After completing the steps described in this Guide, you will be able to access the Wi-Fi Wall Switch and begin providing wired and wireless network access to users. The rest of this document refers to the H500 Access Point Wall Switch as the H500.The H500 has many options: • It can be mounted on a standard USA- or EU-style single-gang wall outlet box.• It can be powered by a customer-supplied IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PoE switch or injector, or can be powered by an optional customer-ordered DC power adapter.• It has side cutouts for one or two Ethernet bypass cables. The mounting bracket has locating hooks to keep the bypass cables aligned with the cutouts when attaching the H500 to the mounting base.• It can have a low-power (0.5W or less) customer-supplied USB adapter plugged in. The USB adapter is very difficult to remove after the H500 is attached to the mounting base.ABOUT POWERING PERIPHERAL DEVICESThe H500 can supply power to USB and PoE-powered devices, and the power supplied depends on the PoE power supplied to the H500.• The USB port is intended for low-power devices such as BLE beacons. The maximum power that the USB port can supply is 0.5W. • The PoE port is intended for PoE-powered peripheral devices such as IP telephones.THIS GUIDE IN OTHER LANGUAGES•请从以下网站获得该指南的简体中文版 https://support.ruckuswireless.com.• Vous trouverez la version française de ce guide à l'adresse suivante https://support.ruckuswireless.com.•こ の ガ イ ド の日本語版は https://support.ruckuswireless.com でご覧く ださい。•이 가이드의 한국어 버전은 웹 사이트(https://support.ruckuswireless.com)에서 확인하시기 바랍니다.• Veja a versão em português (Brasil) deste guia em https://support.ruckuswireless.com.• Puede ver la versión en español (América Latina) de esta guía en https://support.ruckuswireless.com.BEFORE YOU BEGINBefore deploying Ruckus Wireless products, please check for the latest software and the release documentation.• User Guides and Release Notes are available at http://support.ruckuswireless.com/documents.• Software Upgrades are available athttp://support.ruckuswireless.com/software.• Open Source information is available athttp://opensource.ruckuswireless.com.• Software License and Limited Warranty are available at http://support.ruckuswireless.com/warranty.PACKAGE CONTENTS• H500 Access Point Wall Switch• Mounting bracket• Two 10mm M3x0.5 thread Torx flat head machine screws• Two 1” 6-32 thread Phillips pan head machine screws• Product warranty statement• Registration card• Regulatory flyer• Declaration of Conformity, if required•This Quick Setup GuideNote: The H500 requires Ruckus Wireless base image 100.0.1 firmware or later.
