Installing the SC8800-S AP in the Field
Deploying the Access Point
7. Using a small screwdriver, tighten the small screws around the connector housing to
fix the connector pins into the terminals.
8. Mate the cable gland with the connector housing, and then tighten.
NOTE: 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.
9. Mate the boot with the cable gland, and then tighten to seal.
10.Connect the AC cord connector that you have assembled to the AC power socket on
the AP.
WARNING: Do not apply power to the AP at this point. You should connect the AP to a
power source only after you finish connecting all other components included in “Verifying
Access Point Operation” on page 50.
You have prepared the AC power connection.
Preparing the PoE Power Connection
1. Obtain a Ruckus Wireless 60W PoE injector. (Refer to “Appendix A: Ruckus Wireless-
Supplied and Customer-Ordered Parts” on page 61 to order a Ruckus Wireless 60W
PoE injector.)
2. Obtain one outdoor-rated and one indoor-rated Cat5e or better Ethernet cable.
3. Connect one end of the outdoor-rated Ethernet cable to the Data Out/Power Out port
on the PoE injector, and then connect the other end to the PoE IN port on the AP.
WARNING: Do not apply power to the AP at this point. You should connect the AP to a
power source only after you finish connecting all other components in “Verifying Access
Point Operation” on page 50.
You have prepared the PoE power connection.
