This Mounting Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to 
field-install the Ruckus Wireless T710 access point (AP).
For detailed information on planning the installation, performing a site 
survey, and operating the T710, refer to the ZoneFlex Outdoor Access

.
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.

protection before mounting the T710.

STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SEALING THE RJ-45 
C
ABLES
The T710 may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for Ethernet 
when configured as a Root AP (RAP), and another when the T710 is 
supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a small cell or micro 
cell radio. When the T710 uses RJ-45 cables, connect and seal the 
cables using the M25 data cable glands as shown in Figure 3.
WARNING: Do not use any PoE injector not tested and approved by 
Ruckus Wireless to power the T710 Access Point. 
WARNING: Do not plug PoE IN power into the PoE OUT port. See 
Figure 2.
WARNING: If using PoE OUT, it is MANDATORY to use the custom 
Ruckus supplied 60W PoE injector (part #902-0180-XX00), or to use 
AC power.
WARNING: If using a PoE switch to supply power to the T710, 30W 
MUST be reserved for the T710 on the switch. Failure to ensure a 
30W supply may result in unpredictable operation of the access point. 
Additionally, if using a PoE switch, the T710’s PoE OUT port cannot be 
used to power additional devices. 
Figure 2: PoE IN and PoE OUT ports 
1 Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-ring, 
clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown in Figure 
3.
CAUTION! The minimum software revision for the T710 
is ZoneFlex (ZF) 9.13 or later, or SmartZone (SZ) 3.4 or 
later. 
DO NOT CONNECT THE T710 TO A RUCKUS 
WIRELESS ZONEDIRECTOR RUNNING 9.12.2 OR 
EARLIER.
