H550 Access Point
Quick Setup Guide
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up
your RUCKUS H550 Dual Band 802.11ax Multimedia Wi-Fi Access Point
Wall Switch. After completing the steps described in this guide, you will be
able to access the H550 Access Point Wall Switch and begin providing
wired and wireless network access to users. The rest of this document
refers to the H550 Access Point Wall Switch as the H550.
The H550 has many options:
• It can be mounted on a standard USA- or EU-style single-gang wall
outlet box.
• It can be powered by a customer-supplied IEEE 802.3af- or 802.3at, or
IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PoE switch or injector, or can be powered by an
optional customer-ordered DC power adapter.
• It has side slots for one or two bypass cables. The mounting bracket has
locating hooks to keep the bypass cables aligned with the slots when
attaching the H550 to the mounting base.
• It can have a 3W customer-supplied USB device plugged in. The USB
device is very difficult to remove after the H550 is attached to the
mounting base.
NOTE: The H550 requires RUCKUS base image 104.0 firmware or later.
Managed H550 deployments require SmartZone 6.0 or later, or
ZoneDirector 10.5 or later.
About Peripheral Devices
The H550 can supply power to USB devices and PoE-powered devices, and
the power supplied depends on the PoE power supplied to the H550.
• The USB port can supply power up to a maximum of 3W. The port is
intended for customer-specific USB peripherals.
• The LAN4 + PoE Out port is intended for PoE-powered peripheral
devices such as IP telephones.
