or micro cell radio but only with the follow restrictions: the PoEOutput cable length
between the AP and peripheral device is less than 8m (25 feet) and that the AP is
operating off of AC Input power. High-power peripherals (up to 25W) may also be
powered by an AP operating from the PoE Input using a high power 60W injector,
provided that the PoE input cable length between the injector and AP is less than 8m
(25 feet) and that the DC voltage at the AP PoE input connector is at least 44 VDC.
Deciding How to Power the AP
The AP can be powered using either AC power and/or Power over Ethernet (PoE). Use this
information and the information in “ Installation Components and Constraints” on page 29
to determine how to power the AP.
AC Power
RuckusWirelesssuppliesan AC power cable connector with the AP. The customer supplies
the country-specific 3-wire AC power cable. The supported input voltages are 90-264 VAC
at 50/60Hz.
The APs used in a mesh network generally use AC power.
Power over Ethernet
The customer orders a Ruckus Wireless 60W PoE injector (part number 902-0180-XX00,
where XX is the country code).
The AP can be powered by 60W PoE to support 802.3at PoE Out to 27W. 802.3at (25.5W)
PoE can be supported with 8m (25 ft.) or shorter CAT5e UTP or better cable, and an 8m
(25 ft.) or shorter CAT5e UTP or better input cable. When AC powered and PoE is present,
the AP draws power from the AC connection.

Powering the AP
NOTE: You only need to connect one type of power source at this point, even if you are
planning to use both PoE and AC power in your final deployment.
Apply power to the AP using one of these two methods:
•“ Powering the AP with AC” on page 51
•“ Powering the Access Point with PoE” on page 52
Checking LED Operation
Perform a spot-check using the LEDs to verify that the AP is operating normally. When the
AP is operating normally and no wireless clients are associated with it:
■The PWR LED is green.
■The 2.4G and 5G LED shows slow blinking green. This indicates that there are no
wireless clients connected to the AP’s WLAN services.
You have checked the LED operation. Continue with “ Configuring the APfor Management
by ZoneDirector” on page 15 or “ Configuring the AP for Management by FlexMaster or
for Standalone Operation” on page 17.
