T350se Access Point

Quick Setup Guide

NOTE: The minimum software revision for the T350se is ZoneDirector (ZD) 10.5 or later, or SmartZone (SZ) 6.0 or later.

This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to field- install the RUCKUS T350se Access Point (AP). For detailed information on planning the installation, performing a site survey, and operating the T350se refer to the RUCKUS Outdoor Access Point User Guide, 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! Form a 80-mm to 130-mm (3-in. to 5-in.) 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.

CAUTION! RUCKUS strongly recommends that you wear eye protection before mounting the T350se.

5. Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the hardware to secure the mounting bracket.
6. Continue with Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint on page 3.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Pole

1. Insert the open end of one steel clamp into the upper two slots on the mounting bracket.
2. Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower two slots on the mounting bracket.

NOTE: The clamps can be daisy-chained together to accommodate larger poles.

3. Use the clamps to attach the mounting bracket to the pole. Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s specifications.

FIGURE 8 Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Vertical Pole

4. Continue with Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint Bracket on page 3.

Mounting the Linkage Bracket to the U-Joint Bracket

The linkage bracket attaches to the U-joint bracket using an M8 bolt and washer set. The linkage bracket is symmetrical, and either end can be attached to the U-joint bracket.

NOTE: Make sure that the linkage bracket is installed with its serrated external tooth lock washer on the inside of the U-joint bracket flanges. This ensures that the azimuth adjustment does not change.

1. Loosely assemble the linkage bracket, the U-joint bracket, one serrated external-tooth lock washer, and one M8 bolt and washer set.

FIGURE 10 Attaching the Linkage Bracket to the AP Bracket

2. The linkage bracket is symmetrical, and either end can be attached to the AP bracket.

NOTE: Make sure that the linkage bracket is installed with its serrated external-tooth lock washer on the inside of the AP bracket flanges. This ensures that the elevation adjustment does not change.

Attaching the AP Bracket to the Access Point

1. Place the AP bracket onto the back side of the AP so that the four larger screw holes on the bracket align with the four screw holes on the AP.

FIGURE 11 Attaching the AP Bracket to the AP

2. Use four 0.5-inch x 0.250-28 hex bolts with split lock and flat 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 longer than 0.5 inch. If a screw is longer than 0.5 inch, it can damage the AP chassis.

NOTE: This kit may include extra screws, nuts, and washers. You may use the extras where required.

3. Continue with Setting the Elevation and Tightening the Elevation Bolt on page 3.

Setting the Elevation and Tightening the Elevation Bolt

1. Set the elevation required by the AP.
2. Tighten the M8 bolt to 13.6 N-m (120 in-lbs).
3. Continue with Powering the AP with DC Power on page 4.

Powering the AP with DC Power

The AP can draw power from the Ethernet input as a Class 4 device, providing a maximum of 22W to the system. Alternately, power can be supplied through a customer-provided 12V DC power supply (12V DC preferred, 7-20V DC acceptable) that will connect to a two pin terminal block. The terminal block is accessible through a water-tight gland on one end of the unit. The terminal block connection has surge and polarity protection to protect against inserting the wrong polarity leads into the terminal block.

NOTE: If both the PoE and DC ports are used, separate cable glands must be used for each port. Additional cable gland (Part Number 902-0183-0000) can be be purchased.

NOTE: When both the 12V DC and the 48V PoE power are active, the AP will prioritize the 12V DC power.

CAUTION! Ensure that the DC power source does not exceed 20V DC.

1. Install the DC power supply as described in the DC Power Supply Installation Guide.
2. Connect the DC cord to a DC power source.
3. Verify that the PWR LED is a steady green.

Earth Grounding the AP

CAUTION! 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 and washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis ground point.

CAUTION! The T350se AP includes one 9-mm stainless steel M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than 9-mm. If a screw is longer than 9-mm, it can damage the AP chassis.

Installing a USB Dongle

To install a USB dongle (for example, an IoT radio device such as BLE, 802.15.4, Z-wave, or similar), remove the two 3-mm hex screws, remove the cap, and insert the dongle into the USB port.

Once installed, replace the cap and the hex screws, and tighten the screws to 0.79 N.m or 7 in-lbs.

NOTE: If required, a larger USB dongle cap can be purchased separately. The maximum dimensions of the USB dongle that can be inserted (with the large USB dongle cap, part # 902-0127-000) are 6 cm x 2 cm x 1.1 cm. The USB port supports 2.5W.

FIGURE 13 Installing a USB Dongle

Troubleshooting

CAUTION! If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default settings by pressing the reset button located inside the PoE IN port. Use the tip of a pen or a 3 mm flat-blade screwdriver to press the reset button. Press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds or longer to restore to factory defaults. DO NOT RESET THE AP TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS 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. The username is super , and the password is sp-admin.

T350se, Access Point Installation Addendum

When the frequency band 5150 – 5250 MHz is used outdoors in the U.S.A, the FCC mandates that the energy radiated above 30° from the horizon remains below 21 dBm EIRP. This can be maintained during installation using the following guidance.

When the device is installed level to the horizon, (i.e. – device perpendicular to the surface of the earth, antenna radome pointing horizontal, parallel to the earth), the device operates in compliance with FCC rules without any adjustment of output power.

T350se – Antennas
Maximum EIRP in 5150 – 5250 MHz band = 22.2 dBm + Antenna Gain
Maximum EIRP above 30 degree from Horizontal = 22.2 dBm + (-4.7 dBi) = 17.5 dBm

T350se Integrated Antenna
Elevation Pattern: The highest gain is -4.7dBi above 30° to 150°

0° reference

When the device is installed outdoors and use External antenna, External antenna must be adjusted toward the horizon to ensure the energy radiated above 30 degrees from the horizon remains under 21 dBm EIRP (If necessary as a second adjustment – RF power may be reduced).
