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
connectivity.
4Verify that the Power LED on the external enclosure is a
steady green.
STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER FOR AP

If the AP is deployed with a ZoneDirector, follow the
ZoneDirector Quick Setup Guide, and connect the AP to your
local network.

(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The ZoneFlex R300 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 to mark the locations
for screw holes on the mounting surface. 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 1/4” (6 mm) of the screw
heads protruding for the AP enclosure.
The screws should be approximately 3.25” (82.6mm) apart
per the template.
3Insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the side of the
AP (Figure 1.), to release the locking mechanism.
Figure 1. Insert the unit removal pin 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 (to the left or down depending on orientation)
to lock in place.
5Remove the unit removal pin to release the lock mechanism
and secure the AP.
6To unmount, insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the
side of the AP to unlock, then push the AP (to the right or up,
depending on orientation) to release the AP enclosure from
the mounting screws.
Mounting to a T-Bar
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 physical security, use a Torx screwdriver to insert
the security screw into the 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
For information on how to configure the AP from the Web
interface, refer to the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Access Point
User Guide or the Online Help, available from within the
Web interface.
NOTE: If you will be using PoE, you will need a Cat 5e (or
better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the PoE injec-
tor or switch.
