■ A 30mm to 60 mm (1.18 in. to 2.36 in.) pipe or pole
■ Steel clamp
■ 10mm flathead screwdriver
Step 1: Attach the Static Bracket to the Mounting Surface
The procedure for attaching the bracket to the mounting surface depends on whether you

Attaching the Bracket to a Flat Surface
WARNING: Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear eye protection before
drilling holes on the mounting surface.
NOTE: The wall anchors that are supplied with the Wireless Bridge are for mounting on
solid masonry walls only. If you are mounting the Wireless Bridge on other materials (for
example, drywall, wood, or hollow cinder block), you will need the appropriate types of
wall anchors. Check your local hardware store for options.
1. Place the static bracket at the exact location on the mounting surface where you want
to mount it.
2. Use the static bracket as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes on
the two mounting tabs.
