Package Contents

A complete R770 installation package includes all of the following items:

• R770 Access Point
• One T-bar mounting bracket
• Four T-bar mounting clips
• One AP mounting kit
• Declaration of Conformity/Regulatory flyer

Required Hardware Tools

• Admin PC (computer with an Ethernet port and Wi-Fi adapter)
• CAT 6 (or better) Ethernet cable
• RUCKUS Wireless 48 VDC power adapter (902-1170-XX00) (sold separately) or 802.3at/bt-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector (902-1180-XX00)

Optional hardware and tools:

• Customer-ordered RUCKUS Wireless secure mounting bracket kit (902-0120-0000):
  • If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface using the secure mounting bracket kit, then you need an electric drill with 4.75-mm (3/16-in.) drill bits.
  • If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole using the secure mounting bracket kit, then you will also need a 38.1-mm to 63.5-mm (1.5-in. to 2.5-in.) pipe or pole, two pole clamps, and hand tools to tighten the clamps.

Connecting Your Computer to the AP

1. If DC powered, connect your computer network port to the PoE port on the AP using an Ethernet cable. Refer to Figure 2.

2. Connect the DC cable of the DC power adapter to a convenient and protected power source. Connect the DC output cable of the DC power adapter to the 48 VDC port on the AP.
   NOTE:

   • Alternatively, connect the AP PoE port to a PoE injector or switch for both power and network connectivity. Connect your computer network port to the data port of the PoE Injector or to another port of the switch, respectively.

   • In general, switches must have the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) enabled. The PoE switch port must run the LLDP and Power over Ethernet/MDI (BT6) for the R770 AP to operate in full-power mode.

   • If the AP is powered by 802.3at PoE, the supported feature set is reduced. For the recent product data sheet, refer to https://www.ruckusnetworks.com/products/wireless-access-points/.
     Alternatively, connect the computer and the AP with a basic PoE switch in the following ways:

   • Connect the AP to a switch port.

   • Connect the computer to another switch port and manually assign an IP address to configure the AP.

3. Verify that the PWR LED on the AP is lit a steady green.

Mounting Instructions

Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The factory-supplied T-bar mounting assembly kit allows you to attach the AP to recessed and flush drop-ceiling T-bars.

1. Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (1 in Figure 3) in the keyholes on the AP enclosure.

2. Slide the T-bar bracket away from the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the AP until the AP retainer tab snaps into place, trapping the T-bar bracket studs in the keyholes (2 in Figure 3).
   FIGURE 3 Attaching the T-bar Bracket to the AP

3. Studs

4. Key holes

5. Locking tab

6. Insert the locking tab (3 in Figure 3) so it is in the first position on the T-bar bracket.

7. Gently push the ceiling tiles, if present, up and out of the way.

8. Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of the T-bar (1 in Figure 4). Make sure that both clasps are gripping the T-bar.
   NOTE: Ensure that the center line of the bracket body is aligned with the center line of the T-bar.

9. Hold the AP in place and gently push the locking tab (1 in Figure 4) until its clasp grips the other edge of the T-bar. Make sure that all four clasps are gripping the T-bar.

FIGURE 4 Attaching the T-bar Bracket to the T-bar

Mounting on a Flat Surface
The factory-supplied mounting screws and plastic wall anchors allow you to attach the AP to a wall or other flat surface.

1. Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this Quick Setup Guide to mark the locations for two drill holes on the mounting surface.

2. Use a 4.75-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit to drill holes approximately 25 mm (1 inch) deep into the mounting surface.

3. Insert the factory-supplied anchors (2 in Figure 5) and mounting screws (1 in Figure 5) into the mounting surface, leaving approximately 6 mm (0.25 inch) of the screw heads protruding for the AP enclosure.
   FIGURE 5 Flat Surface Mounting

4. Place the AP onto the mounting screws so the screw heads enter the keyholes on the AP enclosure, and push the AP down until the APretainer tab snaps into place.
