READ ME FIRST - AP COMPATIBILITY

This„XAP-1240„is„compatible„with„the„Luxul„XWC-1000„Wireless„Controller„for„ fast,„easy„configuration„and„deployment„of„wireless„networks„with„multiple„APs.

n Note: If you’ll be using this AP with a Wireless Controller, refer to the Quick Install Guide included with the Wireless Controller for setup instructions.

If„you’re„using„separately-purchased„Luxul„APs„or„installing„this„AP„along„„ with„a„Wireless„Controller„in„an„existing„Luxul„deployment,„you„may„„ need„to„manually„upgrade„firmware„for„some„of„those„APs„before„installing„„ the„Wireless„Controller.

Luxul„APs„running„firmware„version„5„or„later„(like„the„one„in„ this„package)„are„Wireless„Controller-compatible„and„can„ be„used„with„the„Controller„as-is.„When„purchasing„Luxul„

APs„for„use„with„the„Wireless„Controller,„look„for„an„orange„

READ ME FIRST - AP COMPATIBILITY

This„XAP-1240„is„compatible„with„the„Luxul„XWC-1000„Wireless„Controller„for„ fast,„easy„configuration„and„deployment„of„wireless„networks„with„multiple„APs.

n n Note:nIfnyou’llnbenusingnthisnAPnwithnanWirelessnController,nreferntonn thenQuicknInstallnGuidenincludednwithnthenWirelessnControllernfornn setupninstructions.

If„you’re„using„separately-purchased„Luxul„APs„or„installing„this„AP„along„„ with„a„Wireless„Controller„in„an„existing„Luxul„deployment,„you„may„„ need„to„manually„upgrade„firmware„for„some„of„those„APs„before„installing„„ the„Wireless„Controller.

Luxul„APs„running„firmware„version„5„or„later„(like„the„one„in„ this„package)„are„Wireless„Controller-compatible„and„can„ be„used„with„the„Controller„as-is.„When„purchasing„Luxul„

AP SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

1

Physical Installation

The„XAP-1240„access„point„is„designed„for„simple„and„efficient„installation.„„

Four„keyholes„allow„for„easy„wall-mounting,„or„for„mounting„to„a„pole,„use„the„ included„cable„ties„(zip„ties)„to„secure„the„AP„to„the„pole.„Loosely„secure„two„ cable„ties,„one„through„each„mounting„flange„slot,„then„tighten„the„cable„ties.

X „

Single Access Point Placement:„Because„the„signal„generated„by„the„

XAP-1240„is„directional,„the„unit„should„be„located„at„the„perimeter„„ of„the„desired„coverage„area,„with„the„large„flat„surface„aimed„toward„„ the„center.

XAP-1240nSinglenAPnCoveragenPattern

X „

Multiple Access Point Placement:„You„may„need„to„experiment„with„

AP„placement„to„optimize„the„roaming„experience.„Place„APs„to„ensure„ adequate„coverage,„but„not„so„far„apart„that„there„is„no„signal„overlap.„

Adjacent„APs„should„overlap„enough„that„the„client„device„has„a„good„ connection„to„the„AP„to„which„it„is„currently„attached,„but„also„sees„the„ next-nearest„AP.„Ideally,„roaming„clients„should„see„signal„strength„of„„ two„overlapping„APs„in„the„range„of„-60„to„-70„dBm„at„the„midway„„ point„between„two„APs.„To„learn„more„about„AP„placement,„visit„„ luxul.com/ap-placement .

Ideally, roaming clients should see signal strength of two overlapping

APs in the range of -60 to -70 dBm at the midway point between two APs
