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 Internet >

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.

IMPORTANT! If the AP is deployed with a ZoneDirector or

SmartZone controller, then refer to the ZoneDirector or

SmartZone 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).

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.

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 R610 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.

2Use a 5mm drill bit to drill holes approximately 25mm

into the mounting surface (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.

4To remove the AP, insert the unit removal pin into the

hole on the top 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

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

•Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar

•Removing the External Bracket from the AP

Mounting an AP using the External Bracket

1Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (B

in Figure 4) in the mounting holes on the R610 enclosure,

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

narrow parts of the R610 mounting keyholes.The mount-

ing bracket locks in place on the AP enclosure.

Figure 4. Attaching the external bracket to the AP

2Attach the locking tab (C in Figure 4) to one side of the T-

bar and the bracket (B in Figure 4) to the other side of the

T- b a r.

3Slide the locking tab (C) into the bracket (B) so that it

locks in place around the T-bar (Figure 5). Make sure that

both clasps are gripping the T-bar.

Figure 5. Attaching the external bracket to the T-bar

Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar

1Move the ceiling tiles out of the way.

2Slide the locking tab away from the T-bar to release

the AP-bracket assembly from the T-bar.

3The R610-and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away

from the T-bar.

Figure 6. Removing the external bracket from the T-bar

Removing the External Bracket from the AP

1Insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the front

of the AP to unlock the mounting bracket from the AP

enclosure.

2Slide the mounting bracket (Figure 7) toward the

Ethernet ports on the R610 until it detaches from the

R610.

Figure 7. Removing the external bracket from an AP

Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar

Mounting an AP using the Integrated T-bar clips

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 AP to the T-bar

Figure 9. Locking the AP 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

four slots on the back of the R610.

Figure 10 Cable tie slots

2Fasten the R610 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.

Note: The built-in mounting clips on the bottom of the AP

are designed to accommodate 15/16 T-bar widths only.
