FOR MORE INFORMATION
You can now use the wireless network to log into the AP’s
Web interface. For information on how to configure the AP,
refer to the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex Indoor Access Point
User Guide.
(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The R510 can be mounted to a T-bar, wall or ceiling a using
the enclosed mounting kits. Refer to the following sections:
•Mounting on a Flat Surface
•Mounting on a Recessed Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
•Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
•Mounting on a Truss or Pole
Mounting on a Flat Surface
1Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this
Quick Setup Guide as a template to mark the locations
for drill holes on the mounting surface. There are two
sets of keyholes available on the AP. One allows the AP
to be mounted to a wall or ceiling. The other allows the
R510 to be mounted to an accessory bracket (not
included).
2Use a 5mm drill bit to drill holes approximately 25mm
into the mounting surface (A in Figure 3).
3Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the mount-
ing surface, leaving approximately 1/4” (6 mm) of the
screw heads protruding for the AP enclosure.
4Insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the side of
the AP to release the locking mechanism (B in Figure 3).
5Place the AP onto the mounting screws so that the screw
heads enter the mounting holes on the AP enclosure,
and push the AP down to lock in place.
6Remove the unit removal pin to release the locking
mechanism and secure the AP.
7To remove the AP, insert the unit removal pin into the
hole on the side of the AP to unlock, then push the AP up
to release the AP enclosure from the mounting screws.

Optional: If You Want To Switch from DHCP (Default):
If you anticipate logging into the AP regularly to perform
monitoring or maintenance once it is in place, you may want
to consider assigning a static IP address to the AP.
In a default AP configuration, the AP uses a DHCP-
assigned IP address.
A. On the menu, click Configuration > Internet.
B. Click the Static IP option.
C. Fill in the IP Address and Mask fields.
D. Click Update Settings to save your changes.
Note: If you will be using PoE, then you will need a Cat 5e

Mounting an AP using the External Bracket
1Insert the unit removal pin (A in Figure 4) into the hole on
the side of the R510 (B in Figure 4) to release the locking
mechanism.
Figure 4. Attaching the external bracket to the AP
2Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (C
in Figure 4) in the mounting holes on the R510 enclosure,
and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in the
narrow parts of the R510 mounting keyholes (arrow).
3Remove the unit removal pin (A in Figure 4) to engage
the locking mechanism and secure the T-bar bracket to
the R510.
4Make sure that the locking tab (D in Figure 4) is in the
first position on the T-bar bracket (C in Figure 4).
5Gently push the ceiling tiles up and out of the way.
6Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge
of the T-bar (A in Figure 5). Make sure that both clasps
are gripping the T-bar.
Figure 5. Attaching the external bracket to the T-bar
7Hold the R510 in place and gently push the locking tab
(B in Figure 5) until its clasp grips the other edge of the T-
bar.
Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar
1Move the ceiling tiles out of the way.
2Gently lift up the locking tab (A in Figure 6) by sliding
your fingers under the tab.
3While lifting up on the locking tab, rotate the R510-
and-T-bar bracket assembly (B in Figure 6). The R510-
and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away from the T-
bar.

•Mounting an AP using the Integrated Bracket
•Removing an AP Integrated Bracket from a T-Bar
Mounting an AP using the Integrated Bracket
1Orient the AP so that the T-bar is positioned between
the T-bar clips as shown in Figure 8, then rotate the AP
until the third T-bar clip catches the T-bar and the
latch locks the T-bar in place (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Locking the integrated bracket to the T-bar
2Insert the Torx security screw into the hole near the
latch to lock the AP in place.
Removing an AP Integrated Bracket from a T-Bar
1To remove the AP from a T-bar, first remove the
security screw, then depress the latch while rotating
the AP so that the T-bar clips disengage the T-bar.
Mounting on a Truss or Pole
1Feed the customer-supplied cable ties through the
two slots on the back of the R510.
2Fasten the R510 to the truss or pole using the cable
ties.
Note: This mounting bracket can also be used on a flush
drop-ceiling T-bar, so the four rubber feet on the bottom
of the AP minimize ceiling tile displacement.
