Default AP Settings (For Your Reference) Network Names (SSIDs) Wireless# (e.g., Wireless1) Security (Encryption method) Disabled for each wireless interface Default Management IP Address 192.168.0.1 STEP 6: PLACE IF YOUR COMPUTER CANNOT CONNECT TO THE AP • Disconnect the AP from the power source, wait 5 seconds, then reconnect it—and wait 60 seconds before attempting a reconnection. • Disconnect and reconnect the AP and the computer. • Replace the Ethernet cable with a new one if the relevant LAN port LED is not illuminated. (LEDs in each port light up during a successful connection.) STEP 4: CUSTOMIZE THE WIRELESS SETTINGS NOTE: 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. Any post-installation connections require (1) a reverse ARP lookup or (2) logging into the DHCP server, to determine which IP address is in effect in the AP. See the Ruckus Wireless Access Point User Guide for more information on IP address assignment options and logging into the AP through either a static IP or dynamic IP address. • On the Web interface menu, click Configuration > Wireless. The Configure::Wireless::Common options appear. • Verify that the following options are active: • • • Wireless Mode: Auto-select Channel: SmartSelect Country Code: If you are not located in the United States, select your current country.

Click Update Settings to save your changes. Place the AP as close to the center of the room, and away from any physical obstructions, as possible. Place the AP on a shelf or other elevated location where the user’s wireless networking devices are in line-of-sight access. Avoid any sources of electromagnetic interference. Avoid placing the AP near large metal or glass surfaces. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the 10/100 or 10/100/ 1000 port of the AP to the appropriate device: • • The ISP’s modem or gateway device The Ethernet switch that is connected to the ISP’s device If not using Power over Ethernet, connect the AP power adapter to the AP, then to a convenient power source.
