Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Product Overview
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Onboard with Ruijie’s highly acclaimed Smart Antenna, the RG-AP740-I AP tops the class by supporting 802.11ac Wave
2. Featuring 4 spatial streams and MU-MIMO, the AP implements a leading tri-radio, dual-band design. The two main
radios deliver up to 1,733Mbps + 800Mbps access rates and the third offers frequency spectrum scanning. The whole AP
hence speeds up the performance to up to 2533Mbps. Market-leading X-Sense Smart Antenna provides better coverage
and ensures best access for mobile terminals. All models in the X-Sense AP Series support security, radio frequency (RF)
control, mobile access, Quality of Service (QoS) and seamless roaming. Teaming up with Ruijie RG-WS Wireless
Controller Series, wireless data forwarding, high performance security and access control can be accomplished with ease.
In addition, the RG-AP740-I AP, with tri-band and dual-radio design, flexibly supports 2.4G+5G+2G or 2.4G+5G+5G
working modes and concurrent 802.11ac wave 2, 802.11ac wave 1 and 802.11n. The AP can be mounted on ceiling or
wall or in a pole. The AP supports local power supply and PoE to take over challenges in a wide variety of deployment
scenarios, including large-scaled campuses, enterprises, hospitals and WIFI hotspots.

Power Sources
The AP can be powered either with a power adapter or through Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The AP requires Ruijie power adapters (If needed, you can buy them from Ruijie).
To use a PoE device, make sure it supports the IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standard.
Cooling Solution
The AP adopts fanless design.
Leave sufficient space at the surrounding of the AP when place the AP to permit airflow for proper ventilation.

Radiation Pattern
RG-AP740-I adopts the Ruijie’s Patent X-Sense Smart Antenna. Regardless of the high mobility of smart device, the AP
always provides the best signal path with the revolutionary change brought by Ruijie X-Sense Smart Antenna technology.
Three radio patterns are shown in the following disgrams.. Because the antennas focus gains in front of the AP, signal
strength in the front is stronger. Therefore, it is preferable to install the AP towards the area where wireless coverage is
most required.
When mount the AP on a wall or ceiling, install the AP towards where you stand to avoid backward coverage.
It is preferable to install the AP in a way that maximizes coverage.
When install the AP indoors, it is better to mount it on the ceiling rather than on the wall because the AP
provides greater coverage when it is installed on the ceiling.
Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3 show the preferred wall-mount and ceiling-mount orientations of the AP operating in the 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz bands, respectively.
