STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER FOR AP

SETUP

1On your Windows 7 computer, configure your network

adapter from the Local Area Connection settings as fol-

lows:

• Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing

Center > Change Adapter Settings

2Edit the TCP/IPv4 address settings as follows:

• Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet

Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties

The TCP/IPv4 Properties dialog box appears.

3Select Use the following IP address (if it is not already

selected) and then make the following entries:

•IP address: 192.168.0.22 (or any address in the

192.168.0.x network)

•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

•Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

Leave the DNS server fields empty.

4Click OK to save your changes.

Your changes are put into effect immediately.

Note: The R600 requires a minimum of ZoneFlex (ZF)

firmware version 9.8.1 or later, or SmartCell Gateway

(SCG) firmware version 2.5.1 or later, or virtual SmartCell

Gateway (vSCG) 3.0 or later.

IMPORTANT! If the AP is deployed with a ZoneDirector, then

refer to the ZoneDirector Quick Setup Guide and connect the

AP to your local network.

Note: 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).

STEP 6: PLACE THE AP IN YOUR SITE

1Move the AP to its permanent location (accessible to

both power and network connections). Refer to

(Optional) Mounting Instructions for physical installation.

2Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PoE port to the

appropriate device:

• The ISP’s or carrier’s network device

• The Ethernet switch that is connected to the ISP’s or

carrier’s network device

3Connect the AP power adapter (or PoE power supply) to

the AP, then to a convenient power source.

4Verify that the PoE port LED is lit.

After a short pause to re-establish the Internet connection,

you can test the AP.

STEP 7: 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.

Congratulations! Your wireless network is active and ready

for use.

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 R600 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

R600 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

(or better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the PoE

injector or switch.

Mounting on a Recessed Drop-Ceiling T-Bar

The enclosed T-bar bracket supports mounting to recessed

drop ceiling T-bars.

Mounting an AP using the External Bracket

1Insert the unit removal pin (A in Figure 4) into the hole on

the side of the R600 (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 R600 enclosure,

and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in the

narrow parts of the R600 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 R600.

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 R600 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 R600-

and-T-bar bracket assembly (B in Figure 6). The R600-

and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away from the T-

bar.

Removing an External Bracket from an AP

1Insert the unit removal pin (A in Figure 7) into the hole

on the side of the R600.

2Gently lift up the retainer tab (B in Figure 7).

3Gently push the T-bar bracket (C in Figure 7) until it

detaches from the R600.

Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling 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 8. Attaching the integrated bracket to the T-bar

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 R600.

2Fasten the R600 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.

CAUTION: Make sure that all three clasps are gripping the T-

bar!
