NOTE: Depending on your network setup, you may also
connect both yellow-labeled ports to the same router or
switch.
Step 4: Connect the RUCKUS APs to the Network
1. Distribute the APs around your worksite.
2. Record each AP’s Ethernet MAC address (printed on the
bottom of every AP), and note each device’s exact worksite
location.
3. Connect the APs to a local power source or PoE enabled
Ethernet switch.
4. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the APs to the switch or
router on the same network as the SZ300.
NOTE: Some APs are PoE-capable. If connected to a Power
over Ethernet switch, the APs can draw power through the
Ethernet cables.
When the APs are powered on, they will automatically
discover the SZ300 on the network if the DHCP server from
which the APs are obtaining IP addresses also provides the
SZ300 IP address via DHCP Option 43.

network
Step 5: Activate the SZ300’s Licenses
After you set up the SZ300 and verify that wireless clients are able
to associate with managed APs successfully, you need to activate
and assign the AP and Tunnel Licenses using the LiMAN (license
management) portal on the Support site.
Before You Begin
You must have a Support portal account (including user name and
password). You can use this account to access general Support
site content including software upgrades, knowledge base articles
and technical documents.
If you do not have a Support portal account, you will be required
to register one before continuing with your product and licensing
activation.
Every capacity and support license that you have purchased will
have its own unique activation code and each must be activated
for the license to become valid. You will receive the activation
code in a separate Support Purchase Acknowledgment (SPA)
email for each license/support license.
Depending on the product, you may receive up to three (3)
different SPA emails for all of your licenses. The first three
characters of the activation code indicate the license type to
which the code is applicable.
• LIC: AP Capacity License
• LIC: AP Tunnle License—CAPACITY-RXGW (Direct Tunnel)
• SUP: SUP: Support License—SUP-SZ300-EU/PTNR
Activating a SZ300’s License/Support License
1. Open the SPA email that you received from RUCKUS.

3. Have the serial number of your SZ300 device ready.
4. Click the link in the SPA email.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to activate the licenses
purchased. When required, you will be prompted for your
SZ300 serial number.
6. It is important that you repeat steps #1 to #5 above for all
licenses that you have purchased as this will simplify the
“+License” workflow in the next step.
7. After you finish activating all of your licenses, you need to
assign them to your LiMAN account. Click the LiMAN button,
which appears after a license has been successfully activated
(see
).
• If your device is listed, click its serial number and proceed
to the next step.
• If your device is NOT listed, click the Register Smart Device
button (see
), enter your device's serial number,
and then click the Register Smart Device button (see Figure
9).
