Installation Components and Constraints

4 Installing the 7782 Access Point in the

Field

Before installing the 7782 AP, Ruckus Wireless recommends that you first complete the

procedures described in “

Planning the 7782 Access Point Installation” on page 4 and

“

Preparing the 7782 Access Point at the Depot and Shipping to the Field” on page 15.

Completing these procedures ensures that the AP installation has been planned, and that

the AP has been prepared for installation.

Continue with the following procedures:

■ Installation Components and Constraints

■ Deploying the Access Point

■ Mounting the Access Point

■ Mounting External Antennas (7782-E Only)

■ Verifying Access Point Operation

Installation Components and Constraints

■ The AP can be installed indoors or outdoors, such as on an interior wall or ceiling, on

the exterior roof overhang of a building, or on a streetlight pole.

■ Refer to Figure 30 for the components involved in a typical outdoor PoE installation.

Refer to Figure 31

for the components involved in a typical outdoor AC installation.

Note which components must be installed indoors and outdoors.

■ Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip loops on any cables

that are installed outdoors (for example, into the outdoor AP and into a building).

■ The AP can be powered using either AC power and/or Power over Ethernet (PoE).

• AC Power: An AC power cable connector is supplied with the AP. The customer

supplies the country-specific 3-wire AC power cable. The supported input voltages

are: Single Phase (L-N, PE): 120/240/250Vac 50/60Hz, and Split Phase (L-L, PE): 208/

230Vac 50/60Hz.

• Power over Ethernet: The customer orders a Ruckus Wireless PoE injector (part

number 902-0180-XX00, where XX is the country code).

■ The 7782 APs used in a mesh network generally use AC power.

Notes on Power Sources

■ The AP only requires one power source (either AC or PoE), but can be powered by AC

and PoE at the same time.

■ The AP may be powered by AC power or by PoE input using an 802.3af/at compliant

PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) when the PoE Output is disabled. The PoE output is

enabled by default.
