Unless specifically indicated, the rest of this document refers to the T301n as an AP.For detailed information on planning the installation, pointing the internal GPS antenna, performing a site survey, preparing the AP at the depot and shipping to the field, refer to the T301n 802.11ac Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide. For information on configuring and operating the AP, refer to the ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point User Guide. Both documents are available at https://support.ruckuswireless.com.WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. WARNING: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. CAUTION: Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip loop in any cable that is attached to the AP or the building. This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering the AP or the building where the cable terminates. CAUTION: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors. CAUTION: Make sure that proper lightning surge protection precautions are taken according to local electrical code. WARNING: Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear eye protection before mounting the AP.BEFORE YOU BEGINBefore deploying Ruckus Wireless products, please check for the latest software and the release documentation.• User Guides and Release Notes are available athttp://support.ruckuswireless.com/documents• Software Upgrades are available athttp://support.ruckuswireless.com/software• Open Source information is available athttp://opensource.ruckuswireless.com• Software License and Limited Warranty available athttp://support.ruckuswireless.com/warrantyREQUIRED HARDWARE AND TOOLS• Torque wrench or torque screwdriver with sockets and bits• Wide flat-blade screwdriverIf you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then you will also need:• Customer-supplied wall anchors rated to withstand 128 N or 28.8 lbf (required to withstand wind loads of 266km/h or 165mph)• Electric drill with drill bits and customer-supplied wall anchors, flat washers, and hex nuts for flat-surface mountIf you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole, then you will also need:• A 30mm to 60mm (1.18" to 2.36") pipe or pole• Four factory-supplied steel clampsPACKAGE CONTENTSBefore deploying your AP in the field, verify that all items listed below are included in the package.

Connect and seal the cable using the M25 data cable gland (B in Figure 1).1Feed the end of the RJ-45 cable through the sealing nut (D in Figure 2), rubber sealing insert (C in Figure 2), clamping ring assembly (B in Figure 2) and cable gland base (A in Figure 2).Figure 2: RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly2Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the blanking cap from the AP.3Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the AP. 4Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or 62 in-lbs.5Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber sealing insert. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber sealing insert.6Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber sealing insert in the cable gland base.7Hand-tighten the sealing nut. 8Continue with Step 2a: Attaching the Hanger Mount to a Flat Surface or Step 2b: Attaching the Hanger Mount to a Metal Pole.STEP 2A: ATTACHING THE HANGER MOUNT TO A FLAT SURFACE1Hold the hanger mount (D in Figure 1) at the location on the mounting surface where you want to mount the AP. Use the holes on the hanger mount as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes.2Remove the hanger mount from the mounting surface.3Drill holes required for the customer-supplied mounting hardware.4Attach the hanger mount to the flat surface using the mounting hardware. 5Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the hardware to secure the hanger mount.Figure 3: Hanger mount on a flat surface NOTE: Hanger mount shown attached vertically to allow AP elevation adjustments. Attach the hanger mount vertically to allow AP azimuth adjustments.6Continue with Step 3: Assembling the AP Mounting Bracket and the AP.STEP 2B: ATTACHING THE HANGER MOUNT TO A METAL POLE1Insert the open end of one steel clamp (H in Figure 1) into the upper two slots on the hanger mount (D in Figure 1).2Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower two slots on the hanger mount.3Use the clamps to attach the hanger mount to the pole (the clamps can be daisy-chained together to accommodate larger poles). Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s specifications if the supplied clamps are not used.Figure 4: Hanger mount on a vertical poleNOTE: Hanger mount shown attached horizontally to allow AP azimuth adjustments. Attach the hanger mount vertically to allow AP elevation adjustments.4Continue with Step 3: Assembling the AP Mounting Bracket and the AP.ABCD

Make sure that the longer end of the AP mounting bracket points away from the AP connector.Figure 5: Positioning the AP mounting bracket on the AP2Insert the 0.250-28 bolts (I in Figure 1) with washers into the screw holes on the AP mounting bracket. Tighten the bolts to 2.5-3.0 N.m or 22-27 in-lbs.CAUTION: The mounting bolt length is critical. Do not use bolts longer than the supplied 0.250-28 x 0.625” L parts or the unit may be damaged.3Continue with Step 4: Mounting the AP.STEP 4: MOUNTING THE AP1Align one of the holes on the extension bracket (E in Figure 1) with the hole on the hanger mount.Figure 6: Align the extension bracket hole with the hanger mount hole2Insert an M8 hex bolt into hole and finger tighten until the bolt passes through the screw hole on the hanger mount.Figure 7: Finger-tightened hex bolt3Align the hole on the mounting bracket with the remaining hole on the extension bracket.4Insert an M8 hex bolt into the hole and finger tighten until the bolt passes through the extension bracket. Figure 8: AP mounting5Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the AP as required. 6Using a 13mm wrench, tighten the M8 hex bolts to 13.6 N.m (10 ft-lbs) so the extension bracket is securely fastened to the AP mounting bracket and the hanger mount.7Continue with Step 5: Earth Grounding the AP.STEP 5: EARTH GROUNDING THE APCAUTION: Make sure that earth grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.NOTE: The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before completing this step, check your local wiring standards for guidance.• Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis ground point (A in Figure 9).Figure 9: Connect good earth ground to AP hereCongratulations! You have mounted your T301n access point.TROUBLESHOOTINGCAUTION: If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default settings by pressing the reset button located inside the PoE OUT/RESET port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO INSTRUCTED. (Doing this resets the AP IP address to 192.168.0.1.)NOTE: After a reset, you can access the internal AP web interface using https://192.168.0.1. Your device must use any other address from 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1. The username is super, and the password is sp-admin. Refer to the T301n 802.11ac Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide and the ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point User Guide for information on configuring and operating the AP.
