Pole MountingBoth modules support mounting on a poles with a bracket.DIN Rail MountingThe AP supports mounting onto DIN Rail brackets.FIGURE 2 E510 Mounting holesConnecting the AP Module to the AntennaModuleThe E510 has two RP-SMA connectors (Female) on the rearpanel for antenna RF cables to connect with the externalantenna module.The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN RF signals are carriedbetween the AP module and Antenna module using two SMAcables. The length of these cables can be up to 3 meters,which will lead to a loss of about 3dB in the 5GHz band and2dB in the 2.4GHz band.The length of cable depends on the needs of the installation,and cables are therefore purchased separately to suit theparticular deployment.1. Connect the antenna cables the ANT1 and ANT2connectors on the AP Module and the Antenna Modulerespectively.FIGURE 3 Connect the AP Module to the Antenna Module2. Finger tighten the antenna cable connectors.3. Connect the M12 antenna control cable to the M12connector (female) on the rear of the AP module.4. Connect the other end of the M12 antenna control cableto the M12 connector (male) on the rear of the Antennamodule.FIGURE 4 E510 Antenna Module - rear panel connectorsPower InputThe E510 can accommodate two sources of power, 802.3afPoE power or 12V‐48V DC.The E510 can be powered by 802.3af PoE switch or Ruckus-supplied PoE injector. Its power draw is within the 802.3afbudget when not supporting a USB dongle.Alternately, power can be supplied from a DC power sourceusing the M8 connector on the rear of the product.When both power sources exist, 12‐48V DC takes priorityover PoE Power.FIGURE 5 E510 DC power and PoE In portsConnecting the Ethernet CableThe E510 has one 10/100/1000 PoE Ethernet port with M12weatherproof connector.Connect the Ethernet cable to a 802.3af-compliant PoEswitch or injector to provide both power and networkconnectivity.If PoE power is not used (DC power is used), the AP cansupply power to a USB dongle with a 3W power budget. If aUSB dongle is used, the power budget may exceed thepower draw limits of 802.3af. Thereafter, the AP's ability tosupport a USB dongle will be "best effort" if powered by an802.3af PoE injector or switch.Factory Reset ButtonA waterproof push button on the rear panel performs a softreset or, if held in more than five seconds, reset to factorydefaults.USB PortE510 has one USB 2.0 port as an M8 IP67 connector(Female) on the rear of the unit. This port provides both dataconnection and a 3W power output for an IoT device such asa BLE Smart Beacon or Zigbee dongle.A USB cable with an M8 connector at one end and a USB 2.0Type-A connector at the other end can be attached to thefemale M8 connector on the E510 AP module. The USB cablelength is expected to be approximately 1m (minimum) to 3m(target). The USB dongle should be field installable and (thecap/cover) secured via torx or similar screws.Maximum output power of the USB port is 3W when the AP ispowered via DC power supply, and 0.5W under PoE power.Copyright ® 2017 Ruckus Wireless, Inc.
