Introduction
This is a Ruckus Small Cell (RSC) setup guide authored to enable readers to onboard RSCs with the help of Ruckus Cloud Management
system.
After successful setup and commissioning, Ruckus APs are capable of transmitting on 10 or 20 MHz bandwidth channels in TDD-LTE and
providing wireless coverage to compatible LTE devices.
The goal for this document is to help users configure and setup a Q710 AP and successfully register and attach a user-equipment (UE) to be
able to browse the internet.
This document can be divided broadly into following two sections:
• Hardware installation for Q910 APs
• Commissioning of APs using Ruckus Cloud
Each AP could be powered by either a managed PoE+ switch or PoE injector (PoE+ advisable) or DC power adaptor shipped within the AP
box, whichever is available.
APs are by default configured to send dhcp requests when powered up and successful bootup is complete. APs rely on an external dhcp
server to provide each AP, a routable IP address which will enable it to route and send connection requests to:
1. EMS (Ruckus Cloud)
2. Network (EPC)
3. SAS
4. Timing source (Master AP or GPS)
IP connectivity to 1, 2, 3, and PTP timing phase and frequency lock (4) is mandatory for an AP to be able to provide LTE service. A disruption
of connection with any one may lead to a service outage.
Each AP can be configured to:
• Obtain its timing information from the GPS satellites and then assume the role of a Master PTP source for other APs in the network.
• Assume a PTP slave role and obtain its timing information from another AP that is the designated Master (that's IP reachable) for
that venue.
For the AP to obtain timing via GPS and/or function as Master timing source, place the AP such that it has direct line-of-sight with open sky
or as close to the outside facing windows or doors as possible.
NOTE
The terms Ruckus Small Cell (RSC) and Access Point (AP) imply the same meaning and may be used interchangeably through this
guide.
