Become Familiar with the Installation Components
The Access Point can be installed in an indoor or outdoor environment, such as an interior
wall or ceiling or the exterior roof overhang of a building or a streetlight pole. Refer to
Figure 5
for the installation components involved in a typical installation.
Take note of the components that must be installed indoor and outdoor. The PoE injector
and power adapter that are shipped with the Access Point are for indoor use only. Ruckus
Wireless also strongly recommends that you form a drip loop on any cable that is
connected to devices that are installed outdoor (for example, the Access Point and the
Ethernet surge protector).
