FIGURE 3 Typical AP high-density narrow-sector coverageMounting InstructionsConnecting And Sealing the RJ-45 CablesConnect and seal the RJ-45 cable(s) using the M25 datacable glands shown in the Figure below.WARNING! Do not use any PoE injector not tested andapproved by Ruckus Wireless to power the T310n AccessPoint.FIGURE 4 T310n LEDs and Ports1. Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubberO-ring, clamping ring assembly and cable gland base asshown.NOTE: Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber O-ringinto the gland body until the gland body has beentorqued to spec.FIGURE 5 RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly2. Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required(PoE IN) blanking cap from the AP.3. Connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the AP.4. Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.mor 62 in-lbs.5. Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fullyencloses the rubber O-ring.6. Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in thecable gland base.7. Hand-tighten the sealing nut.Attaching the U-Joint Bracket to the MountingBracket1. Position the U-joint bracket on the mounting bracket.NOTE: Mount the U-joint bracket in any direction on themounting bracket, preferably to allow AP azimuthadjustments. Then the AP bracket allows AP elevationadjustments.FIGURE 6 U-joint bracket attached horizontally to the mounting bracket2. Use four 1/4-28 bolt and washer sets (A) to mount the U-joint bracket (B) to the mounting bracket (C). Tighten thebolts to 9.5 N.m (7 ft-lbs).3. Continue with Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a FlatSurface or Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole.Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Flat Surface1. Place the mounting bracket at the location on the flatsurface where you want to mount the AP. Use the holeson the mounting bracket as a template to mark thelocations of the mounting holes.FIGURE 7 Mounting bracket flat surface holes2. Remove the mounting bracket from the flat surface.3. Drill holes required for the mounting hardware.NOTE: The hardware required for mounting to a wallare not included in the mounting kit.4. Attach the mounting bracket to the flat surface using themounting hardware.5. Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten thehardware to secure the mounting bracket.6. Continue with Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint Bracket.Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole1. Insert the open end of one steel clamp into the upper twoslots on the mounting bracket.2. Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower twoslots on the mounting bracket.NOTE: The clamps can be daisy-chained together toaccommodate larger poles.3. Use the clamps to attach the mounting bracket to thepole. Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or permanufacturer’s specifications.Copyright ® 2017 Ruckus Wireless, Inc.

FIGURE 8 Attaching the mounting bracket to a vertical pole4. Continue with Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint Bracket.Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-JointBracket1. The linkage bracket attaches to the U-joint bracket usingan M8 bolt and washer set. The linkage bracket issymmetrical, and either end can be attached to the U-jointbracket.NOTE: Make sure that linkage bracket is installed withits serrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside ofthe U-joint bracket flanges. This ensures that theazimuth adjustment does not change.2. Loosely assemble the linkage bracket (A), the U-jointbracket (C), one serrated external-tooth lock washer (B),and one M8 bolt and washer set (D).FIGURE 9 Attaching the linkage bracket to the U-joint bracket3. Set the azimuth required by the AP.4. Tighten the M8 bolt to 13.6 N-m (10 ft-lbs).5. Continue with Attaching the AP Bracket to the LinkageBracket.Attaching the AP Bracket to the Linkage BracketAttach the AP bracket to the linkage bracket using theincluded bolt, nut, lock washer, flat washer, serrated external-tooth washer shown in the illustration below.The AP bracket attaches to the linkage bracket using an M8bolt and washer set. The linkage bracket is symmetrical, andeither end can be attached to the AP bracket.NOTE: Make sure that linkage bracket is installed with itsserrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside of the APbracket flanges. This ensures that the elevation adjustmentdoes not change.As described in Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint Bracket, loosely assemble the AP bracket to thelinkage bracket using the second serrated external-toothlock washer and the second M8 bolt and washer set.FIGURE 10 Attach the linkage bracket to the AP bracketAttaching the AP Bracket to the Access Point1. Place the AP bracket onto the back side of the AP so thatthe four larger screw holes on the bracket align with thefour screw holes on the AP. Make sure that the end of theAP bracket with the hoisting loop is on the same side asthe AP PoE IN port.FIGURE 11 Attaching the AP bracket to the AP2. Use four 0.5-inch x 0.250-28 hex bolts with split lock andflat washer sets to mount the AP bracket to the AP.Tighten the bolts to 2.5-3.0 N.m or 22-27 in-lbs.CAUTION! Make sure that the screws are no longerthan 0.5 inch. If a screw is longer than 0.5 inch, it candamage the AP chassis.3. If required, suspend the AP by attaching a carabiner tothe hoisting loop on the AP bracket.NOTE: This kit may include extra screws, nuts andwashers. You may use the extras where required.4. Continue with Set the Elevation and Tighten ElevationBolt.Set the Elevation and Tighten the Elevation Bolt1. Set the elevation required by the AP.2. Tighten the M8 bolt to 13.6 N-m (10 ft-lbs).3. Continue with Powering the AP with DC.Copyright ® 2017 Ruckus Wireless, Inc. Page 3 of 4Published September 2017, Part Number 800-71623-001 Rev A
Powering the AP with DCThe T310n can accommodate two sources of power – PoE(48V) power and 12V DC.The T310n can draw power from the Ethernet input as a class3 device, providing a maximum of 12.95W to the system.Alternately, power can be supplied through a customer-provided 12V DC power supply (7-20V DC acceptable) thatwill connect to a two pin terminal block. The terminal block isaccessible through a water-tight gland on one end of the unit.The terminal block connection has surge and polarityprotection to protect against inserting the wrong polarity leadsinto the terminal block.NOTE: When both 12V DC and the 48V PoE power areactive, the T310n will prioritize the 12VDC power.NOTE: If DC cables are individual wires, then a specialcable gland insert is required for IP67 seal.1. Install the DC power supply as described in the DC powersupply accessory installation guide.2. Connect the power cord to a DC power source.3. Verify that the PWR LED is a steady green.Earth Grounding the APCAUTION! Make sure that earth grounding is available andthat it meets local and national electrical codes. Foradditional lightning protection, use lightning rods andlightning arrestors.NOTE: The color coding of ground wires varies by region.Before completing this step, check your local wiringstandards for guidance.Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw/washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassisground point.CAUTION! The T310n AP includes one 9mm stainless steelM6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers.Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than9mm. If a screw is longer than 9mm, it can damage the APchassis.FIGURE 12 Connect good earth ground to AP hereCongratulations! You have mounted your T310n access point.Installing a USB DongleTo install a USB dongle (such as an IoT radio device such asBLE, 802.15.4, Z-wave or similar), remove the two 3mm hexscrews, remove the cap, and insert the dongle into the USBport.Once installed, replace the cap and the hex screws, andtorque the screws to 7 in-lbs (0.79 N.m).NOTE: If required, a larger USB dongle cap can bepurchased separately. The maximum dimensions of theUSB dongle that can be inserted (with the large USBdongle cap, part # 902-0127-000) are 6 cm x 2 cm x 1.1cm. Max Power: 450mW (SiLabs EM3578 max currentdraw at +20 dBm is 80mA over a 3.3V rail).FIGURE 13 Installing a USB dongleTroubleshootingCAUTION! If required, you can reset the AP to its factorydefault settings by pressing the reset button located insidethe PoE IN port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SOINSTRUCTED. (Doing this resets the AP IP address to192.168.0.1.)NOTE: After a reset, you can access the internal AP webinterface using https://192.168.0.1. Your device must useany other address from 192.168.0.2 through192.168.0.254, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Theusername is super, and the password is sp-admin.
