The ZoneFlex Outdoor AP User Guide is available for download on the Ruckus Wireless Support Web site at https://support.ruckuswireless.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation About the AP 2 Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation Before installing the SC8800-S AP, it is helpful to verify the version and to plan the AP installation: ■ About the AP ■ Pointing the Internal GPS Antenna ■ Performing a Site Survey ■ Planning the Physical Installation ■ Deciding How to Power the AP About the AP The AP is equipped with 120-Degree Sector 2.4GHz and 5GHz internal antennas, and these antennas can be deployed where 2.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation About the AP The AP is equipped with two 5GHz N-type connectors, which allow operators to use up to two customer-supplied external 5GHz antennas instead of the internal 5GHz antennas. These external antennas can support operator-defined coverage areas and point-to-point deployments. For instance, Figure 3 shows an AP used with omni external antennas, and Figure 4 shows two APs used in a point-to-point backhaul deployment. Figure 3.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation AP Connectors and LEDs AP Connectors and LEDs Figure 5 identifies the top-panel connectors on the AP. Table 2 describes these connectors. Figure 5.

LEDs 1 Table 4. 2 3 4 5 LED descriptions No. Label Description 1 PWR LED • Off: No power is available, or the AP is not connected to a power source. • Solid Red: The AP is powering on. • Solid Green: The AP is connected to a power source and has completed its power-on sequence.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation AP Connectors and LEDs Table 4. LED descriptions (Continued) No. Label Description 3 AIR LED • Off: The AP is in standalone mode, or acting as a Root AP if in mesh mode. • Solid Green: The AP is functioning as a Mesh AP (MAP) and the uplink signal quality is good (>24dBm). • Fast Flashing Green (0.5Hz): The AP is functioning as a Mesh AP (MAP) and the wireless signal to its uplink AP is fair.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation Pointing the Internal GPS Antenna Pointing the Internal GPS Antenna The AP includes an internal GPS antenna. When the AP is to be used with the optional GPS feature enabled, the GPS antenna must be mounted outdoors and have as clear a view of the sky as possible (as close as possible to 360 degrees, and with no obstructing trees or buildings). The GPS antenna must not be installed where it can be covered with snow buildup to avoid attenuating the GPS signal.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation Performing a Site Survey Performing a Site Survey Perform a site survey to determine the optimal AP placement or maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Ruckus Wireless Support can supply Site Survey best practices information. The location and orientation that you choose for the AP play a critical role in the performance of your wireless network.
Planning the SC8800-S AP Installation Planning the Physical Installation Planning the Physical Installation The AP can be installed indoors or outdoors, such as on an interior wall or ceiling, on the exterior roof overhang of a building, or on a streetlight pole. The GPS antenna must be installed outdoors for proper GPS operation. Notes on Power Sources ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The AP only requires one power source (either AC or PoE), but can be powered by AC and PoE at the same time.
