STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SEALING THE RJ-45

ABLES

The AP can use zero, one or two RJ-45 cables, one for Ethernet

when configured as a Root AP (RAP), and one when the AP is

supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a small cell or

micro cell radio. When the AP uses RJ-45 cables, connect and

seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands (C in Figure 1).

1 Feed 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 assembly

2 Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required (

PoE

OUT

or PoE IN) blanking cap from the AP.

3 Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the AP.

4 Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or

62 in-lbs.

5 Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber sealing

insert. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully

encloses the rubber sealing insert.

6 Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber sealing insert in

the cable gland base.

7 Tighten the sealing nut to 1.1 N.m or 10 in-lbs, or until the

rubber sealing insert is compressed.

8 If you are using both the

PoE IN and PoE OUT ports, then

assemble the second waterproof connector by repeating this

procedure for the other cable and cable gland assembly.

9 Continue 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

LAT SURFACE

1 Hold the hanger mount (F 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.

2 Remove the hanger mount from the mounting surface.

3 Drill holes required for the customer-supplied mounting

hardware.

4 Attach the hanger mount to the flat surface using the

mounting hardware.

5 Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the

hardware to secure the hanger mount.

6 Thread the safety cable around the hanger mount (A in Figure

The conductors are color-coded and must be connected to the appropriate terminals as shown

Typical AC wire colors:

- (Earth Ground): Green (US), Green/Yellow (EU)

- 1 (Neutral/Return): White or Gray (US), Blue (EU)

- 2 (Line/Hot): Black (US), Brown (EU)

- 3 (not used)

NOTE: The color coding of wire conductors varies by region. Before completing this step, check your

local wiring standards for guidance.

5 Using a small screwdriver, tighten the small screws around the connector housing to fix the

connector pins into the terminals.

6 Mate the cable gland with the connector housing, and then hand-tighten.

Two different-sized grommets are supplied in the AC connector assembly kit. Use the grommet

that is appropriate to the diameter of the AC cable that you are using.

7 Mate the boot with the cable gland, and then hand-tighten to seal.

8 Connect the AC cord connector that you have assembled to the AC power socket on the AP.

9 Connect the AC cord to an AC power source.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION: 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 ZoneFlex 7782 Dual Band 802.11n Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide

and

the ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point User Guide

for information on configuring and operating the AP.

Both documents are available at https://support.ruckuswireless.com

NOTE: After an AP is removed from its mounting, it may drip some water from the channel

surrounding the radome. As long as the AP has been operating normally, this incidental water

collection and dripping is normal, and is not service-affecting.
