Preparing the SC8800-S AP at the Depot and Shipping to the Field
Powering the AP
Mounting Kit Contents
NOTE: “Appendix A: Ruckus Wireless-Supplied and Customer-Ordered Parts” on
page 61
includes pictures and descriptions of these and other factory-orderable and
customer-supplied parts.
• Main mounting bracket (1 piece)
• U-Joint Bracket (1 piece)
• Small 10mm M6 x 1 Hex Bolt with Lock and Flat Washers (9 sets)
• Hook Bracket (1 piece)
• Large 70mm M8x1.25 hex bolt with spring lock and flat washers (1 set)
• AP Attachment Bracket (1 piece)
• SAE32 steel clamps, 2.5-inch diameter (4 pieces)
Powering the AP
NOTE: You only need to connect one type of power source at this point, even if you are
planning to use both PoE and AC power in your final deployment.
Apply power to the AP using one of these two methods:
• “Powering the AP with AC”
on page 51
• “Powering the Access Point with PoE” on page 52
Checking LED Operation
Perform a spot-check using the LEDs to verify that the AP is operating normally. When the
AP is operating normally and no wireless clients are associated with it:
■ The PWR LED is green.
■ The 2.4G and 5G LED shows slow blinking green. This indicates that there are no
wireless clients connected to the AP’s WLAN services.
You have checked the LED operation. Continue with “Configuring the AP for Management
by ZoneDirector” on page 15 or “Configuring the AP for Management by FlexMaster or
for Standalone Operation” on page 17.
