PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Step 1: Connecting and Sealing the RJ-45 Cables
The Unleashed T710 may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for Ethernet when
configured as a Root AP (RAP), and another when the Unleashed T710 is supplying PoE out
to a peripheral device, such as a small cell or micro cell radio. When the Unleashed T710
uses RJ-45 cables, connect and seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands as
shown in Figure 3.
WARNING: Do not use any PoE injector not tested and approved by Ruckus Wireless to
power the Unleashed T710 Access Point.
WARNING: Do not plug PoE IN power into the PoE OUT port. See Figure 2.
WARNING: If using PoE OUT, it is MANDATORY to use the custom Ruckus supplied
60W PoE injector (part #902-0180-XX00), or to use AC power.
WARNING: If using a PoE switch to supply power to the Unleashed T710, 30W MUST be
reserved for the Unleashed T710 on the switch. Failure to ensure a 30W supply may result
in unpredictable operation of the access point. Additionally, if using a PoE switch, the
Unleashed T710’s PoE OUT port cannot be used to power additional devices.

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 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.
