housing.
2Feed the end of the AC cable through the boot and cable gland.
3Strip the AC cable as shown.
4Insert the stripped part of the conductors into the appropriate
terminals on the connector housing. The conductors are color-
coded and must be connected to the appropriate terminals as
shown in Figure 10.
Typical AC wire colors:
- (Earth Ground): Green (US), Green/Yellow (EU)
- 1 (Neutral/Return): White or Gray (US), Blue (EU)
- 2 (Line/Hot): Black (US), Brown (EU)
- 3 (not used)
NOTE: The color coding of wire conductors varies by region. Before
completing this step, check your local wiring standards for guidance.
5Using a small screwdriver, tighten the small screws around the
connector housing to fix the connector pins into the terminals.

STEP 9: EARTH GROUNDING THE AP
CAUTION: Make sure that earth grounding is available and that it
meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning
protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
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 11).
CAUTION: The T710s AP includes one 12mm stainless steel
M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers. Make
sure that any replacement screw is no longer than 12mm. If a
screw is longer than 12mm, it can damage the AP chassis.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION: If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default
settings by pressing the reset button located inside the PoE IN
port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO INSTRUCTED. (Doing this
resets the AP IP address to 192.168.0.1.)
NOTE: After a reset, you can access the internal AP web interface
using https://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. Refer to the ZoneFlex Outdoor Access
Point User Guide for information on configuring and operating the
AP. This document is available at https://
support.ruckuswireless.com.
NOTE: After an AP is removed from its mounting, it may drip
some water from the channel surrounding the radome. As long as
the AP has been operating normally, this incidental water
collection and dripping is normal, and is not service-affecting.
