Introducing the ZoneFlex Access Point

Getting to Know the Access Point Features

The 7762 includes internal 5GHz antennas, and also provides two external antenna

ports, in case you want to attach an external antenna to extend the range of your

wireless network.

If you want to use customer-supplied 5GHz external antenna(s), connect the 5GHz

external antennas to the standard N-type radio frequency (RF) antenna connectors

on the AP.

NOTE: To enable the AP to use the external antennas, select the Enabled option in

the External Antenna parameter. (This option is disabled by default.)

Status LED If the Access Point is operating in standalone mode:

• Amber: The WLAN service is up and at least one wireless client

is associated with the AP.

• Flashing amber: The WLAN service is up and no wireless clients

are currently associated with the AP.

If the Access Point is being managed by Ruckus Wireless

ZoneDirector:

• Green: The AP is part of a mesh network (either as Root AP or

Mesh AP) and is connected to an uplink with good signal. If mesh

networking is disabled but the WLAN service is available, the

Status LED is also green.

• Fast flashing green: The AP is part of a mesh network (as Mesh

AP) and is connected to an uplink with fair signal.

• Slow flashing green: This Mesh AP is searching for an uplink or is

attempting to establish communication with ZoneDirector.

• Off: Mesh networking is disabled and the WLAN service is

unavailable.

RJ45

Connectors

Two LAN ports that support Power over Ethernet (PoE):

• PoE IN port: Supports 10/100/1000Mbps connections, connects

to the network and receives 802.at PoE from the supplied PoE

injector (if connected).

• PoE OUT port: Supports 10/100/1000Mbps connections. If the

supplied PoE injector is used, this port can supply 802.af PoE to

the connected PoE-capable device (for example, another

ZoneFlex 7762 AP or an IP-based surveillance camera). To use this

port to supply PoE, you first need to enable the PoE feature on

the Web interface.

DC Connector In addition to PoE, you can also use direct current or DC (from a

battery, for example) to supply power to the Access Point.
