device provided by your Internet Service Provider that
brings Internet access to your site.
• A network switch or a DSL/Internet gateway device.

STEP 1: CONNECT THE AP TO YOUR COMPUTER
1After removing your Ruckus Wireless AP from its package,
place it next to your computer.
2Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network
port to the 10/100/1000 port on the AP.
3Using the AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP to a
convenient (and protected) power source.
• Alternatively, connect the 10/100/1000 port to a PoE
injector or PoE switch for both power and network con-
nectivity.
4Verify that the Power LED on the external enclosure is a
steady green.
STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER FOR AP

ZoneDirector Quick Setup Guide, and connect the AP to your
local network.

The following procedures assume Windows 7 as the operating
system. Procedures for other OS’s are similar.
IMPORTANT!
Write down all of the currently active settings so you can
restore your computer to its current configuration later (when
this process is complete).

computer (through the Ethernet port) and powered on, ready for
setup.
1On your computer, open a Web browser window.
2In the browser, type this URL to connect to the AP:

8Repeat Steps 4-7 for each Wireless # interface that you want
to enable.
9Click Logout to exit the Web interface.
10 Disconnect the AP from the computer and from the current
power source, and then restore your computer to its original
network connection configuration.
STEP 5: PLACE THE AP IN YOUR SITE
1Move the AP to its permanent location (accessible to both
AC power and network connection).
2Use an Ethernet cable to connect the 10/100/1000 port of
the AP to your network.
3Connect the AC power adapter (or PoE power supply) to the
AP, then to a convenient power source.
4Verify that the 10/100/1000 port LED is lit.
5Connect external antennas to the RP-SMA connectors on
the 7372-E enclosure. Note that each connector is a dual-
band (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) spatial stream.
• Ruckus Wireless offers two different antenna kits as sep-
arately orderable accessories, certified for use with the
7372-E:
• 911-0303-VP02 (articulating direct-mount antenna
pair)
• 911-0505-DP01 (2-stream sector antenna panel)
After a short pause to re-establish the Internet connection, you
can test the AP.
STEP 6: VERIFY THE INSTALLATION
1Using any wireless-enabled computer or mobile device,
search for and select the wireless network you previously
configured.
2If you can connect, open a browser and link to any public
Web site.

(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The ZoneFlex 7372-E can be mounted to a wall, ceiling or to a T-
bar using the supplied mounting screws or the T-bar clips built
into the bottom of the AP enclosure.
Mounting to a Flat Surface
1Use this Quick Start Guide template or the alignment spacer
to mark the locations for screw holes on the mounting sur-
face. Use a 5mm drill bit to drill approximately 25mm into
the mounting surface.
2Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the mounting
surface, leaving approximately 0.28” (7 mm) of the screw
heads protruding for the AP enclosure.
The screws should be approximately 3.25” (82.6 mm) apart
per the template.
3Insert a straightened paperclip (or similar) into the hole on
the side of the AP (Figure 1.), to release the locking mecha-
nism.
Figure 1. Insert a paperclip into the pinhole
4Place the AP onto the mounting screws so that the screw
heads enter the mounting holes on the AP enclosure, and
push the AP downward to lock in place.
5Remove the paperclip to release the lock mechanism and
secure the AP.
6To unmount, insert a straightened paperclip into the hole on
the side of the AP to unlock, then push the AP upward to
release the AP enclosure from the mounting screws.
Mounting to a T-Bar
The ZoneFlex 7372-E provides mounting options for flush tile
and recessed frame T-bars in acoustical ceiling tiles.
Flush Tile
1Orient the AP so that the T-bar is positioned between the T-
bar clips as shown in Figure 2., then rotate the AP until the
third T-bar clip catches the T-bar and the latch locks the T-bar
in place (Figure 3.).
Figure 2.
Figure 3.
2For added security, insert the Torx-head security screw into
the security screw hole shown in Figure 3.
3To remove the unit, first remove the security screw, then
depress the latch while rotating the AP so that the T-bar clips
disengage the T-bar.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
You can now use the wireless network to log into the AP’s Web
interface. Use the Web interface to review and fine-tune a wide
range of AP settings. For information on how to configure the AP
from the Web interface, refer to the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex
Indoor Access Point User Guide or the Online Help, available
from within the Web interface.
