T301n Access Point

Mounting Guide

This Mounting Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how

to field-install the Ruckus Wireless T301n 30-Degree Narrow

Sector 802.11ac outdoor access point (AP). Unless specifically

indicated, the rest of this document refers to the T301n as an AP.

For detailed information on planning the installation, pointing the

internal GPS antenna, performing a site survey, preparing the AP

at the depot and shipping to the field, refer to the T301n 802.11ac

Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide. For information on

configuring and operating the AP, refer to the ZoneFlex Outdoor

Access Point User Guide. Both documents are available at

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: Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”)

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.

WARNING: Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear

eye protection before mounting the AP.
