Mounting Guide

This 

Mounting Guide

 provides step-by-step instructions on how 

to field-install the Ruckus Wireless T301n 30-Degree Narrow 
Sector 802.11ac outdoor access point (AP). Unless specifically 
indicated, the rest of this document refers to the T301n as an AP.

For detailed information on planning the installation, pointing the 
internal GPS antenna, performing a site survey, preparing the AP 
at the depot and shipping to the field, refer to the 

T301n 802.11ac 

Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide

. For information on 

configuring and operating the AP, refer to the

WARNING:

 

Only trained and qualified personnel should be 

allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

 

WARNING: 

Installation of this equipment must comply with local 

and national electrical codes.

 

CAUTION:

 

Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) 

drip loop in any cable that is attached to the AP or the building. 
This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering 
the AP or the building where the cable terminates. 

CAUTION:

 

Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets 

local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning 
protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.

 

CAUTION:

 

Make sure that proper lightning surge protection 

precautions are taken according to local electrical code.

 

WARNING:

 

Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear 

eye protection before mounting the AP.
