The ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge is designed for installation in an outdoor environment,
such as an exterior wall, or the roof overhang of a building, or a streetlight pole. Refer to
Figure 31 for the components involved in a typical installation.
Take note of the components that must be installed indoors an
d outdoors. The PoE injector
and power adapter that are shipped with the Wireless Bridge 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 outdoors (for example, the Wireless Bridge and
the Ethernet surge protector).
