Configuring the AP
Step 1: Collecting the AP MAC Address
Write down the MAC address (12 alphanumeric digits) from the outside of
the AP.
NOTE: If the AP is to be managed by a RUCKUS controller, then follow
the controller user documents to connect the AP to your local network
and configure it for initial operation. In that case, you may not need to
complete the following steps.
Step 2: Required Hardware and Tools
• A computer with an Ethernet adapter running Windows 10 or
equivalent, with Firefox or equivalent web browser
• One Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet cable
• An AC-to-12V DC power adapter (sold separately)
or
an 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector
Step 3: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer network port to the
POE IN port on the AP.
2. Connect the AC power adapter (sold separately) to the 12V DC AP
port, and plug the AC power adapter into a convenient and protected
AC power source.
Alternatively, connect the POE IN port to a PoE injector or PoE switch
for both power and network connectivity.

Step 4: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup
NOTE: The following procedures assume that Windows 10 is the
operating system. Procedures for other operating systems are similar.
1. On your Windows 10 PC, navigate to Control Panel > Network and
Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings to configure you network
adapter from the Local Area Connection settings.
2. Navigate to Ethernet > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/
IPv4) > Properties to edit the TCP/IPv4 address settings.
The Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box
appears.
NOTE: Write down all of the currently active settings so you can
restore your computer to its current configuration when this
procedure is completed.
3. Select Use the following IP address (if it is not already selected) and
then make the following entries:
• IP address: 192.168.0.22 (or any available address in the
192.168.0.x network, except 192.168.0.1, which is the default used
by the R350 AP)
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Leave the DNS server and Default gateway fields empty.
4. Click OK to save your changes. Your changes go into effect
immediately.
Step 5: Logging In to the AP Web Interface
As specified in Step 4: Preparing Your Computer for AP Setup on page 1,
the computer must be connected to your AP through the Ethernet port
and powered on, ready for setup.
1. On your computer, open a web browser window.
2. In the browser, enter https://192.168.0.1 to connect to the AP.
3. Press Enter to initiate the connection. When a security alert dialog
box appears, click OK/Yes to proceed.
