Chapter 1 Product Overview
RG-AP630 is a wireless access point (AP) designed by Ruijie for next-generation high-speed wireless LAN. Adhering to
the latest 802.11ac standard, the AP delivers an access rate of up to 1.75Gbps. It features security, radio frequency (RF)
control, mobile access, Quality of Service (QoS), and seamless roaming, and can be managed by RG-WS series wireless
access controllers (ACs) to implement wireless data forwarding, security, and access control.
The IP67 design adapts Ruijie to inclement outdoor environment, for instance, chillness in northern China and humidity in
southern China. This extremely simplifies installation and maintenance. And the built-in directional and omni-directional
Ruijie patent X-sense smart antennas offer flexible antenna switch and full coverage for various outdoor circumstances.
Moreover, the multi-hop and point-to-multi-points bridging enhances the deployment. The AP fed by IEEE
802.3at-compliant PoE accommodates various monitors and receives real-time monitoring information. It is greatly ideal
for campuses, branch offices, ports, transportation, public security, city blocks, complexes, storage and logistics, tourist
attractions, and other sites.

EMI
All interference sources, either from outside or inside of the device or application system, affect the device by capacitive
coupling, inductive coupling, or electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs due to electromagnetic radiation or conduction, depending on the transmission
path.
Radiation interference occurs when energy, usually radio frequency energy, is emitted from a device and propagated
through space that disturbs other victims. The interference source can be part of disturbed system or a fully electrically
isolated unit. Conduction interference occurs when interference is transferred from one unit to another unit through cables,
which are usually electromagnetic wires or signal cables connected between the source and the victim. Conduction
interference often affects the power supply of the device, and can be eliminated by using filters. Radiation interference can
influence the path of any signal from the device, which is hard to be shielded.
Take effective measures against interference from the power grid.
Keep the AP far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices of power equipment.
Keep the AP away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current devices.
Take electrostatic shielding measures.
Fiber Connection
Before connecting fiber cables, make sure the model of the optical transceiver and fiber type match the optical port. The
transmit port on the local device should be connected to the receive port on the peer device and vice versa.

Before You Begin
Before you install the AP, verify that all the parts in the packing list are packed and make sure that:
The installation site meets temperature and humidity requirements.
The installation site is equipped with proper power supply.
Network cables are in place.
Precautions
The outdoor AP can be mounted on a wall (thickness: less than 2.5 mm) and a pole (diameter: 80 to 110mm). If the
diameter of the pole is out of the range, the hose clamp is customer-supplied. And the installation site varies with
on-the-spot surveys conducted by technical personnel.
Please make full preparation as described in Chapter 2 and observe the following precautions before you install the AP.
Before connecting the power supply, make sure the external power supply matches the power module inside the AP.
Before connecting the power cord, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
When connecting a wire to a binding post, make sure their colors are the same.
Make sure the power supply is properly connected.
