4. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary components and tools. The Ruckus R720 can be mounted on a wall or ceiling using the included mounting kit.
4.1 Enstalasyon Pwen Aksè a
The R720 comes with an integrated mounting kit suitable for various surfaces. Follow these general steps:
- Chwazi yon kote: Select a central location for optimal Wi-Fi coverage, away from obstructions and sources of interference.
- Sekirize bracket la: Use the mounting bracket and appropriate screws to secure the access point to a wall or ceiling. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Attach the AP: Align the R720 with the mounted bracket and slide it into place until it clicks securely.
4.2 Powering the Access Point
The Ruckus R720 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) or an external 12V DC power adapter.
- Koneksyon PoE: Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or injector (802.3af/at/bt compliant) to the 2.5GbE Ethernet port on the R720. This will provide both power and data connectivity.
- Koneksyon pouvwa DC: If not using PoE, connect a 12V DC power adapter (sold separately) to the power connector on the rear of the device.
4.3 Rezo Koneksyon
Connect the R720 to your network infrastructure:
- Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to either the 2.5GbE or 1GbE Ethernet port on the R720. The 2.5GbE port supports higher speeds and PoE.
5. Fonksyònman Pwen Aksè a
Once powered on and connected to the network, the Ruckus R720 will begin its boot sequence. The LED indicators on the front panel provide status information.
5.1 Ki ap dirije Endikatè Estati
| dirije | Koulè/Eta | Deskripsyon |
|---|---|---|
| PWR | Solid vèt | Aparèy la limen epi l ap fonksyone nòmalman. |
| PWR | Off | Pa gen pouvwa. |
| 2.4G / 5G | Solid vèt | Radio is enabled and transmitting. |

| AIR | Klike vèt | Wireless activity detected. |
| CTL | Solid vèt | Connected to a controller (if applicable). |
5.2 Configuration (Advanced)
For advanced configuration, such as setting up SSIDs, security protocols, and network parameters, the Ruckus R720 can be managed in two primary modes:
- Mòd otonòm: The AP operates independently. Configuration is typically done via a web-based interface by connecting directly to the AP or through its assigned IP address on the network.
- Controller-Managed Mode: For deployments with multiple access points, a Ruckus ZoneDirector or SmartZone controller (sold separately) is highly recommended. The controller provides centralized management, configuration, and monitoring of all connected APs. Controller-specific features like Smart Mesh networking are only available in this mode.
Refer to the Ruckus documentation for your specific controller model or the standalone AP firmware for detailed configuration instructions.
