STEP 1: PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER FOR AP SETUP
1On your Windows computer, open the Network Connections
(or Network and Dial-up Connections) control panel according
to how the Start menu is set up:
Win XP: Start > Settings > Network Connections
Win 7: Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing
Center > Change Adapter Settings
2When the Network Connections window appears, right-
click the icon for Local Area Connection, and then select
Properties.
3When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box
appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the scroll-
ing list, and then click Properties.
The TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
4Select Use the following IP address option (if it is not
already selected), and then make the following entries:
•IP address: 192.168.0.22 (or any address in the
192.168.0.x network--other than 192.168.0.1, which is in
use by the AP)
•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
•Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Leave the Alternate DNS server field empty.
5Click OK to save your changes, exit first the TCP/IP Prop-
erties dialog box, and then the Local Area Connection
Properties dialog box.
Your changes are put into effect immediately.
STEP 2: CONNECT THE AP TO YOUR COMPUTER
1Remove the AP from its packaging and place it near your com-
puter.
2Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the PoE In LAN
5/Uplink port on the rear of the AP, and connect the other
end to a PoE switch or the Data Out/Power Out port on
the PoE injector.
3Using another Ethernet cable, connect one end to your
computer’s network port, and connect the other end to
another port on the PoE switch or to the Data In/Network
port on the PoE injector.
4Provide power to the PoE injector/switch.
5Verify that the Power and LAN 5 LEDs are steady green.
STEP 3: LOG INTO THE AP
As specified earlier, the AP should be directly connected to
your computer (through one of the LAN ports), and should be
receiving power from its PoE uplink port.
1On your computer, open a Web browser window.
2In the browser, type this URL to connect to the AP:
https://192.168.0.1
3Press <Enter> to initiate the connection. When a security
alert dialog box appears, click OK/Yes to proceed.
4When the Ruckus Wireless Admin login page appears,
enter the following:
•Username: super
•Password: sp-admin
5Click Login.
IMPORTANT!
If the AP is deployed with ZoneDirector, follow the
ZoneDirector Quick Setup Guide, and connect the AP to
your Ethernet network.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure you do not open the Properties dialog box for
the wireless network.
IMPORTANT!
Write down all of the currently active settings so you can
restore your computer to its original configuration later
(when this process is complete).

5In Wireless Availability, click Enabled.
6Delete the text in the SSID field, and then type the name
of your network. If your network does not have a “name,”
type a short name that will help your users identify the AP
in their wireless network connection application.
7Click Update Settings to save your changes.
8Repeat Step 4-7 for each Wireless # interface that you
want to enable.
9Click Logout to exit the Ruckus Web Admin interface.
10 When the Web Admin login page reappears, you can exit

rent power source, and then restore your computer’s origi-
nal network settings.
STEP 5: RESTORE YOUR COMPUTER’SNETWORK
SETTINGS
1Click Start > Settings > Network Connections.
(If Windows 7, click Start > Control Panel > Network and
Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings.)

click the icon for the “Local Area Connection” and choose
Properties.
3When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box
appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the scroll-
ing list, and click Properties.
The TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
4Replace the recent AP connection entries with the entries
from your original network configuration.

Your computer is now ready for normal network use.
STEP 6: MOUNT THE AP TO THE WALL
1Remove the outlet box cover from the outlet box.
2Align the mounting bracket with the outlet box so that the
two screw holes line up, and pull the Ethernet cable
through the center of the mounting bracket.
3Affix the mounting bracket to the outlet box using the two
mounting screws provided.
4Connect the uplink Ethernet cable to the PoE In LAN 5 /
Uplink port on the rear of the AP. Alternatively, if an RJ-45
connector is not used, you can connect PoE wiring directly
to the punch-down block.
5Verify that the Power and LAN 5 LEDs are lit.
6Bundle or coil any excess wiring so that it does not pro-
trude or impede AP placement.
7Snap the AP onto the mounting bracket by hooking the
two locking tabs on one side of the mounting bracket into
the two cutouts in the plastic housing on one side of the
AP, then push the other side of the AP in toward the wall
until it snaps in place.
You have completed the physical installation.
STEP 7: VERIFY THE INSTALLATION
1Using any wireless-enabled computer or mobile device,
search for and select the wireless network you previously con-
figured.
2If you can connect, open a browser and link to any public
Web site.
Congratulations! Your wireless network is active and ready for
use.
