computer.
2Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer’s network
port to the 10/100/1000 POE In port on the AP (A in Figure 2).
3Using an AC adapter (sold separately), connect the AP 12VDC
port (B in Figure 2) to a convenient (and protected) power
source.
Alternatively, connect the 10/100/1000 POE In port to a PoE
injector or switch for both power and network connectivity.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The AP can be mounted to a drop-ceiling T-bar, flat surface, or a
pole using Ruckus Wireless AP mounting kits. Refer to the
following sections:
•Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
•Mounting on a Flat Surface
•Mounting on a Flat Surface or Pole Using the Optional Secure
Mounting Bracket
Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The factory-supplied T-bar mounting assembly kit allows you to
attach the AP to recessed and flush drop-ceiling T-bars.
1Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (A in Fig-
ure 3) in the keyholes on the AP enclosure.
2Slide the T-bar bracket away from the Ethernet ports on the
bottom of the AP until the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 3) snaps
into place, trapping the T-bar bracket studs in the keyholes (C
in Figure 3).
Figure 3. Attaching the T-bar bracket to the AP
3Insert the locking tab (D in Figure 3) so it is in the first position
on the T-bar bracket (A in Figure 3).
4Gently push the ceiling tiles, if present, up and out of the way.
5Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of
the T-bar (A in Figure 4). Make sure that both clasps are grip-
ping the T-bar.
Default AP Settings (for your reference)

interface
Default Management IP
Address
192.168.0.1
Optional: In a default R710 AP configuration, the AP uses a
DHCP-assigned IP address.
If you anticipate logging into the AP regularly to perform
monitoring or maintenance once it is in place, then you may want
to consider switching from DHCP and instead assigning a static
IP address to the AP.
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
PoE switch.
Note: There is a second set of keyholes that are for optional
sideways mounting on a drop-ceiling T-bar. Physical security is
not supported when mounting the AP with this set of keyholes.
Note: For clarity, Figure 4 only shows the T-bar bracket and the
T-bar, and does not show the AP.

6Hold the AP in place and gently push the locking tab (B in Fig-
ure 4) until its clasp grips the other edge of the T-bar.
Figure 4. Attaching the T-bar bracket to the T-bar
7(Optional) Attach a customer-supplied padlock through the
bracket AP retainer tab (B in Figure 3) to lock the AP to the T-
bar bracket studs.
When you are done, the AP is mounted.
Removing the AP from the T-bar:
1Move the ceiling tiles, if present, out of the way.
2Gently lift up the locking tab (A in Figure 5) by sliding your fin-
ger under the tab.
3Rotate the AP- and-T-bar bracket assembly (B in Figure 5).
The AP- and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away from the T-
bar.
Figure 5. Removing the AP and T-bar bracket from the T-bar
Removing the T-bar bracket from the AP:
1If the AP is locked to the T-bar bracket, then remove the lock.
2Gently lift up the T-bar bracket locking tab (A in Figure 6) and
push the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6) to the side at the same
time.
3While lifting up the T-bar bracket locking tab and pushing the
AP retainer tab to the side, gently push the T-bar bracket (C in
Figure 6) toward the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the AP
until the bracket detaches from the AP.
Figure 6. Removing the T-bar bracket from the AP
Mounting on a Flat Surface
The factory-supplied mounting screws and plastic wall anchors
allow you to attach the AP to a wall or ceiling.
1Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this Quick
Setup Guide to mark the locations for two drill holes on the
mounting surface. Note: There is a second set of keyholes
that are for optional sideways mounting on a flat surface.
Physical security is not supported when mounting the AP
with this set of keyholes.
2Use a 4.75mm (3/16”) drill bit to drill holes approximately
25mm (1”) deep into the mounting surface.
3Insert the factory-supplied anchors (A in Figure 7) and mount-
ing screws (B in Figure 7) into the mounting surface, leaving
approximately 6 mm (1/4”) of the screw heads protruding for
the AP enclosure.
Figure 7. Flat surface mounting
4Place the AP onto the mounting screws so that the screw
heads enter the keyholes on the AP enclosure, and push the
AP down until the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6) snaps into
place.
5(Optional) Attach a customer-supplied padlock through the
integral AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6) to lock the AP to the
mounting screw heads.
6To remove the AP from the factory-supplied mounting screws,
push sideways on the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6), to unlock,
then push the AP up to release the AP enclosure from the
mounting screws.
Mounting on a Flat Surface or Pole Using the
Optional Secure Mounting Bracket
The customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless secure mounting bracket
kit (ordering part number 902-0120-0000) includes a metal
mounting bracket and provides greater security when attaching
the AP to flat surfaces (walls and ceilings) and to poles.
• If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then you will also
need an electric drill with a 4.75mm (3/16”) drill bit, and the
four No. 6 zinc plated screws and plastic wall anchors
included with the kit.
• If you are mounting the AP on a truss or pole, then you will
also need the two pipe clamps included with the kit.
Continue with the following:
1If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then use the
secure mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations
for four drill holes on the mounting surface. There are four
screw holes available on the secure mounting bracket.
Fasten the bracket to the flat surface using four mounting
screws and plastic wall anchors and continue with Step 3.
2If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole, then feed the two
stainless steel clamps included with the kit through the slots
on the secure mounting bracket. Use common hand tools to
tighten the clamps around the pipe or pole.
After the bracket is attached, continue with Step 3.
3Insert the two studs on the secure mounting bracket into the
keyholes on the bottom of the AP, as shown in Figure 3. Note:
There is a second set of keyholes that are for optional side-
ways mounting on a flat surface. Physical security is not sup-
ported when mounting the AP with this set of keyholes.
4Slide the AP toward the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the
AP. The AP has a built-in lock for the secure mounting bracket
studs, and snaps into the locked position when the studs are
fully in the keyholes.
5(Optional) Attach a customer-supplied padlock through the
integral AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6) to fasten the AP to the
secure mounting bracket studs.
Removing the AP from the secure mounting bracket:
1If the AP is locked to the secure mounting bracket, then
remove the lock.
2Gently push and hold the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6) to the
side to release the secure mounting bracket.
3While holding the AP retainer tab to the side, slide the AP away
from the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the AP.
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 Access Point User Guide, or refer to the
appropriate Ruckus Wireless AP controller or AP manager user
documents.
Note: Make sure that all three clasps are gripping the T-bar!
